Facts to Consider About the

Location

You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, because the placement is a very important consid- eration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for

the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not for use in mobile homes or outdoor installation.

Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water

heater in a new location, the following critical points must be observed.

•The location selected should be indoors as close as practical to the gas vent or chimney to which the water heater vent is going to be connected, and as centralized with the water pip- ing system as possible. The water heater, as all water heaters, will eventually leak. Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where water flow will cause damage.

ACAUTION

WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the

water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connecti_'nsshould leak, the flow of water will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan shouldbe installed under the water heater. Drain pans are avail. able at your local Sears store. Such a drain pan must be not greater than 1¼ inchesdeep, have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches greater than the water heater dimensions

and must be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Under no circumstances is the

manufacturer or Sears to be held liable for any water damage in connection with this water heater.

AWARNING

INSTALLATIONS IN AREASWHERE FLAMMABLELIQUIDS VAPORS) ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT OR STORED

GARAGES, STORAGE, AND UTILITY AREAS, ETC): Flammableliquids(suchas gasoline,solvents,propane(LP) or butane, etc.), all of which emit flammable vapors, may be improperlystoredor usedin suchareas.The gaswater heater

tion must be accomplishedin a way that the pilot flame and mainburnerflameare elevatedfrom the floor at least 18inches.

While this may reduce the chancesofflammablevaporsfrom a floor spillbeingignited,gasolineand otherflammablesubstances shouldneverbe storedor usedin the same room or area con-

taininga gaswater heateror other openflameor sparkproduc- ingappliance.

NOTE: Flammablevaporsmay be drawnby air currentsfrom i otherareasofthe structureto the appliance.

AWARNING

•The location selection must provide adequate clearances for ser- vicing and proper operation of the water heater.

AWARNING

This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. 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 an) direction, or if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet the entire floor must be covered by the panel. Failure to heec this warning may result in a fire hazard.

AWARNING

Minimum clearances between the water heater and com- bustible construction are I" at the sides and rear, 4" at the

front, and 6" from the vent pipe. Clearance from the top of the jacket is 18" on most model_ Note that a lesser dimension may be allowed on some models. Refer to the label on the water

heater adjacent to the gascontrol valve for all clearances.
