Filling the Water
Heater
Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water.
To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water.
Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning "ON" gas
to the water heater. To fill the water heater with water:
•
Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to
the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of
the water heater.
•
Open the cold water supply
valve to the water heater.
NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open
when the water heater is in use.
To ensure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by
opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run until
a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out of the water
heater and the piping.
Check all water piping and connections for leaks. Repair as
needed.
