CARE AND CLEANING
Water Tank
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
is full when water runs continuously from an open hot
water faucet.
Flushing should be done with an empty tank to promote
additional removal of sediment.

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.)

LOCATION (Cont.)
The installation must allow sufficient airflow for
combustion and ventilation, and should be as close to
a gas vent or chimney as possible. Avoid areas where
the water heater could be exposed to flammable
liquids and vapors or a corrosive atmosphere.
The water heater can be installed on combustible
flooring, but not directly on carpet. If the water heater
must be located in a carpeted area, install a wood or
metal panel as a barrier between the water heater
and carpet; the panel should be 3” larger than the
water heater in all directions.
To minimize thermal loss, the water heater should
be close to the areas of greatest demand. Insulated
water lines also help to maintain optimal temperatures
from water heater to faucet.
The installation must allow sufficient access to the
top, front and sides of the water heater for service.
Moving the water heater for service is not covered
under the warranty.
For installation requiring earthquake straps, minimal
clearance around the sides of the water heater is
acceptable. In this case, additional clearance should
be provided on the opposite side of the unit to allow
for service access. Refer to For Installations in the
State of California, page 4.
Refer to the rating plate beside the gas control/
thermostat on the front of the water heater for further
details.

Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GAS SUPPLY
WARNING Only connect this water heater
to the type of gas listed on its rating plate. Any
attempt to adapt the water heater for use with
a different type of gas could cause hazardous
operating conditions.
The gas supply line should be composed of an
approved gas piping material such as steel and
properly sized for the water heater. Install an ANSI
certified gas appliance connector or ground joint
union in the gas line close to the water heater.
Any flexible connectors in the gas line must be 36”
or shorter. Joint compound should be used sparingly
on male threads only and must be resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
The National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) requires that a
manual gas shut-off valve be installed.
A sediment trap must be installed downstream of the
shut-off valve, as close to the appliance as possible.
Refer to the illustration below.
Connect the pipe to the gas control/thermostat inlet
using a maximum torque of 40 ft-lbs. torque.
Gas pressure to the gas control/thermostat inlet
must not exceed 14” w.c. for natural gas or LP gas.
For purposes of input adjustment, the minimum
inlet gas pressure (with main burner on) is shown
on the water heater rating plate. If gas pressure is
not within the acceptable range, contact your gas
provider.
Pressure Testing
• Gas test pressures exceeding 14” w.c. (1/2 PSI or
3.5 kPa) require disconnecting the water heater
and gas shut-off valve from the gas supply line.
• Gas test pressures of 14” w.c. (1/2 PSI or 3.5 kPa)
or lower require isolating the water heater from the

Dispositif de sécurité
Pour complément de sécurité, ce chauffe-eau est
équipé d’un dispositif de résistance à l’allumage de
vapeurs inflammables (Flammable Vapor Ignition
Resistance - FVIR). Si des vapeurs inflammables (telles
que l’essence) s’introduisent dans l’admission d’air du
chauffe-eau, le dispositif FVIR est conçu pour isoler ces
vapeurs et éteindre le chauffe-eau si elles atteignent la
veilleuse et le brûleur.
AVERTISSEMENT Ce chauffe-eau est équipé d'une
thermistance de porte. N'essayez en aucun cas de
désactiver ou de modifier cette fonctionnalité. Cela
pourrait provoquer un incendie, une explosion ou une
production excessive et anormale de monoxyde de
carbone.
Ne tentez pas d’allumer le chauffe-eau si des
vapeurs inflammables sont présentes car il y a risque
d’incendie ou d’explosion. Une fois les vapeurs
inflammables retirées, contactez un technicien agréé. Le
remplacement du chauffe-eau en raison d’un arrêt causé
par des vapeurs inflammables n’est pas couvert par la
garantie.
