Qualifications
Qualified installer or service agency
Installation and service of this water heater requires ability equivalent to that of a Qualified Agency (as defined
by AnSI below) in the field involved. Installation skills such as plumbing, air supply, venting, gas supply and
electrical supply are required in addition to electrical testing skills when performing service.
ansi Z223.1 2006 sec. 3.3.83: “Qualified Agency” - “Any individual, firm, corporation or company that either
in person or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a) the installation, testing or
replacement of gas piping or (b) the connection, installation, testing, repair or servicing of appliances and
equipment; that is experienced in such work; that is familiar with all precautions required; and that has

service warning
If you are not qualified (as defined by AnSI above) and licensed or certified as required by the authority
having jurisdiction to perform a given task do not attempt to perform any of the procedures described in
this manual. If you do not understand the instructions given in this manual do not attempt to perform any
procedures outlined in this manual.
service reminder
When performing any troubleshooting step outlined in this manual always consider the wiring and connectors
between components. Perform a close visual inspection of all wiring and connectors to and from a given
component before replacement. Ensure wires were stripped before being crimped in a wire connector, ensure
wires are crimped tightly in their connectors, ensure connection pins in sockets and plugs are not damaged
or worn, ensure plugs and sockets are mating properly and providing good contact.
Failure to perform this critical step or failing to perform this step thoroughly often results in needless down
time, unnecessary parts replacement, and customer dissatisfaction.
