WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause serious injury or proper- ty damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or addi- tional information, consult a qualified installer or service agency.

WARNING: If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, fire or explosion may result and can cause property damage, personal injury or death.

DO NOT INSTALL THE WATER HEATER ON COM- BUSTIBLE FLOORING. Install in accordance with all local codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to NFPA 31 or ANSI Z21.10.1, or contact Bock Water Heaters with questions concerning proper flooring materials.

Minimum clearance to combustible construction is: SIDES 6”; BACK 6”; FRONT 24”. The installation of this water heater must conform with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installa- tion must comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 31) Code.

WARNING: The recommended temperature for normal res- idential use is 120°F. The dial on the aquastat does not

always reflect the outcoming water temperature, which could occasionally exceed 120°F. The variation in outcom- ing temperature could be based on factors including but not limited to usage patterns and type of installation. Test your water at the tap nearest to the water heater.

WARNING: Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Before changing the temperature setting, read the instruc- tion manual. Temperatures at which injury occurs vary with the individual’s age and length of exposure.

The slower reaction times of children, elderly and physically or mentally impaired persons increases the scalding hazard to them. It is recommended lower water temperatures be used where these situations exist.

To lower water temperature use point-of-use tempera- ture limiting devices.

WARNING: Flammable vapors may be drawn to this water heater from other areas of the structure by air currents. Do not store or use any flammable liquids in the vicinity of this heater.

WARNING: Water heater blankets may restrict air flow to the heater and cause fire, asphyxiation, personal injury or death.

WARNING: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that had not been used for an extended period-gen- erally, two weeks or longer. To prevent possible injury under this situation, we recommend that a hot water faucet be wide open for several minutes before you use ANY elec- trical appliance that is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, an unusual sound – such as air escaping – will come from the open faucet as the hot water begins to flow. Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable – there must be no open flame near this open faucet.
