For your safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable,
combustible or corrosive vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Warning: Carefully plan where you
install the heater. Correct combustion
air supply and flue pipe installation are
very important. If a gas appliance is not
installed correctly, fatal accidents can
result, such as carbon monoxide
poisoning or fire.
Warning: Exhaust gas must be vented
to outside using stainless steel vent
material suitable for category III vent
systems and temperatures up to 480°F.
Vent piping must be sealed gas-tight to
prevent possibility of flue gas spillage,
carbon monoxide emissions and risk of
fire, resulting in severe personal injury
or death. Approved vent terminators
must be used when penetrating to the
outside.
Warning: Place the heater in a location
where water leaks will do NO DAMAGE
to adjacent areas or lower floors.
Warning: Field wiring connections and
electrical grounding must comply with
local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the latest edition of the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
or in Canada, all electrical wiring must
comply with the local codes and the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
Part 1.
Warning: Shock hazard: line voltage is
present. Before servicing the water
heater, unplug power supply cord from
outlet. Failure to do so could result in
severe personal injury or death.
Warning: The heater must be
disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures
equal to or more than 0.5 psig.
Warning: The appliance should be
located in an area where leakage of the
heater or connections will not result in
damage to the area adjacent to the
appliance or to lower floors of the
structure. When such locations cannot
be avoided, it is recommended that a
suitable drain pan, adequately drained,
be installed under the appliance. The
pan must not restrict combustion air
flow.
Warning: The maximum inlet gas
pressure must not exceed the value
specified by the manufacturer and that
the minimum value listed is for the
purposes of input adjustment.
Warning: If a water heater is installed in
a closed water supply system, such as
one having a backflow preventer in the
cold water supply line, means shall be
provided to control thermal expansion.
Contact the water supplier or local
plumbing inspector on how to control
this situation.
Warning: Keeping appliance area clear
and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
Warning: Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
Warning: Precautions must be taken
prior to manually operating the relief
valve to avoid contact with hot water
coming out of the relief valve and to
prevent water damage.
Caution: Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can use improper and
dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
Warning: In order for the freeze
prevention kit to provide adequate
protection,120V AC must always be
supplied to the water heater.
