GENERAL INFORMATION

POWER BURNER

The initial start-up procedure of the gas power burner is provided
on page 18 thru 21. Refer to Figure 12, burner exploded view for
burner components location.
The sequence of operation of the power burner is provided on
page 15. For detailed Power Burner Operation, Maintenance
and Troubleshooting refer to the separate Power Burner Manual
provided with this water heater.

THERMOSTAT

It is suggested the thermostat be turned to the lowest setting,
which satisfies the hot water requirements of the system. This
helps minimize scale formation in the heater.

HIGH LIMIT

The high limit (not adjustable) is factory set to cutout at 205°F
(96°C). The high limit switch must be manually reset by
depressing the reset button on front of the control when water
temperature drops to about 180°F (82°C).
