water. (Purge air out of all water lines) Close the faucets when the water is flowing
smoothly and verify that there are no leaks at the connections and within the water heater.
4. Turn on the gas supply and check all gas connections for gas leaks with leak detection
solution.

E: Door Installation
It is necessary to use only an applicable Girard Water Heater Door (part numbers:
1GWHD, 1GWHDA6, 1GWHDAS10) with a Girard GSWH-1 Water Heater. Use of any
other brand of water heater door will affect the operation and performance of the Girard
Water Heater and may cause a hazardous condition.
After mounting and securing the unit in the chosen location, install the door making sure that:
1. The door mounting posts on the door flange are properly aligned with corresponding
holes along the door's lower edge. If needed, carefully re-align the posts with pliers.
2. The exhaust tube extends beyond the door's face through the clearance hole
BUT not beyond the face of the door. Be sure that the exhaust tube is seated
properly. See Figure 6
• DO NOT FORCE THE DOOR CLOSED with the tube pressed inside the door.
Doing so may damage the door or the exhaust tube and misalign the sail switch.
3. Ensure that the door lock operates smoothly and engages easily.
