WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: Do not light appliances, touch switches, or use phones. Call gas supplier from neighbor's.
Appliance shall not be installed where flammable liquids/vapors are present. Vapors may be drawn by air currents.
CAUTION: Do not use for spa/hot tub. Do not install in bathrooms, bedrooms, or occupied rooms kept closed.
WARNING: Use only the gas type listed on the rating plate. Failure to do so can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY or PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Vapors from flammable liquids explode and cause severe burns. Do not store flammable products near the heater.
DANGER: Water over 125°F causes severe burns or death. Children, disabled, elderly are at highest risk.
Manufacturer not responsible for failures due to non-compliance with codes, undersizing, poor water conditions, or improper use.
Read all instructions thoroughly. Installation should be by a qualified person if skills are lacking.
WARNING: Closed systems require T&P valves and expansion tanks to prevent pressure buildup and valve leaks.
WARNING: Improper installation/service can cause injury or property damage. Consult manual or qualified personnel.
Inspect shipment for damage. Verify rating plate gas type matches supply. Do not use incorrect gas.
Select accessible location. Provide adequate clearances for servicing. Ensure burner tray can slide out.
CAUTION: National Fuel Gas Code prohibits installation in bathrooms, bedrooms, or garages unless elevated.
Provides minimum clearances from combustible surfaces for alcove and floor installations as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Requires adequate air supply for combustion. Details provisions for unconfined and confined spaces per NFPA 54.
Avoid corrosive atmospheres. Install drain pans where leakage could cause damage. Warranty excludes corrosive damage.
Check for venting spillage using a flame/smoke test. Connect to approved venting system per local codes.
Instructions for installing the flue damper. Ensure proper operation and avoid modification.
Connect hot/cold water lines. Install shut-off valves and consider expansion tanks for closed systems.
Use approved pipe, install shut-off valve, union, drip leg. Ensure correct gas type and use resistant compounds.
LP gas is heavier than air. Detect leaks at floor level. Follow safety instructions if gas is smelled.
Anodes extend tank life. May cause 'rotten egg' odor. Removal voids warranty. Consult specialists for odor issues.
For manifolding, heaters should have similar input rates. Ensure even spacing for identical pipe runs.
Hydrogen gas can form in unused systems. It's flammable. Open faucet to vent air before using appliances.
Install certified T&P valve. Discharge line must be properly routed to drain and not restricted.
Manually operate relief valve annually. Persistent discharge may indicate closed system expansion.
