Installation / Operation Instruction Manual

General Information continued-

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 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.

INSTALLATION

Locating the Water Heater

This water heater must NOT be installed in any location where gasoline

or flammable vapors are likely to be present, unless the installation is

such to eliminate the probable ignition of gasoline or flammable

vapors.

The location this water heater is to be installed is of utmost importance. After

reading these installation and operating instructions, select a location for the

water heater where the floor is level and is easily accessible to a power

supply and water connections. It is recommended that the water heater be

located near the center of greatest hot water usage to prevent heat loss

through the pipes. DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines

could be subjected to freezing temperatures. Locate the water heater

so that access panels and drain valves are accessible.

IMPORTANT

Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and it’s components for

possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is

evident, please contact the supplier where the water heater was purchased

or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement parts.

WARNING

Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury,

there shall be no materials stored against the water heater and proper care

shall be taken to avoid unnecessary contact (especially by children) with

the water heater. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL FLAMMABLE

MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE USED OR

STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER OR ANY

LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER

HEATER.
