    FOREWORD This design complies with the latest edition of the ANSI Standard Z21.10.3 for gas water heaters Vol. III Storage Water Heaters with input ratings above 75,000 BTU per hour Circulating and Instantaneous. Detailed installation diagrams are in this manual. These diagrams will serve to provide the installer with a reference for the materials and method of piping suggested.
  • Page 4: Grounding Instructions

    Correct orifice sizing and parts may be obtained from A.O. Smith Water Products Company. When ordering, be sure to state the model number and the altitude of the location where the water heater is being installed.

    LIGHTING AND OPERATING instructions. The thermal balancer (standard on Models HW-200M and HW-225M, optional on Models HW-120M and HW-160M) is a snap-acting single-pole thermal relay used only on Cer-Temp 80 Recovery systems. It gives immediate pump start but delay of pump shutoff for approximately 2 minutes.

    4. Discontinues ignition spark when the pilot flame is established. The S-8600 control used on propane gas models provides safety lockout if the pilot fails to ignite within the pilot flame establishing period. The S-8600 control used on natural gas models continues trial for ignition until pilot flame is established.

    OPERATION IMPORTANT Only qualified personnel shall perform the initial firing of the heater. At this time the user should not hesitate to ask the start-up technician any questions regarding the operation and maintenance of the unit. Lighting and Operating instructions are included with this manual. By using these instructions, the user may be able to make minor operational adjustments and save unnecessary service calls.
  • Page 18: Operating Instructions For I.i.d Models

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR I.I.D. MODELS The I.I.D. models have an automatic intermittent spark ignition system, figure 3, mounted on the jacket at the front of the heater which ignites the pilot gas whenever system controls call for heat. Start the unit in accordance with the instructions on the operating label attached to the heater. These instructions are repeated in the following.

    SERVICE INFORMATION The installer may be able to observe and correct certain problems which may arise when the unit is put into operation. HOWEVER, it is recommended that only qualified service personnel, using appropriate test equipment, be allowed to service the heater. Any safety devices used in conjunction with this appliance should receive periodic (at least twice a year) inspection to assure proper operation.

    CAUTION DO NOT USE A NYLON BRUSH OR OTHER STATIC CREATING MATERIAL TO CLEAN DUST AND CARBON DEPOSITS FROM HEATING SURFACES AND VENT. SUCH DEPOSITS ARE FLAMMABLE AND MAY BE IGNITED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY. USE A METAL BRUSH TO MINIMIZE THE DANGER OF EXPLOSION.
  • Page 23: Deliming Solvents

    The usage of water softening equipment greatly reduces the hardness of the water. However, this equipment does not always remove all of the hardness (lime). For this reason it is recommended that a regular schedule for deliming be maintained. The time between cleaning will vary from weeks to months depending upon water conditions and usage.

    REMOVING SILICATE Ammonium bifluoride flakes (NH FlHF) are used in conjunction with A. O. Smith UN•LIME delimer and pump type deliming kit, part no. 4930, to delime and remove siliceous materials from copper coil water heaters. CHECKOUT The checkout sequence should be used as an on-the-job trouble- shooting guide to identify the cause of incorrect system operation and suggest a remedy for its correction.
