WARNING

•This water heater is suitable for potable water heating only. DO NOT use this water heater for space heating or combination space heating/domestic water heating.

•This water heater is not suitable for use in pool or spa applications.

•The water heater must be installed outdoors. Failure to properly install this water heater outdoors may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Refer to the installation of the water heater in this installation and instruction manual for details on the location and installation outdoors. DO NOT INSTALL INDOORS.

WARNING

Pressure relief valve discharge piping must be piped near the ground or drain to eliminate potential of severe burns. Insulate and use electrical heat tape around the discharge drain pipe in any area where freezing could occur. Do not install any shut-off valves, plugs or caps to the pressure relief valve or discharge 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 warnings in the “Temperature Adjustment Section” of this Installation and Operating Instruction Manual. If higher preheat temperatures are necessary to obtain adequate booster output, add an ASSE approved mixing valve for hot water supplied to fixtures.

UNPACKING

INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of damage.

1.All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected and packed.

2.Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately with Bradford White Corporation and noted on the Bill of Lading.

WATER HEATER LOCATION:

1.The IGE series water heaters must be installed outdoors. Refer to figure 1 and table 1 (Section IV) in this Installation and Instruction Manual for minimum installation clearances before choosing a final location for the water heater.

2.The water heater must be installed on a wall capable of supporting at least 50 pounds (23 Kg). Locate the water heater at a height convenient for servicing and above the reach of small children.

3.Minimum clearance to combustible material is 12” (30.5 cm) from the Top, 24” (61 cm) from the Front, 0” from the Rear, 6” (15.2 cm) from the Sides, and 12” (30.5 cm) from the Bottom of this water heater. An optional recess box is available for installing the water heater recessed in an outside wall and enclosing the piping (see features section). When the water heater is installed in a recess box, the clearances from the top, bottom, sides, and back surfaces of the recess box to combustible materials are 0”. The clearance from combustibles from the front of the recess box
