￿ WARNING

￿WARNING

For a water heater already installed, you must turn off gas supply, turn off power and allow the water heater to cool before proceeding. You must also completely test the water heater after conversion to verify performance as described under Start- up, Section 10 of this manual. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

For Models 151 - 400 you must install a propane orifice to operate the Armor water heater on propane gas. Verify when installing that the orifice size marking matches water heater size (Models 151 – 400, Table 2A).

The 501 - 801 Models do not require an orifice installation for propane operation, but they will require a valve adjustment.

per the Start-up procedure in Section 10

of this manual. Failure to check and verify combustion could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
