BURNER FLAME CHECKS
At the time of installation and at periodic intervals (not more than six (6)
months), a visual check of the pilot and main burner flames should be
conducted. The flames should be similar to those pictured below. The main
burner should light smoothly from the pilot. (See Figure 9).

DANGER
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within five (5)
seconds at a temperature setting of 140°
F (60° C). To protect against hot water
injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system. This valve
will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch
water lines. A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing authority should
be consulted.
Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent
overheating. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off
the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a qualified service
technician.
Note: Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, condensate will form
on the cool tank surface and drops of water will fall on the hot burner and
combustion chamber surfaces producing a “sizzling” noise. Condensation is
normal and does not indicate a leak. It will disappear when the tank becomes
heated.
