TANK CLEANOUT PROCEDURE
The following practices will ensure longer life and enable the unit
to operate at its designed efficiency:
1. Once a month the heater should be flushed. Open drain valve and
allow two gallons of water to drain from heater. Inlet water valve
should remain open to maintain pressure in tank.
2. A cleanout opening is provided for periodic cleaning of the tank.
Gas must be shut off and heater drained before opening cleanout.
To clean heater through cleanout opening, proceed as follows:
1. Drain heater.
2. Remove outer cover plate from lower side of heater jacket.
3. Remove six (6) hex head screws securing tank cleanout plate
and remove plate.
4. Remove lime, scale, or sediment using care not to damage glass lining.
5. Inspect cleanout plate gasket, if new gasket is required, replace

screws securely.
7. Replace outer jacket cover plate.
