Installation & Service Manual

1Determine water heater location

Flooring

The Shield water heater is approved for installation on combustible flooring, but must never be installed on carpeting.

WARNING Do not install the water heater on carpeting even if foundation is used. Fire can result,

causing severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

When local codes require compliance with NSF 5, the heater must be sealed to the floor with a food grade silicone to prevent debris and harborage of vermin under the heater.

If flooding is possible, elevate the water heater sufficiently to prevent water from reaching the water heater.

Remove water heater from wood pallet

1.Remove the sides and the top of the crate.

2.Remove the blocks on the base of the crate to allow for easier removal.

3.The water heater can then be slid off the base of the crate for installation.

Table 1A Corrosive Contaminants and Sources

Products to avoid:

Spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons

Permanent wave solutions

Chlorinated waxes/cleaners

Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals

Calcium chloride used for thawing

Sodium chloride used for water softening

Refrigerant leaks

Paint or varnish removers

Hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid

Cements and glues

Antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers

Chlorine-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning solvents found in household laundry rooms

Adhesives used to fasten building products and other similar products

NOTICE

Do not drop the water heater or bump the jacket on the floor or pallet. Damage to the water heater can result.

Areas likely to have contaminants

Dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments

Prevent combustion air contamination

Install air inlet piping for the Shield water heater as described in this manual. Do not terminate vent/air in locations that can allow contamination of combustion air. Refer to Table 1A, for products and areas which may cause contaminated combustion air.

Swimming pools

Metal fabrication plants

Beauty shops

Refrigeration repair shops

WARNING

Ensure that the combustion air will not contain any of the contaminants in Table 1A. Contaminated combustion air will damage the water heater, resulting in possible severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage. Do not pipe combustion air near a swimming pool, for example. Also, avoid areas subject to exhaust fumes from laundry facilities. These areas will always contain contaminants.
