Locating The Water Heater
This water heater must NOT be installed in any location where gasoline
or flammable vapors are likely to be present, unless the installation is
such to eliminate the ignition of gasoline or flammable vapors.
The location for the installation of this water heater is of utmost importance.
Before installing this water heater, consult the installation section of these
instructions. After reading these installation and operating instructions, select
a location for the water heater where the floor is level and is easily accessible
to a power supply and water connections. It is recommended that the water
heater be located near the center of greatest hot water usage to prevent heat
loss through the pipes. DO NOT locate the water heater where water
lines could be subjected to freezing temperatures. Locate the water
heater so that access panels and drain valves are accessible.
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 or 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.
