Enter the serial from the rating plate, keeping all letters and leading zeros. Enter the separate model for manual search. Leave the year era unknown unless you have independent evidence; select water-heater or other specialist formats only for the documented equipment.
Checks ENERGY STAR model records and searches manuals separately from the serial. Certification records do not establish this unit’s manufacture date.
The model is a separate label field. A few exactly verified GE model families can narrow repeating years using GE’s production windows; other models keep all supported date candidates.
For a historical or shared water-heater label, choose the documented system only after confirming the tank manufacturer and model family. Choose a system only when it matches the product family and its documentation. A purchase year or a manual’s publication date does not establish a manufacturing date.
