WARNING

Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury there shall be no materials stored against the water heater and proper care shall be taken to avoid unnecessary contact (especially by children) with the water heater components. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER, VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OR IN ANY LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER HEATER OR VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.

This water heater shall NOT be installed in any location where gasoline or flammable vapors are likely to be present, unless the installation is such to eliminate the probable ignition of gasoline or flammable vapors.

The location of this water heater is of the utmost importance. Before installing this water heater, you should read the Installation section of these instructions. After reading these Installation and Operating Instructions, select a location for the water heater where the floor is level and is easily accessible to water lines, gas supply (type identified on the rating plate), an adequate open drain, and a chimney or exhaust gas vent. DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could be subjected to freezing temperatures.

Make sure the cold water pipes are not located directly above the gas control so that condensate during humid weather does not drip on the controls.

Adequate clearances shall be provided for easy access to controls by service personnel to enable proper cleaning, servicing, and operation of the water heater. Under no circumstances is the front of the water heater to be placed in a position where the burner tray assembly can not slide out for removal when servicing.
