Clean main burners and air louvers free of dust, lint
and debris. Keep heater area clear and free from com-
bustibles and flammable liquids. Do not obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air. Make visual
check of burner and pilot flame. Yellow flame indicates
clogging of air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indi-
cates excessively high gas pressure. Low flame indi-
cates low gas pressure.

Check all controls to see that they are operational. To
check electronic safety (IID models), turn off main
burner. Observe pilot burner when shutting off pilot
gas. Ignition spark should go on. Main gas valve will
also drop out.
High Limit Switch - to check high limit switch, turn dial
setting down to a point slightly below the temperature
of the water leaving the heater. The reset button
should snap out and the burner should shut-off. Reset
dial to 30°F to 40°F above desired operating tempera-
ture and push reset button. Burner should light.
