Trouble Shooting for Common Issues

I don't have any hot water when I open the tap.
Make sure there is gas, water, and electricity to the
water heater (power is turned on and the gas is turned
on).
When I was using the hot water, the water got cold.
If you adjusted the flow from the tap to lessen it, you
may have gone below the minimum flow required. This
water heater requires a minimum flow rate to operate.
(See the specification page for the flow rate of your
model.) Decrease the temperature setting at the
remote controller or increase the water flow.
White smoke comes out of the exhaust.
During colder weather when the exhaust temperature
is much hotter than the outside air, the exhaust fumes
condense producing water vapor.

When I open a hot tap, I do not immediately get hot
water.
Hot water must travel through your plumbing from the
water heater to the faucet. The time period for hot
water to reach your fixture is determined by the amount
of water in the plumbing system between the water
heater and the fixture, water pressure, and the flow
rate of the fixture.
After I turn off the hot water tap, the fan on the
water heater continues to run.
The fan is designed to continue running for a short time
after the flow of water stops. This is to ensure constant
water temperatures during rapid starting and stopping,
as well as exhausting any residual gas flue products
from the unit.
