OPERATING YOUR WATER HEATER
Lighting Instructions
Read and understand these directions thoroughly
before attempting to light or re-light the pilot. Make sure
the tank is completely filled with water before lighting
the pilot. Check the data plate near the gas control
valve/thermostat for the correct gas. Do not use this
water heater with any gas other than the one listed on
the data plate. If you have any questions or doubts,
consult your gas supplier or gas utility company.
L.P.G. (Bottled Propane) Models
Liquefied petroleum gas is over 50% heavier than air
and in the occurrence of a leak in the system, the gas
will settle at floor level. Basements, crawl spaces,
skirted areas under mobile homes (even when
ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will
serve as pockets for the accumulation of gas. Before
lighting an L.P. gas water heater, smell all around the
appliance at floor level. If you smell gas, follow the
instructions as given in the warning on the front page.
When your L.P. tank runs out of fuel, turn off the gas at
all gas appliances including pilot lights. After the tank is
refilled, all appliances must be re-lit according to their
manufacturer’s instructions.
Explosion Hazard
Replace viewport if glass is missing or damaged.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
