INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
DESCRIPTION  
The 37E73A-9XX INTELLI-IGNITION™ control is a  
combination gas valve, ignition control, and thermostat for  
use on Power Vented water heaters. The microcomputer in  
the control supervises the ignition sequence and timings  
for the water heater, and provides diagnostic codes in case  
of system malfunction. The control provides direct burner  
ignition using the White-Rodgers’ Silicon Nitride ignitor. The  
control uses the INTELLI-IGNITIONtechnology to greatly  
extend the ignitor’s life.  
Adjustable Regulator Controls: The gas regulator on this  
control requires no field service. The regulator is factory  
adjustable for the proper burner gas pressure.

INSTALLATION  
Dirt or contamination in the gas line can block the control  
from operating creating a risk of explosion, injury, or death.  
To protect the control from dirt and contamination, a drip leg  
or sediment trap (see Figure 1) must be installed in the piping  
leading to the control.  
NOTE  
1. This control must be installed or serviced only by a  
professional.  
2. For your safety, this control is supplied with tamper  
resistant screws. Do not attempt to repair or adjust  
the control. If you experience problems, replace the  
control immediately. Continuing to use a damaged  
control could result in fire and/or explosion.  
1. Apply pipe compound to the male threads of the pipe that  
goes into the control, leaving the first two or three threads  
clean.  
2. Install control in the tank. Turn clockwise (  
). Use a  
3. An odorant has been added to the gas to help you  
detect it. Before lighting, search for the odor of gas by  
sniffing at floor level around the water heater.  
4. In some situations, the gas may lose its odor. To  
detect unodorized gas, you must have a gas detector,  
which can be purchased from your gas company. If  
you do not have a detector and have the slightest  
suspicion that gas may be present, get out of the  
house and call the gas company. DO NOT RELY  
TOTALLY ONYOUR NOSE.  
short piece of pipe to help in turning. Align the control so  
that the burner tube may be connected.  
3. Make the main burner connection. Do not use pipe joint  
compound or Teflon tape.  
4. Connect the gas line. Use new black iron pipe that has  
been properly reamed. If old pipe is used, be sure it  
is clean and free from rust and scale. Use pipe joint  
compound on male threads only. (Use pipe joint compound  
approved for natural and LP gas service.) Do not use  
TEFLON tape. Do not apply compound to the first two  
threads.  
REMOVING THE OLD CONTROL  
1. Shut off the gas to the water heater  
5. DO NOT use joint compound or tape on the union  
connection.  
2. Turn off electrical power to the water heater.  
3. Remove the two plastic wire connectors that plug  
into the bottom of the control. The connectors have  
latches which must be depressed. DO NOT FORCE  
THE CONNECTORS, DAMAGE TO THE WIRING MAY  
RESULT.  
4. Shut off the water at the cold water inlet.  
5. Connect a hose to the water heater drain cock. Drain the  
water to a nearby drain. Open a hot water faucet for faster  
draining.  
6. Make the electrical connections to the control. There are  
two plastic connectors that plug into the bottom of the  
control. The connectors are “keyed” so that they can only  
be inserted one way. Make sure that the connectors  
are properly aligned before attempting to insert. DO  
NOT FORCE THE CONNECTORS; DAMAGE TO THE  
CONTROL WILL RESULT.  
7. To ll the water heater with water:  
a. Close the water heater drain valve by turning the  
handle to the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on  
the lower front of the water heater.  
6. Disconnect the gas line at the union (Figure 1). Remove  
the piping from the old control.  
NOTE  
7. Remove the control by turning it counterclockwise (  
).  
The cold water supply valve must be left open when the  
water heater is in use.  
INSTALLING THE NEW CONTROL  
All piping must comply with local and state ordinances or  
with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1-NFPA 54),  
whichever applies.  
b. Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.  
c. To ensure complete filling of the tank, let air exit by  
opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to  
run until a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out  
of the water heater and the piping.

b. To increase the temperature press and release the  
HOTTER button once. The temperature indicators will  
now display the new temperature setting.  
4. Turn on power to the water heater. This can be done either  
by turning on the disconnect switch to the water heater,  
or plugging in the water heater to a nearby outlet. The in-  
staller should have made this provision for you, and it must  
meet local and state ordinances or the National Electric  
Code, whichever applies.  
5. For a brief time (one to five seconds) all of the indicators  
on the front of the control should come on, and then turn  
off. This indicates that the control has completed the self-  
diagnostic test, and is ready for operation. If any combi-  
nation of indicators remain illuminated, either refer to the  
troubleshooting section of this manual, or contact a quali-  
fied service person.  
Press and release the HOTTER button until you have  
reached the desired setting. HOLDING DOWN THE BUTTON  
WILL NOT CONTINUE TO RAISE THE SETTING. The Button  
must be pressed and released for each temperature change  
desired.  
To avoid scald injury, set the control to the lowest setting  
which will deliver your needed hot water. Refer to Table 1 to  
determine the approximate temperature setting, and the ap-  
proximate time for scald injury at that temperature.  
Table 1.Temperature Settings  
6. The water heater is now ready for operation, and will  
begin to heat the water to the factory default setting of  
approximately 70°F. If an alternate temperature setting is  
required, please refer to the following section “Temperature

TEMPERATURE REGULATION  
After the gas and electrical connections are made and the  
water heater tank is full of water, the control will now start to  
heat the water to the factory default setting of approximately  
70°F. If a higher setting is desired, start with the setting at the  
triangle ( ). This is approximately the 120°F setting, and the  
safest and most economical setting for the water heater.

1. “Wake up” the temperature indicators by pressing the  
COOLER and HOTTER temperature adjustment buttons at  
the same time and releasing after one second (see Figure  
4). One or two of the temperature indicators will light up.  
These indicators will only remain on for 30 seconds if no  
further buttons are pressed. After 30 seconds the control  
will go back to “Sleep” mode, and both buttons will again  
have to be pressed to see the water temperature setting.  
2. If this is the first time that the control has been used, the  
leftmost green indicator will be illuminated indicating the  
water temperature setting of approximately 70°F. See Table  
1 for an explanation of what each of the temperature indi-  
cators mean.

3. When you have completed setting the control wait 30  
seconds to see that the temperature indicators go off and  
the control enters “Sleep” mode. ALL OF THE TEMPERA-  
TURE INDICATORS WILL BE OFF DURING NORMAL  
OPERATION. If any time you see the indicators on, there  
may be a system error and you should consult the “Trou-  
bleshooting” section of this document, or contact a trained  
service professional.  
a. To decrease the temperature press and release the  
COOLER button once. The temperature indicators will  
now display the new temperature setting. Press and  
release the COOLER button until you have reached the  
desired setting. HOLDING DOWN THE BUTTON WILL  
NOT CONTINUE TO LOWER THE SETTING. The  
Button must be pressed and released for each tem-  
perature change desired.  
If you use hot water frequently and in short spurts, water tem-  
perature can occasionally exceed the temperature setting by  
up to 30°F because of the dynamics of the appliance. Keep  
this in mind when you are selecting a temperature higher than  
the factory default setting.  
Be sure to protect babies and the infirm or others with im-  
paired mobility who cannot get out of the hot water quickly.

2. Press and release the COOLER button as many times as  
needed until the green leftmost indicator is only lit. This  
temperature setting is approximately 70°F. Leave the gas  
turned on.  
3. When returning from vacation reset the temperature to  
that you noted in step 1.  
WARNING  
!
Scald burns occur in under one second with 160°F  
water, which this thermostat will deliver if the  
temperature is set at “VERY HOT”. Lower settings of  
the temperature will reduce the risk of scald and will  
reduce your fuel bill.  
Complete Shutdown  
1. Turn off the electrical disconnect on the appliance, or  
remove the plug from the receptacle, whichever applies.  
(Don’t worry; the Intelli-Ventcontrol will remember your  
correct temperature setting.)  
2. Turn off the gas supply to the water heater. The water  
heater is now completely shut down.  
They are the people most commonly hurt in scald injuries  
and in need of lower temperature and other protection like  
supervision, point-of-use temperature control equipment or a  
system mixing valve. A point-of-use valve or system mixing  
valve can be obtained from your local plumber.  
Checking the temperature setpoint may be performed at any  
time by the procedure described on step 1 of “Temperature  
Regulation” on page 4. No other action is needed for check-  
ing temperature setpoint.  
3. To restart the water heater, follow the instructions in the  
section “Operating Instructions”.  
There are no user serviceable parts in this control. The  
control is supplied with tamper resistant screws. DO NOT  
attempt to repair or adjust the control. If you experience prob-  
lems, discontinue use and replace the control immediately.  
Continuing to use a damaged control could result in fire  
and/or explosion.
