Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-
Note: For California installation this water heater must be braced,
anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an earthquake.
See instructions for correct installation procedures. Instructions may
be obtained from California Office of the State Architect, 400 P Street,
Sacramento, CA 95814.
Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating
and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical
compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants,
cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming
pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals.
These materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or
no odor to reveal their presence. NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WATER
HEATER CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER
HEATER IF EXPOSURE HAS OR WILL OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY
POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE
WATER HEATER.
WARNING
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas are heavier than air
and will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements,
crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve
as pockets for accumulation of leaking gas. Before lighting,
smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell
next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any
telephone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
telephone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS
CORRECTED!
