Safety Precautions

AWARNING

Agas water heater cannot operate properly without the correct amount of air for combustion. Do not install in a

confined area such a closet, unless you provide air as shown in the "Locating The New Water Heater" section.

Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air. If you have any doubts or questionsat all, call your gas company. Failure to providethe proper amount of combustion air can result

in a fire or explosion and can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are

intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem- perature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/men- tally handicapped.If anyoneusing hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions.In addi- tion to using the lowest possibletemperature setting that satisfiesyour hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available

at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufac- turers instructions for installation of the valves. Before

changingthe factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" sectionin this manual.

_WARNING

Soot build-up indicates a problem that requires correc- tion before further use. Turn "off" gas to water heater and leave "off" until repairs are made, because failure to correct the cause of the sooting can result in a fire or explosion causing DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

AWARNING

This water heater must not be installed directly on car- peting. Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any direction, or if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must be covered b

the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire hazard.

AWARNING

The power vent water heater requires its own (separate) venting system. It cannot be connected to an existing vent pipe or chimney. It must be terminated horizontally to the outdoors. Failure to properly installthe venting system can

result in asphyxiation, a fire or explosion and can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,OR PROPERTY DAIv

AGE.

A, WARNING

No vent damper installation is compatible with this power vented water heater design.No vent damper, whether it is operated thermally or otherwise is to be installed on this powervented water heater.Alteration of anypart of the fac- tory-furnishedvent assemblycouldresult in improper oper- ation due to restriction of flue gases,spillageof flue gases and may causecarbon monoxide poisoning.

AWARNING

•The appliance and its individual shutoffvalve must be dis- connected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas system at test pressures in excessof I/2 pound per square inch(3.5kPa).

•The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply pip- ing system by closingits individual manual shutoff valve during any pressuretesting of the gas supply piping sys- tem at test pressures equal or less than I/2 pound per square inch(3.5kPa).

_,WARNING

BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER HEATERS]: Propane (L.R) gas is heavier than air. Should there be a leak in the system,the gas will settle near the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted areas under mobile homes (even when ventilated), closets and areas

below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumula- tion of this gas. Before attempting to light or relight the water heater's pilot or turning on a nearby electrical light switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the area. Search for odor of gas by sniffingat ground level in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected, follow steps indicated at "For Your Safety" on the cover page of this manual then leavethe premises.

AWARNING

Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaningsolvents,refrigera- tor and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach, and processchemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive.

Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present

AWARNINGa serioushealth risk or asphyxiation.
