3. At least once a year, check the combination temperature and pressure relief
valve to insure that the valve has not become encrusted with lime. Lift the
lever at the top of the temperature-pressure relief valve several times until
the valve seats properly without leaking and operates freely.
4. If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve on the appliance
discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed
water supply system. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing
inspector on how to correct this situation. Do not plug the combination
temperature and pressure relief valve outlet for any reason.
5. Monthly, drain off a gallon of water from the water heater to remove silt and
sediment.
6. A combination sacrificial anode rod/hot water outlet nipple has been
installed to extend tank life. The anode rod should be inspected
periodically (every 2 years) and replaced when necessary to prolong tank
life. Water conditions in your area will influence the time interval for
inspection and replacement of the anode rod. Contact the plumbing
professional who installed the water heater or the manufacturer listed on the
rating plate for anode replacement information. The use of a water softener
may increase the speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection of
the anode is needed when using softened (or phosphate treated) water.
7. If this water heater is equipped with fuses, before removing any fuse,
disconnect the all power to the water heater. Open the upper control box
door and replace fuses according to the size indicated on the wiring
diagram affixed to the inside of the door.
Maintenance continued-
Contact your local plumbing supplier or plumbing professional for replacement
parts or contact the company at the address displayed on the rating plate of
the water heater.
