WARNING

THERE IS ARISK IN USING FUEL BURNINGAPPLIANCES SUCH AS GAS WATER HEATERS IN ROOMS, GARAGES OR OTHER AREAS WHERE GASOLINE, OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR ENGINE DRIVEN EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES ARE STORED, OPERATED OR REPAIRED. FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE HEAVY AND TRAVEL ALONG THE FLOOR AND MAY BE IGNITED BY THE HEATER’S PILOT OR MAIN BURNER FLAMES CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION. SOME LOCAL CODES PERMIT OPERATION OF GAS APPLIANCES IN SUCH AREAS IF THEY ARE INSTALLED 18” (.50m) OR MORE ABOVE THE FLOOR. THIS MAY REDUCE THE RISK IF LOCATION IN SUCH AN AREA CANNOT BE AVOIDED.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS WATER HEATER DIRECTLY ON A CARPETED FLOOR. A FIRE HAZARD MAY RESULT. Instead the water heater must be placed on a metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth by at least 3 inches (7.6cm) in any direction. If the heater is installed in a carpeted alcove, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. Also, see the DRAIN REQUIREMENTS.

THE HEATER SHALL BE LOCATED OR PROTECTED SO IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO PHYSICAL DAMAGE BY A MOVING VEHICLE.

WARNING

FLAMMABLE ITEMS, PRESSURIZED CONTAINERS OR ANY OTHER POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDOUS ARTICLES MUST NEVER BE PLACED ON ORADJACENT TO THE HEATER. OPEN CONTAINERS OR FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE STORED OR USED IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THE HEATER.

THE HEATER MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING.

LOCATE IT NEAR A FLOOR DRAIN. THE HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE LEAKAGE FROM THE HEATER OR CONNECTIONS WILL NOT RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ADJACENT AREA OR TO LOWER FLOORS OF THE STRUCTURE.

WHEN SUCH LOCATIONS CANNOT BE AVOIDED, A SUITABLE DRAIN PAN SHOULD BE INSTALLED UNDER THE HEATER. Such pans should be fabricated with sides at least 2" (5cm) deep, with length and width at least 2" (5cm) greater than the diameter of the heater and must be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.

For appliance installation locations with elevations above 2000 feet (610m), refer to HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS section of this manual for input reduction procedure.

LEVELING

If the unit is not level, insert the bolts which were used in crating into the legs to correct this condition.

CLEARANCES

These heaters are approved for installation on combustible flooring in an alcove when the minimum clearance from any combustion construction are followed as indicated in figure 6 and Table 2.

The following units are approved for installation with side, rear and ceiling clearances as indicated below:

*The Canadian version has a 2” (5.08cm) to sides and rear.

**The Canadian version has a 4” (10.16cm) to sides and rear.

In all installations the minimum combustible clearances from any draft hood surface or vent piping shall be 6" (16cm). Vent piping passing through a combustible wall or ceiling must be a continuous run (no joints) and retain the 6" (16cm) clearance unless an approved reducing thimble is used.

A service clearance of 24" (61cm) should be maintained from serviceable parts, such as relief valves, flue baffles, flue damper devices, thermostats, cleanout openings or drain valves.

INSTALLATION ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOORING

The SBD85500NE is approved for installations on combustible flooring when installed with leg kit number 6570-194230-000.

1.Unit needs to be lifted in a way not to damage unit or laid on it’s side to access the bottom of the legs.

2.Slide leg extension under leg and the bolt up through the bottom hole located in the bottom of the leg.
