Important Information continued-
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are operating properly when the installation is complete.
DO NOT operate the water heater with jumpered or absent controls or safety devices.
DO NOT tamper with or alter the water heater and/or controls.
DO NOT operate the water heater if any external part or control has been submerged in water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system that was under water.
This water heater is suitable for installation on combustible flooring. DO NOT install this water heater on carpeting.
DO NOT operate this water heater without first being certain it is filled with water.
Flammable items, pressurized containers, or any other potential fire hazardous articles must never be placed on or adjacent to the heater. Containers of flammable gases should not be stored or used in the same room with this water heater.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that a water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance that is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be unusual sounds such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to flow. Do not smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
CAUTION
The maximum supply temperature from the solar collector must not exceed 250°F (121°C).
