of combustible material, gasoline and other
ammable liquids or vapors can result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Δ All applicable local, state, national and provincial
codes, ordinances, regulations and laws must be
observed.
Δ For installations in Massachusetts – code requires
the units to be installed by a licensed plumber or

Δ The appliance cannot operate without the correct
amount of air for combustion. Please make sure
there is sufcient inow and outow of air for
ventilation; never obstruct the ow of ventilation
air. Failure to provide the proper amount of
combustion air can result in a re or explosion
and cause death, serious bodily injury or property
damage.
Δ If an external electrical source is utilized, the
appliance must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes
ANSI/NFPA 70 and or the CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code.
Δ Follow all local codes and/or the most recent

completely expelled out of the building.
Δ DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been
underwater. Immediately call a qualied service
technician to inspect and replace any part of the
control system and gas control which has been
underwater. Be sure not to reverse the water and
gas connections as this may damage the gas
valve.
Δ Water temperatures over 120°F can cause
severe burns instantly or death from scalding.
If the proposed water heater outlet temperature
is above 120°F, a thermostatically controlled
mixing valve (or a temperature limiting valve)
for reducing point of use water temperature is
recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury.
Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing
authority for further information.

area where leakage within the unit or at its
connections will not result in damage to the area
adjacent to the appliance or to lower oors of the
structure. Glow Brand will not be responsible for
any damage resulting from leaking if adequate
drainage is not provided. When such locations
cannot be avoided, it is recommended that
a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be
installed under the appliance.

purpose other than water heating and space
heating.
Δ The ow of combustion air and ventilation to
the water heater must not be obstructed. The
water heater area must be kept clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other
ammable vapors and liquids.
Δ If the water quality is known to be highly acidic
and/or extremely hard, water treatments (such as
water softeners and ltration) are recommended
to maintain full warranty. Consult the local water
authority.
