REMOVE CRATE

1.Remove all banding and pry off crate sides carefully so as not to damage the water heater.

2.Carefully roll/lift the water heater from the crate base.

CAUTION

Do not drop water heater. Do not bump water heater jacket against floor.

Do not bump exhaust vent pipe against crate or other objects. This will damage the heater and cause it to be inoperable or create nuisance problems.

MOVE WATER HEATER TO PERMANENT POSITION by sliding or walking. Place drain pan underneath water heater

INSTALL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (if not already installed).

WARNING

Temperature and pressure relief valve discharge piping must be piped near floor to eliminate potential of severe burns . Do not pipe in any area where freezing could occur. Do not install any shut-off valves, plugs or caps to the temperature and pressure relief valve or piping.

CAUTION

If building cold water supply has a back-flow preventer, check valve or water meter with check valve, provisions for thermal expansion of water in the hot water system must be provided.

DANGER

Temperature setting should not exceed safe temperature at fixtures. See water temperature control warning on page 16. If higher preheat temperatures are necessary to obtain adequate booster output, add an anti-scald valve for hot water supplied to fixtures .

LOCATION

KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

This water heater must be located in an area where the general public does not have access to set temperatures.

AIR REQU REMENTS

1.Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air.

2.For safe operation, adequate air is needed for combustion and ventilation. Sooting may result in serious damage to the water heater and risk of fire or explosion. It can also create a risk of asphyxiation. Such a condition often will result in a yellow, luminous burner flame, causing carboning or sooting of the combustion chamber, burner and flue tubes.
