HEATER WIRING All electrical work must be installed in accordance with the latest version of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, must conform to all local code authority having jurisdiction. ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR POSSIBLE ELECTROCUTION. If any of the original wire as supplied with the appliance must be replaced, use only type 105 C thermoplastic or equivalent.
GAS PIPING Contact your local gas service company to ensure that adequate gas service is available and to review applicable installation codes for your area. Size the main gas line in accordance with Table 7. The figures shown are for straight lengths of pipe at 0.5 in. W.C. pressure drop, which is considered normal for low pressure systems.
correct water column pressure allowing for a nominal pressure drop through the controls. The minimum gas supply pressure for input adjustment must not be less than 4.5" w.c. (1.12 kPa) for natural gas. Do not subject the combination gas valve to inlet gas pressures of more than 14.0"...
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The following information will describe the Sequence of Operation for this appliance. 1. Switch power on to unit. 2. Thermostat calls for heat. 3. Ignition Control Board performs diagnostic check on system components. 4. On completion of diagnostics check, the Ignition Control Board sends signal to Exhaust Inducer.
LIGHTING AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY A FIRE OR EXPLOSION WARNING MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

When the heater is operating at full capacity, or full gas input, it should consume 1 cu. ft. of gas in time indicated on Table 9. VENTING SYSTEM Examine the venting system every six months for obstructions and/or deterioration of the vent piping. Remove all soot or other obstructions from chimney which will retard free draft.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR PERIODIC REMOVAL OF LIME DEPOSITS FROM TANK TYPE COMMERCIAL WATER HEATERS The amount of calcium carbonate (lime) released from water is in direct proportion to water temperature and usage, see chart. The higher the water temperature or water usage, the more lime deposits are dropped out of the water.
Note: If your container does not have the vent cap and vent boss, drill a 3/16" hole in the handle. When you have finished deliming you will be able to plug this drilled vent with the stainless steel screw that is supplied with the kit. 2.
