Special Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System:
This water heater is equipped with a Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System. In
the event of improper usage or storage of gasoline or other flammable materials in the
location where the water heater is installed, the technology will resist ignition of the
flammable vapors outside the confines of the water heater.
The Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System Features:
• Advanced Flame Arrestor Design
• Re-settable Thermal Switch to prevent burner/pilot operation with restricted
airflow
• Flammable Vapor Sensor
• Automatic Ignition Device
• Sight Window to observe operation of pilot and burner
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Activation of the Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System
occurs when flammable vapors are drawn into the water heater and are combusted. If
flammable vapors are detected:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Leave the premises and immediately call the fire department from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the fire department’s instructions.
Once the flammable vapor has been evacuated, contact your plumbing professional or
the manufacturer for further instructions. Replacement of a Flammable Vapor Ignition
Resistant System equipped water heater due to a flammable vapor shutdown is not
covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
