Lighting and Shutdown
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Extended Shutdown Periods
If the water heater will not be in use for an extended
period of time, the appliance’s gas and water should
be turned off and the water heater drained to conserve
energy and prevent a buildup of dangerous hydrogen gas.
NOTE: Refer to Hydrogen Gas Caution, page 4.
The water heater and pipes should also be drained if
they could be exposed to freezing temperatures. After
a long shutdown period, the water heater’s operation
and controls should be checked by a qualified service
technician. Confirm that the water heater is completely
filled before placing it in operation.
NOTE: Refer to Water Tank, page 11.
849-6000245 Rev. 2
Temperature Control
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Water temperature can be adjusted by turning the knob
of the gas control/thermostat on the front of the water
heater. Always read and understand safety instructions
contained in the Use & Care Manual before adjusting the
temperature setpoint. Note that the thermostat is adjusted
to its lowest temperature position when shipped from
factory for safety considerations.
NOTE: Refer to Water Temperature in Safety
Information, page 5.
Safety and energy conservation should be considered
when selecting the temperature setpoint of the water
heater:
• The recommended setpoint for the water heater is 120°F
(49°C), as water temperatures above 125°F can cause
severe burns or death from scalding.
• Lower temperature setpoints increase energy savings.
• Higher temperature setpoints can increase the cleaning
performance of dishwashers and washing machines, as
well as killing bacteria.
Mixing Valves
If the water heater’s temperature is set above HOT
(120°F/49°C), supplemental mixing valves are
recommended to reduce point-of-use water temperature
by mixing hot and cold water in branch water lines.
Contact a licensed plumber or local plumbing authority for
additional information.
Vacation Setting
This setting is recommended when you will be away from
the home for an extended period of time and hot water
is not needed. The vacation setting will reduce the water
temperature to 50ºF (10°C) to conserve energy.
NOTE: Refer to Hydrogen Gas Caution, page 4.
49-6000245 Rev. 2 9
All temperatures listed on the water heater’s gas
control/thermostat are approximate.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the water
heater has completed a heating cycle. To determine
the water temperature at point-of-use, open a hot water
faucet and hold a thermometer under the stream of
water.
Frequent, short uses of hot water can cause a
phenomenon called stacking, when the temperature
of the water at the top of the tank (closest to pipes
delivering water to the home) exceeds the temperature
at the bottom of the tank (where the gas control/
thermostat is located).
Before use, always test the water temperature with your
hand, keeping in mind that hotter water increases the
danger of scalding.
NOTE: Refer to Water Temperature in Safety
Information, page 5.
The gas control/thermostat is equipped with two safety
shut-off devices:
• One is designed to shut off gas to the water heater’s
burner if the pilot light goes out.
• The other is designed to shut off gas to the burner if
the water heater exceeds normal temperatures.
If one of these safety shut-off devices is activated, refer
to Troubleshooting Tips, page 20.
WARNING Should overheating occur or the gas
supply fails to shut off, turn off the manual gas control
valve to the appliance. Turn off gas to the water heater
if it has been subjected to overheating, fire, flood or
physical damage. (Refer to Lighting and Shutdown,
page 7.) Do not operate the water heater again until
it has been thoroughly checked by a qualified service
technician. Do not use this appliance if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any
part of the control system and any gas control which has
been under water.

DANGER Risk of Scald - Before manually
operating the relief valve, make certain no one will
be exposed to the danger of coming in contact with
the hot water released by the valve. The water may
be hot enough to create a scald hazard. The water
should be released into a suitable drain to prevent
injury or property damage.
NOTE: If the temperature and pressure relief valve
on the hot water heater discharges periodically, this
may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water
system. Contact the water supplier or a qualified
service technician to correct this. Do not plug the
relief valve outlet.
At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on
the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve, located
on the right side of the water heater. Flush several
gallons to the open drain below, confirming that the
water flows freely through the T&P valve and discharge
line.

Draining and Flushing the Water Heater
Over time, minerals contained in the water supply will
begin to accumulate in the water heater’s tank. Drain
and flush the water heater at least once a year to clean
any mineral deposits from the tank and ensure they do
not interfere with proper functioning of the water heater.
If the water supply is particularly hard (high in mineral
content), it may be necessary to perform this process
more often.
Draining the Tank:
1. Turn off the water heater and turn off gas to the unit.
(See To Turn Off Gas To Appliance, page 7.)
2. Attach a garden hose to the drain valve located at the
bottom of the unit and direct to a suitable drain.
3. Turn off the cold water supply.
4. Admit air to the tank by opening a hot water faucet or
lifting the handle on the relief valve.
5. Open the drain valve.
Flushing the Tank:
1. Follow the steps above to drain the water heater.
2. Once the water heater is empty, with the drain valve
open and garden hose attached to the drain valve,
turn on the cold water supply.
3. Allow several gallons to flush through the drain valve
and hose to an open drain.
4. Turn off the water supply and allow any water
remaining in the tank to drain.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until water runs clear.
6. Close the drain valve and completely fill the tank
before turning on gas and relighting the unit. The tank

CARE AND CLEANING
Anode rods are designed and installed to protect and
extend the life of residential water storage tanks.
The anode rod must be removed from the water heater’s
tank and inspected annually, and replaced when more
than 6” (15.2 cm) of core wire is exposed at either end of
the rod. *NOTE: Artificially softened water will cause the
anode rod to consume more rapidly.
The gas and cold water supply must be turned off before
servicing the anode rod.
NOTICE: Do not remove the anode rod from the water
heater’s tank except for inspection and/or replacement,
as operation with the anode rod removed will shorten
the life of the glass-lined tank and will void warranty
coverage.
Some areas have water conditions that may cause
an odor to develop in the water heater. Special alloy
replacement rods are available to address this condition.
*NOTE: Failure to replace the anode rod when
consumed voids the warranty for the tank. Warranty
coverage for all other components remains intact
and is unaffected by this maintenance requirement.
The replacement anode rod and the inspection for
consumption are not covered by the warranty.
Inspecting the Anode Rod:
1. Turn off the water heater and drain 1-2 gallons of
water from the tank. (Refer to Draining the Tank, page
11.)
2. Remove the anode cap and foam insulation beneath
it with a flathead screwdriver. (Refer to illustration
below.)
3. Unscrew the anode rod using a 1 1/16” socket/wrench
and lift it out of the water heater.
4. Inspect the anode rod. If more than 6” of core wire is
exposed, the anode rod should be replaced. (Refer
to illustration below.) If the anode rod has not been
depleted, reinsert it into the water heater following
steps 2-6 below.
CAUTION DO NOT touch the vent hood or vent
pipe located in front of the anode rod. These are
very hot and present a burn hazard.
Installing the Anode Rod:
1. If a new anode rod is required, be sure to purchase the
same type. For further information, contact a qualified
service technician or GEA Customer Support at
GEAppliances.com/waterheater.
2. Apply pipe joint compound or pipe thread sealant tape to
the threads of the anode rod.
3. Insert the anode rod into the water heater and tighten
with a torque wrench to 50 +/- 5 ft-lbs. of torque.
4. Close the drain valve, turn on the water supply and open
a hot water faucet to remove any air trapped in the water
lines.
5. Check for any leaks and repair.
6. Ensure that the water heater is completely full before
relighting it. (Refer to Lighting Instructions, page 7.)
