CARING FOR YOUR WATER HEATER
Water Heater Inspections
Venting System
(Direct Vent Only)
The venting system should be inspected periodically to
ensure all of the vent sections are secure and airtight.
Qualified service personnel are familiar with vent
system inspections.
WARNING: Do not operate the water
heater if the vent system shows signs of leaking
exhaust. Leaking exhaust could lead to death,
personal injury, and/or product failure.
For outdoor models, check the air intake and vent
outlet for blockage and/or debris.
Condensate Collector
CAUTIONS:
• Condensate is known to be acidic; refer to federal,
state (provincial), and local codes for proper
handling and discharge methods.
• D o not operate without the condensate collector
drain connected and routed to a proper drain that
can handle corrosive condensate.
This could cause
the system to malfunction or fail.
On a regular basis, inspect the condensate drain line
to ensure the condensate is draining properly.
The condensate coming from the water heater is known
to be acidic. The heater features a built-in condensate
neutralizer that uses CaCO
3
(calcium carbonate) in rock
form as a medium.
DANGER: Shock Hazard – Make sure the
electrical power to the water heater is off before
removing protective cover. Electric shock will cause
death or serious personal injury.
Periodically check the medium visually to ensure
that it is not depleted and refill accordingly. It is
recommended that you contact a qualified service
technician to perform the work.
