INSTALLATION

Locating The Water Heater

This water heater MUST be installed indoors out of the wind and

weather.

This water heater shall 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 of the water heater that is to be installed is of utmost

importance. Before installing this water heater, consult the installation

section of these instructions. 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.

Some models are not equipped with a drain valve. For those models, install

a drain tee in the cold water inlet as close as practical to the water heater.

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.
