4.5 Proper location for installing your heater
Carefully select the location of the water heater. For your safety
and for proper heater operation, you must provide combustion
air to the heater and a proper exhaust vent system.
Follow the guidelines below:
▶ 1. Locate the heater where venting, gas and plumbing
connections are feasible and convenient.
▶ 2. The hot water lines should be kept short and insulated to
save energy. It is recommended to locate the water heater
as close as practical to the most frequently used hot water
fixtures.
NOTICE:
Risk of appliance freezing!
▶ The water in this water heater is cold and always remains
cold except for the times the burner is on. In the event of
power outage in conjunction with freezing temperatures, it
is recommended that the heater be drained.
See chapter 7.2, page 57 “Winterizing” for draining
instructions.
WARNING:
▶ Flammable materials, gasoline, pressurized containers, or
any other items or articles that are potential fire hazards
must NOT be placed on or adjacent to the heater. The
appliance area must be kept free of all combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
4.6 Heater placement and clearances
The water heater design is approved for installation on a
combustible wall (see chapter 4.7 Mounting installation)
provided the floor covering below the heater is
noncombustible.
For installations in an alcove or closet, maintain the minimum
clearances to combustible and non-combustible materials. See
fig. 6, page 14.
4.7 Hanging appliance on the wall
WARNING:
Severe personal injury and property damage!
Before mounting appliance:
▶ Check that there are no loose or damaged parts inside the
appliance.
▶ Confirm that the gas type of the heater matches the gas
supply you will be connecting the heater, see fig. 2,
page 11.
Front cover should be removed (see instructions on page 12) in
order to inspect components visually.
WARNING:
▶ Do not install this appliance on a carpeted wall. The heater
must be mounted on a wall using appropriate anchoring
materials.
NOTICE:
Risk of appliance freezing!
▶ In areas where outside temperature is routinely below 32°F
(0 °C) and the heater is to be installed on the inside of an
exterior wall, a minimum 2" air gap or rigid insulation
between the heater back and the wall is recommended.
If wall is sheathed with plaster or drywall, it is recommended
that two support boards, either 1"x 4" or 1/2" (minimum)
plywood first be attached across a pair of studs, see fig. 31,
page 40.
▶ Secure the wall mounting bracket provided with the heater
to a wall surface. The heater must be kept level on the wall
surface, see fig. 32, page 40.
▶ Hang the appliance on the bracket, see fig. 33, page 41.
