FACTS TO CONSIDER ABOUT THE LOCATION

Carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, because

the placement is a very important consideration for the safety of the

occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance.

This water heater is not for use in manufactured (mobile) homes

or outdoor installation.

Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater in a

new location, the following critical points must be observed:

1, Select a location indoors as close as practical to the vent terminal or

location to which the water heater vent piping is going to be connected,

and as centralized with the water piping system as possible.

2. Selected location must provide adequate clearances for servicing

and proper operation of the water heater.

CAUTIO

Property Damage Hazard

• Allwaterheaterseventuallyleak,

• Do not install without adequate drainage.

installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner

that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow will not cause

damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install the

wafer heater in an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot be

avoided, a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater.

Drain pans are available at your local hardware store. Such a drain pan

must have a minimum length and width of at least 2" (5.1 cm) greater than

the water heater dimensions and must be piped to an adequate drain.

The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.

Water heater life depends upon water quality, water pressure and the

environment in which the water heater is installed. Water heaters are

sometimes installed in locations where leakage may result in property

damage, even with the use of a drain pan piped to a drain. However,

unanticipated damage can be reduced or prevented by a leak detector or

water shut-off device used in conjunction with a piped drain pan. These

devices are available from some plumbing supply wholesalers and

retailers, and detect and react to leakage in various ways:

• Sensors mounted in the drain pan that trigger an alarm or turn off the

incoming wafer to the water heater when leakage is detected.

• Sensors mounted in the drain pan that turn off the water supply to the

entire home when water is detected in the drain pan.

• Water supply shut-off devices that activate based on the water

pressure differentia! between the cold water and hot wafer pipes

connected to the water heater.

• Devices that will turn off the gas supply to a gas water heater while at

the same time shutting off its water supply.

INSTALLATIONS IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (VAPORS)

ARE LIKELYTO BE PRESENT OR STORED (GARAGES, STORAGEAND

UTILITY AREAS, ETC.): Flammable liquids (such as gasoline, solvents,

propane (LP or butane, etc.) and other substances (such as adhesives,

etc.) emit flammable vapors which can be ignited by a gas water heater's

hot surface igniter or main burner. The resulting flashback and fire can

cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area. This water heater is

equipped with a FV sensor for detecting the presence of flammable

vapors, see Figure 8. When the sensor detects those vapors, the unit

will shut down and not operate. Should this happen, please refer to the

troubleshooting guide on pages 29-30. Even though this water heater is

a flammable vapors ignition resistant water heater and is designed to

reduce the chances of flammable vapors being ignited, gasoline and

other flammable substances should never be stored or used in the same

vicinity or area containing a gas water heater or other open flame or

spark producing appliance.

SCREEN ASSEMBLY

FIGURES.

Awarnin

Fire or Explosion Hazard I

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids In the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Avoid all ignition sources if you smell LPgaa.

Do not expose water heater control to excessive gas

pressure.

Use only gas shown on rating plate.

Maintain required clearances to combustibles.

Keep ignition sources away from faucets after extended

period of non-use.

Read instruction manual before

installing, using or servicing

water heater.

Also, the water heater must be located and/or protected so it is not

subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

AWARNING

Fire Hazard

For continued protection against

riskoffire:

• Do not install water heater on

carpeted floor,

• Do not operate water heater if

flood damaged.

This wafer heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. Carpeting

must be protected by metal or wood panel beneath the appliance extending

beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3" (7,6 cm) 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.

Awarnin

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.

Minimum clearances between the water heater and combustible

construction are 0 inch at the sides and rear, 5" (12.7 cm) from the front
