Installation continued-

WARNING

Failure to adhere to these installation and operating instructions may create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the warranty.

This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this water heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or non-combustible floor. If the water heater is to be installed directly on carpeting, it shall be installed on top of a metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches (7.6 cm) in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. The minimum clearances to combustibles for this water heater is: zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the sides and rear, four (4) inches (10.2 cm) from the front of the jacket, zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the plenum, zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the air intake elbow and telescopic tubes and twelve (12) inches (30.5 cm) from the direct vent-air intake terminal. (See Figure 1).

OPTIONAL DIRECT VENT-AIR INTAKE TERMINAL GUARD

WARNING

The direct vent-air intake terminal is HOT while the water heater is in operation. Do not touch. Keep children, combustibles, gasoline and other liquids having flammable vapors away.

It is recommended that a vent-air intake terminal guard be installed when the vent-air intake terminal is located where it can be touched accidentally, or accessed by children. (See Figure 2).

A chain link or louvered fence may be used instead of the vent-air intake terminal guard. Maintain proper clearances as specified in this instruction manual to the vent-air intake terminal. (See Figure 3).
