practices, and 4) proper safety practices such as but not
limited to a properly sized drain pan if installed in an area
where leakage from the tank or its connections would
result in damage to the area adjacent to the heater. In
addition, a new temperature and pressure relief valve,
certified by the Canadian Gas Association must have
been properly installed and piped to the nearest drain.

• installed for indoor operation only;
• used at temperatures not exceeding the maximum
calibrated setting of its thermostat;

Any accident to the water heater or any part thereof
(including freezing, fire, floods, or lightning), any misuse,
abuse or alteration of it, any operation of it in a modified
form, any operation of the water heater on desalinated
(deionized) water, or any damage caused by attempts to
repair tank leaks or parts, will void this warranty. This
warranty does not cover water heaters replaced for
cosmetic reasons or for reasons of noise, taste, odor,
discolored and/or rusty water. This warranty does not
apply to water heaters used to heat pools, whirlpools or
hot tubs or used for space heating where its sizing does
not conform with specifications of the heating component
manufacturer.

under applicable state law, that provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of the prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of the affected provision or the
