Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-
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 gases 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!
