1Warning

For your safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible or corrosive vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Warning: Carefully plan where you install the heater. Correct combustion air supply and flue pipe installation are very important. If a gas appliance is not installed correctly, fatal accidents can result from lack of air, carbon monoxide poisoning or fire.

Warning: Exhaust gas must be vented to outside using 3" single wall sealed stainless steel vent pipe suitable for category III vent systems and temperatures up to 480°F. Vent and combustion air connector piping must be sealed gas-tight to prevent possibility of flue gas spillage, carbon monoxide emissions and risk of fire, resulting in severe personal injury or death.

Warning: Place the recirculating water heater in a location where water leaks will do NOT DAMAGE adjacent areas or lower floors.

Warning: Field wiring connections and electrical grounding must comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, all electrical wiring must comply with the local codes and the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1.

Warning: Shock hazard line voltage is

present. Before servicing the recirculating water heater, turn off the electrical power to the recirculating water heater at the main disconnect or circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury or death.
