SYSTEM OPERATIONS-52
General maintenance of the Hot Water
System is as follows:
Inspect all water lines and their connec-
tions at regular intervals. Tighten connec-
tions as needed. If the water lines appear
worn or are not fl
exible, see your Silverton
dealer for replacement.
Manually operate the pressure relief
valve on the water heater at least once a
year (See photograph below, which illus-
trates the location of the valve).
DO NOT operate the pressure relief
valve while the water heater contains
hot water. Serious burns or injury
could result.
Flush out the water heater tank at least
once a year, if not used regularly.
Refer to the Winterization and Storage
pages in the Cleaning and Maintenance
section of this Owner’s manual for proper
preparation for seasonal storage of the
water heater.
