This document is an installation, use, and care guide for a Whirlpool Gas Water Heater with the Flame Lock™ Safety System.
The Whirlpool Gas Water Heater with the Flame Lock™ Safety System is designed to provide hot water for domestic use. It utilizes a gas-fired burner to heat water stored in a tank. The Flame Lock™ Safety System is a key feature, designed to reduce the risk of flammable vapor-related fires by trapping and burning vapors within the combustion chamber. In the event of a flammable vapor incident, the system shuts off the gas supply to the burner and pilot, preventing re-ignition. This safety system permanently disables the water heater if activated. The water heater uses a non-direct, single-pipe vent system to remove exhaust gases to the outside atmosphere. Air for combustion is drawn from the immediate water heater location or ducted in from outside.
