Location Requirements

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

Do not install in a mobile home.

Doing so can result in death or carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Flame Lock™ Safety 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-trap. The burning vapors literally “burn themselves out” without escaping back into the room. In the event of a flammable vapor incident, the Flame Lock™ Safety System shuts 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 disable the water heater until the system is reset. Note: Not following these instructions and/or an inadequate air supply can cause the Flame Lock™ Safety System to disable the water heater. Please make required installation and venting/air supply changes prior to resetting the system.

IMPORTANT: This water heater has a resettable thermal switch installed as part of the Flame Lock™ Safety System. DO NOT attempt to disable or modify this feature in any way.

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.

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.

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)-latest edition.
