Instructions

TOOLS REQUIRED:

3/4” Open-end wrench

Pipe Wrench

1/2" NPT Pipe (8" to 12" recommended)

Pipe Thread Sealant (Certified for use with Natural and LP

Gas/Liquefied Petroleum Gases)

NOTICE: Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping

shall be resistant to the action of Liquefied Petroleum Gases.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Refer to the Use and Care Manual supplied with the water

heater for complete information on the installation, lighting

instructions, operation and maintenance of the water heater.

1. TO TURN OFF ELECTRIC POWER AND GAS

SUPPLY TO THE WATER HEATER:

Turn off and disconnect all electrical power to the water heater.

Set the combination gas control to its lowest setting by press-

ing the COOLER and HOTTER buttons at the same time for

one second allowing the temperature light indicator to activate.

Depress the COOLER button until the VACATION indicator

light is displayed. Shut off the gas supply at the main gas sup-

ply line. Refer to the lighting instructions label located above

the water heaters combination gas control and the Use and

Care manual for additional information on shutting off the gas

supply.

2. DRAINING THE WATER HEATER:

Shut off the inlet water supply to the water heater. Connect

one end of a garden hose to the water heater’s drain valve and

route the other end to a drain or suitable draining area. Open a

hot water faucet to allow air to flow into the water heater tank

and then open the drain valve. See Figure 2.

3. DISCONNECTION OF BURNER SUPPLY TUBE

FROM THE COMBINATION GAS CONTROL:

Disconnect the wire funnel from the control valve. Disconnect

the wire funnel, six wire Molex connector, four wire Molex

connector, and green ground wire. Using a 3/ 4” open-end

wrench, disconnect the burner supply tube from the control.

See Figure 2.

NOTICE: LP Gas Combination Controls use left-handed

threads on the burner supply tube nut.

4. COMBINATION GAS CONTROL REMOVAL:

With the gas supply shut off, disconnect the main gas supply

piping from the combination gas control. After the water

heater is completely drained, screw a suitable length of 1/2

inch NPT pipe into the gas inlet connection of the combina-

tion gas control. Rotate the control counter clockwise 4

until removed. Remove the section of 1/2" NPT pipe. See

Figure 3.

COMBINATION GAS CONTROL

INSTALLATION:

Ensure the replacement combination gas control is correct

for the gas usage of the water heater. Hand start threading

the control into the water heater. Install the suitable length

of 1/2 inch NPT pipe previously used to the gas inlet of new

control. Rotate the control by turning clockwise 3 until the

control is tight and in the upright position.

6. CONNECTION OF BURNER SUPPLY TUBE, MOLEX

CONNECTORS AND GROUND WIRES:

Install the inverted flare end of the burner supply tube into

the combination gas control. Hand thread the hex nut fitting

on the burner supply tube into the control. Ensure that the

fitting is properly aligned with the control, otherwise cross

threading of the connection will occur. Tighten the fitting

using a ¾” open-end wrench. Thread the Molex connectors

through the wire funnel. Connect the four (4) wire Molex

connector to the four (4) pin connector on the bottom of the

control. Connect the six (6) wire Molex connector to the six

(6) pin connector on the bottom of the control. Connect the

wire funnel to the control valve. Connect the green ground

wire to the electricial connector on the side of the control.

See Figure 2.

7. CONNECTION OF THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY TO THE

COMBINATION GAS CONTROL:

Reconnect the main gas supply piping to the combination

gas control. Use pipe thread sealant certified for use with

Natural and LP Gas/Liquefied Petroleum Gases.

NOTICE: Compounds used on threaded joints of gas pip-

ing shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum

gases.

8. REFILLING THE WATER HEATER:

Disconnect the garden hose from the water heater’s drain

valve. Close the drain valve and turn on the inlet water

supply to the water heater. Open all hot water faucets to

allow all trapped air to escape. Let the water heater fill until

a steady stream of water is observed coming from all hot

water faucets then close all faucets.

9. TURN ON ELECTRIC POWER AND GAS SUPPLY

TO THE WATER HEATER:

Reconnect the electrical power to the water heater. Turn on

the main electrical power and gas supply to the water heater.

Check for leaks on the inlet supply piping using a soap and

water solution.

NOTICE: If the soap and water solution bubbles up, there

is a leak and the inlet gas supply piping must be tightened

and checked again.

10. LIGHTING AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Follow the “FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE

OPERATING” and “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” on the

label(s) affixed above the combination gas control.

With the main burner in operation, use a soap and water

solution to check for gas leaks at the burner supply tube

connections.

NOTICE: If the soap and water solution bubbles up, there

is a leak and the fittings must be tightened and checked

again.

IMPORTANT: If the leak(s) cannot be eliminated, turn off

the electrical power and gas supply to the water heater, and

contact the water heater manufacturer at 1-800-432-8373.

11. TEMPERATURE SETTING:

DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for Hot

Water SCALDS.

A temperature setting of 120° F (49°C) or less is recom-

mended as a useable water temperature.

Set the combination gas control to its lowest setting by

pressing the COOLER or HOTTER buttons at the same

time for one second allowing a temperature light indicator

to activate. Depress the COOLER or HOTTER button until

the 120°F ternperature indicator light is displayed.

The illustration in Figure 4 shows the recommended tem-

perature setting.
