Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

The FVIR System is designed to reduce the risk of flammable vapor-related fires. The patented system protects your family by trapping the burning vapors within the water heater combustion chamber through the special flame-arrestor. The burning vapors literally "burn themselves out" without escaping back into the room. In the event of a flammable vapor incident, the FVIR System disables the water heater by shutting off the gas supply to the water heater's burner and pilot, preventing re-ignition of any remaining flammable vapors in the area. This will not prevent a possible fire/explosion if the igniter is depressed and flammable vapors have accumulated in the combustion chamber with the pilot light off. If you suspect a flammable vapor incident has occurred, do not use this appliance. Do not attempt to light this appliance, or depress the igniter button if you suspect flammable vapors have accumulated inside or outside the appliance. Immediately call a qualified technician to inspect the appliance. Water heaters subjected to a flammable vapors incident will show a discoloration on the flame-arrestor and require replacement of the entire water heater.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Can result in serious injury or death

_Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Storage of or use of gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance can result in serious injury or death.

Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions.

Do not use or store flammable products such as gasoline, solvents, or adhesives in the same room or area near the water heater. If such flammables must be used, all gas burning appliances in the vicinity must be shut off and their pilot lights extinguished. Open the doors and windows for ventilation while flammable substances are in use.

If flammable liquids or vapors have spilled or leaked in the area of the water heater, leave the area immediately and call

the fire department from a neighbor's home. Do not attempt to clean the spill until all ignition sources have been extinguished.

Fire or Explosion Hazard

•Read instruction manual before installing, using or servicing water heater.

•Improper use may result in fire or explosion.

•Maintain required clearances to combustibles.

Keep combustibles such as boxes, magazines, clothes, etc. away from the water heater area.

Site Location

•Select a location near the center of the water piping system. The water heater must be installed indoors and in a vertical

position on a level surface. DO NOT install in bathrooms, bedrooms, or any occupied room normally kept closed.

•Locate the water heater as close to the chimney or gas vent as practical. Consider the vent system piping and combustion air supply requirements when selecting the

water heater location. The venting system must be able to run from the water heater to termination with minimal

length and elbows.

•Locate the water heater near the existing gas piping. If installing a new gas line, locate the water heater to minimize the pipe length and elbows.

•The water heater should be located in an area not subject to freezing temperatures. Water heaters located in unconditioned spaces (i.e., attics, basements, etc.) may require insulation of the water piping and drain piping to protect against freezing. The drain and controls must be easily accessible for operation and service. Maintain proper clearances as specified on the rating plate.

•Do not locate the water heater near an air-moving device.

The operation of air-moving devices such as exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryers, fireplaces, etc., can affect the proper operation of the water heater. Special

attention must be given to conditions these devices may create. Flow reversal of flue gases may cause an increase of carbon monoxide inside of the dwelling (Figure 8).

•If the water heater is located in an area that is subjected to lint and dirt, it may be necessary to periodically clean the base-ring filter and flame-arrestor (see External Inspection & Cleaning of the Base-Ring Filter; also see Cleaning the Combustion Chamber and Flame-Arrestor).

•This water heater is not for use in manufactured (mobile) homes or outdoor installation.

NOTE: This water heater must be installed according to all local and state codes or, in the absence of local and state codes, the "National Fuel Gas Code", ANSI Z223.1(NFPA 54)-current edition.
