WARNING WARNING
There is a risk in using fuel burning appliances in
rooms or areas where gasoline, other flammable
liquids or engine driven equipment or vehicles are
stored, operated or repaired. Flammable vapors are
heavy and travel along the floor and may be ignited by
the igniter or main burner flames causing fire or
explosion. Some local codes permit operation of gas
appliances if installed 18-inches or more above the
floor. This may reduce the risk if location in such an
area cannot be avoided.
Flammable items, pressurized containers or any
other potential fire hazardous articles must never be
placed on or adjacent to the water heater.
Open containers of flammable material should not be
stored or used in the same room with the water heater.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS WATER HEATER DIRECTLY
ON A CARPETED FLOOR. A FIRE HAZARD MAY
RESULT. Instead the water heater must be placed on
a metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width
and depth by at least 3-inches in any direction. If the
heater is installed in a carpeted alcove or closet, the
entire floor should be covered by the panel.
