No problems…YET! Guess I assumed from what I've read herein that trouble may come if something isn't applied. Not true?

The only real problem / concern, I do have is we've used our hot water heater twice in our new 19SB. Each time, while heating water either initially @ setup, or after use, the alarm goes off repeatedly. Is this common during some period of initial break-in??

Are we talking carbon monoxide alarm or smoke detector??  The 1st couple times I used my furnace the smoke alarm went off till the oil or what ever they use to protect the metal on furnace had burned off then I have had no more problem.

My house CO alarm (battery powered) came with a caution about using strong cleaners around the unit; the manual said that the detection component is very sensitive and can actually be ruined by the cleaners, rendering the alarm useless.  That component can also deteriorate to uselessness over a 3 or 4 year period just from being in use. 

That said, if the water heater is setting it off, I would have the dealer check all gas line connections and check the heater burner for proper function, as it is likely there is a problem.
