VENTING INSTALLATION

Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas

,Install vent system in accordance with codes.

,Do not operate water heater if flood damaged.

,Special consideration must be taken with installations above 10,000 feet (3,048 m) refer to high altitude

section of this manual.

, Do not operate if soot buildup.

, Do not obstruct water heater air intake with insulating jacket or blanket.

, Do not place chemical vapor emitting products near water heater.

, Gas and carbon monoxide detectors are available.

,Never operate the heater unless it is vented to the outdoors and has adequate air supply to avoid risks of improper operation, fire, explosion or asphyxiation.

,Analyze the entire vent system to make sure that condensate will not become trapped in a section of vent pipe and therefore reduce the open cross sectional area of the vent.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or death.

Always read and understand the instruction manual.
