Safety Instructions

AWARNING

A gas water heater cannot operate properly without the correct amount of air for combustion. Do not install in a confined area such a closet, unless you provide air as shown in the "Locating The New Water Heater" section. Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air. If you have any doubts or questions at all, call your gas company. Failure to provide the proper amount of combustion air can result in a fire

or explosion and can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTYDAMAGE.

AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are

intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children,

the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of

these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot

water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature

setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, should be used at the hot

water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing sup- ply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instruc- tions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.

AWARNING

Soot build-up indicates a problem that requires cor- rection before further use. Turn "off" gas to water

heater and leave "off" until repairs are made,

because failure to correct the cause of the sooting can result in a fire or explosion causing DEATH, SERI-

OUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTYDAMAGE.

AWARNING

BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER

HEATERS]: Propane (L.R) gas is heavier than air. Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will set-

tie near the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted areas under manufactured (mobile) homes (even

when ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumulation of this

gas. Before attempting to light or relight the water eater's pilot or turning on a nearby electrical light

switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulated

ground level in the vicinit_ of the appliance. If odor is

detegasctined,the followarea. Searchsteps indicatedforodor ofat "gasFor byYoursniffingSafetyat" on the cover page of this manual then leave the

premises.

AWARNING

This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any direction, or if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must be covered by the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in a fire hazard.

AWARNING

VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is operated thermally or otherwise must be removed if its use inhibits proper drafting of the water heater.

Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters having thermal efficiency in excess of 80% may produce a relatively low flue gas temperature.

Such temperatures may not be high enough to prop- erly open thermally operated vent dampers. This would cause spillage of flue gases and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Vent dampers must bear evidence of certification as

complying with the latest edition of American

National Standard ANSI Z21.68 (ANSI Z21.66 & 67, respectively, cover electrically and mechanically actu- ated vent dampers). Before installation of any vent

damper, consult your local gas utility for further information.

AWARNING

*The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas system at test pressures in excess ofl/2 pound per square

inch (3,5kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas sup- ply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the

gas supply piping system at test pressures equal or less than 1/2 pound per square inch (3.SkPa).

AWARNING

Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent sys- tem may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaning sol- vents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chlo- ride, waxes, bleach, and process chemicals are typJ- cal compounds which are potentially corrosive,

Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may

 

ent a serious health_risk,WARNINGor asphyxiation.
