_,WARNING

Minimum clearances between the water heater and com- bustibleconstruction are 0" at the sidesand rear, 5" at the

front, and 0" from the vent pipe. Clearance from the top of the jacket is 14" on most models. Note that a lesser

part of the burner system wh ch has been under water.

_,WARNING

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gascan be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explosive.To prevent the possio bility of injury under these conditions,we recommend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is pre- sent, there will probably be an unusualsoundsimilar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
