General Information continued-
This water heater has been manufactured for operation at altitudes from sea
level to 2000 feet (610m) (unless otherwise specified on the water heater rating
plate). For use of this appliance at an elevation greater than 2000 feet (610m),
contact the dealer or manufacturer listed on the rating plate for information on
any necessary modification. Uncorrected operation of this appliance may
create a hazard to life and property.
Make sure that you check the rating plate and combination gas control on the
water heater to be certain that the type of gas being supplied corresponds with
the marking on the rating plate and combination gas control.
A sacrificial anode is used to extend tank life. The removal of this anode, for any
reason, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active, an
odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the sacrificial
anode and the impurities in the water. If this should happen, an alternative anode
may be purchased from the supplier that installed this water heater. This will
minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally, the water heater
should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any bacteria.
IMPORTANT
Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and components for
possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is
evident then please contact the supplier where the water heater was
purchased or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement
parts.
