Safety Warning (Flammable Vapours)

WARNING

FLAMMABLES

Flammable Vapours

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Can result in serious injury or death

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Storage of or use of gasoline or other flammable vapours or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance can result in serious injury or death.

There is a risk of property damage, personal injury or death from the by-products of combustion (e.g., flue gases), in using fuel-burning appliances such as water heaters. Areas that may not be suitable for water heater installation include those where flammable liquids, gasoline, solvents, adhe- sives etc. are stored, or where engine-driven equipment or vehicles are stored, operated or repaired. These, and simi- lar products, should not be stored or used near the water heater or air intake. Due to the nature of air movement, flammable vapours can be carried some distance from the point of storage. The gas-fired water heater igniter or burn- er flame can ignite these vapours causing a flashback, fire or explosion, which may result in severe property damage, serious personal injury or death. If flammable liquids or vapours have spilled or leaked in the area of the water heater, leave the area immediately and call the fire depart- ment from a neighbor’s home. Do not attempt to clean the spill until all ignition sources have been extinguished.

Safety Warning (Scalding)

DANGER

Hot water produced by this appliance can cause severe burns due to scalding. The hazard is increased for young children, the aged or the disabled when water temperatures exceed 52°C (125°F). Use tempering valves, also known as mixing valves, in the hot water system to reduce the risk of scalding at point-of-use such as lavatories, sinks and bathing facilities. Such precautions must be followed when

this heater is operated in combination with dishwashing or space heating applications.

Safety Warning (Carbon Monoxide)

DANGER

Carbon Monoxide Warning

•Follow all vent system requirements by the local authorities having jurisdiction over your installation.

•Failure to do so can result in death, explo- sion or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Relief Valve Requirements (T&P)

All water heaters must be fitted with a proper temperature and pressure relief valve. These valves must be certified as meeting the requirements of the “Standard For Relief

Valves For Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22/CSA 4.4”.

If this water heater has been exposed to flooding, freezing, fire or any unusual condition, do not put it into operation until it has been inspected and approved by a qualified service technician.

THESE CONDITIONS CAN RESULT IN UNSEEN INTER- NAL DAMAGE and are not subject to warranty coverage.

CAUTION

Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two (2) weeks or more).

Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and can ignite when exposed to a spark or flame. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance con- nected to the hot water system. Use caution in opening faucets. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
