2. After the water heater completes a heat-up cycle, check the water
temperature at a faucet. Allow enough water to flow to ensure that
the water temperature reflects the tank temperature. Adjust the
water heater’s temperature setting as necessary.
a. Adjusting to a lower temperature setting will not immediately affect
water temperature. Draw sufficient water or allow the water heater
to remain idle until a heat-up cycle is initiated. Repeat step 3.
b. Adjusting to a higher temperature may not immediately affect water
temperature. If a heat-up cycle begins, return to step 3. If a heat-up
cycle does not begin, draw sufficient water or allow the water
heater to remain idle until a heat-up cycle is initiated. Repeat step
3.
SECTION VIII
MAINTENANCE
This indirect-fired water heater is intended to provide a service life of
many years. Components that require service, however, may be
subject to failure. Failure to use the correct procedures or parts in
these circumstances may make the water heater unsafe.
The owner should arrange to have the following inspections and
simple maintenance procedure performed by qualified service
personnel at the frequencies suggested.
1. Boiler and Domestic Water Piping (Annual) – Check all piping for
signs of leakage at joints, unions, and shut-off valves. Repair as
needed.
2. Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve (Annual) – The temperature-
pressure relief valve should be checked to ensure that it is in
operating condition. To check the relief valve, lift the lever at the
end of the valve several times. The valve should seat properly and
operate freely. If water does not flow, remove and inspect for
obstructions or corrosion. Replace with a new valve of the
recommended size as necessary. Do not attempt to repair the valve,
as this could result in improper operation and a tank explosion. In
areas with poor water conditions, it may be necessary to inspect the
temperature-pressure relief valve more often than once a year.
