GENERAL INFORMATION
This
This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
This water heater is not design certified for installation in a mobile home. Such an installation may create a hazardous condition and will nullify the warranty.
CAUTION
Incorrect operation of this appliance may create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the warranty.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged in water. You should contact a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system including the combination gas control which has been submerged in water.
DANGER
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible, or corrosive vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
IMPORTANT
Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and components for possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is evident then please contact the supplier where the water heater was purchased or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement parts.
Make sure that you check the rating plate and combination gas control on the water heater to be certain that the type of gas being supplied corresponds with the marking on the rating plate and combination gas control.
A sacrificial anode is used to extend tank life. The removal of this anode, for any reason, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the sacrificial anode and the impurities in the water. If this should happen, an alternative anode may be purchased from the supplier that installed this water heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally, the water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any bacteria.
