30 V53De Manual
Clean the water lter
Clean the inlet water lter by closing the cold and hot
water inlet isolaon (shut-o) valves. Put a bucket
under the lter at the boom of the water heater to
catch any water that is contained inside the unit.
Unscrew the water lter. Rinse the lter to remove
any debris. Install the lter and open the isolaon
valves.
Pressure Relief Valve:
Operate the valve manually once a year. In doing so,
it will be necessary to take precauons with regard to
the discharge of potenally scalding hot water under
pressure. Ensure discharge has a place to ow.
Contact with your body or other property may cause
damage or harm.
Visual Inspecon of Flame
Verify proper operaon aer servicing. The burner
must ame evenly over the enre surface when
operang correctly. The ame must burn with a clear,
blue, stable ame. See the parts breakdown of the
burner for the locaon of the view ports. The ame
paern should be as shown in the gures below.
Freeze Protecon
Make sure that in case of freezing weather that the
water heater and its water lines are adequately
protected to prevent freezing. Damage due to
freezing is not covered by the warranty. Refer to the
secon on Freeze Protecon.
• Drain down solenoid valves be purchased and
installed that will automacally drain the unit if
power is lost. These are available in a kit,
104000059. (The condensate trap is not aected
by the auto drain down solenoid valves and will
have to be manually drained.)
Winterizing
These recommendaons are intended to suggest
pracces which are eecve for winterizing the water
heater. They should be used as a guide only. No
liability is assumed for any issues resulng from the
use of this informaon.
GAS
Shut o the gas to the water heater. It is generally
preferable to shut o the gas service to the enre
locaon if gas is not going to be used.
WATER
Shut o the cold water supply to the water heater. It
is generally preferable to shut o the water to the
enre locaon if water is not going to be used.
Drain the water heater by opening the drain valves on
the cold water line and hot water line.
Open several hot water taps and remove the lter
assembly at the water inlet in order to allow room for
expansion in case there is water in the lines that
freeze.
ELECTRIC
Disconnect the power supply by either unplugging the
electrical cord or by turning o the circuit breaker to
the water heater to prevent potenal damage from
irregular power surges or interrupons.
AIR INLET AND EXHAUST
Place a cover over the front panel (air inlet and
exhaust). The cover should be easy to apply and
remove. This will prevent debris, leaves, and small
animals from entering the water heater which could
cause air ow issues upon return to service.
Tesng the pressure relief valve should only be
performed by a licensed professional. Water
discharged from the pressure relief valve could cause
severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
