6.12 SHUTTING THE WATER HEATER DOWN FOR AN EXTENDED

complete the following instructions.
Extended Period Shut-Down Instructions

operating controls.
2. Disconnect AC power from the unit.
3. Close the water inlet and outlet valves to isolate unit.
4. Close external gas supply valve.
5. Open relief valve to vent water pressure.
6. Open the drain valve and drain all water from the unit.
7. If the temperature in the storage location will ever get below freezing, for even a short time,
you must drain all water from the unit before the temperature falls below freezing. Step 6 is
not sufficient, as it leaves some water in the bottom of the heat exchanger chamber. You
must then use a suction pump inserted through the inspection port to remove all water from
the bottom of the heat exchanger chamber and base assembly.
