•The venting system must be examined periodically by a qualified service technician to check for any leaks or corrosion.
• The burner flame must be checked periodically for a proper blue color and consistency.
• If the flame does not appear normal, the burner may need to be cleaned.
• If the burner needs to be cleaned, it must be performed by a qualified service technician.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• The pressure relief valve must be operated once a year to ensure that it is functioning properly and there is no
obstruction. Turn the power off to the unit before opening the relief valve, and make sure that water draining out of the
valve will not cause any damage.
• If the relief valve discharges periodically, it may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water system. Contact the
water supplier or a local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. Do not plug the relief valve.
• See Operation Manual for further maintenance.
