From our experience with the mentioned devices we find that there is a chance of contamination through the air supply of the device. This contamination may affect the gas-air mixture in the gas block; This can affect performance and efficiency of the device.

A.O. Smith has developed an air inlet grid to prevent contamination in the gas block. This improvement has been implemented structurally in all devices manufactured from March 6, 2017.

If you own a device that was manufactured between September 2016 and March 6 2017, you can receive this air inlet grid free of charge. Please fill out the application form on this page if you wish to receive this item.
