Replacing
the Burner Door Assembly
Fire or Explosion Hazard
• Tighten both manifold door screws securely.
• Remove any fiberglass between gasket and
combustion chamber.
• Replace viewport if glass is missing or damaged.
• Replace manifold component block if missing or
removed.
• Replace door gasket if damaged.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, explosion, or fire.
Read instruction manual before
installing, using or servicing
water heater.
1.
Check the door gasket for damage or imbedded debris
prior to installation.
Explosion Hazard
- Replace viewpo_ if glass is
missing or damaged.
, Failure to do so can result in
death, expiosion, or fire,
2.
Inspect the viewport for damage and replace as required.
3.
Insert the burner assembly into the burner compartment,
making sure that the burner assembly sits firmly against
the
burner
bracket
inside
the
combustion
chamber
(Figure 30).
4.
Inspect
the door gasket
and make sure
there
is no
fiberglass
insulation
between
the
gasket
and
the
combustion chamber.
5.
Replace
the
two
screws
which
secure
the
burner
assembly
to
the
combustion
chamber
and
tighten
securely.
There
should
be
no space
between
the
gasket part of the burner door and combustion
chamber.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the water heater if the door
gasket does not create a seal between the burner door and
the combustion chamber.
6.
Reconnect the manifold tubing (3/4" wrench), pilot tubing
(7/16" wrench), temperature
sensor wires, and thermopite
wires to the gas control valve/thermostat.
(See Figure 25
for the correct position of the thermopite wires.)
Do not
cross-thread or apply any thread sealant to the fittings.
7.
Reconnect the igniter wire.
8.
Turn the gas supply on and refer to "Lighting Instructions"
in the "Operating Instructions" section.
9.
Check for leaks by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak detection solution. Bubbles forming indicate a leak.
Correct any leak found. IMPORTANT: All leaks must be
fixed immediately.
10. Replace the outer door.

Testing
the Igniter System
Turn off the gas to the water heater at the manual gas shut-off
valve. Watch the electrode tip while activating the igniter. A visible
spark should jump from the electrode. To avoid shock, do not
touch the burner or any metal part on the pilot or pilot assembly.
If no spark is visible, check the wire connections and make sure
the electrode is not broken. Replace the electrode if defective.
NOTE: The electrode is part of the pilot assembly and cannot
be replaced separately. Dirt and rust on the pilot or electrode
tip can prevent the igniter spark. Wipe clean with a damp cloth
and dry completely.
Rust can be removed from the electrode
tip and metal surfaces by lightly sanding with an emery cloth or
