Important Information continued-
DANGER
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible, or
corrosive vapors and/or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electric switch; DO NOT use any telephone
in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another
building. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS
CORRECTED!
Liquefied petroleum gas/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain
at floor level if there is a leak. Basements, crawl spaces, closets, and
areas below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of
leaking gas.
This water heater is supplied with an adjustable thermostat to control
water temperature. Hot water temperatures required for automatic
dishwasher and laundry use can cause scald burns resulting in serious
personal injury and/or death. The temperature at which injury occurs
varies with the person’s age and the time of exposure. The slower
response time of disabled persons increases the hazards to them.
NEVER allow small children to use a hot water tap or to draw their own
bath water. NEVER leave a child or disabled person unattended in a
bathtub or shower.
To comply with NSF requirements this water heater is to be:
a) Sealed to the floor with sealant, in a smooth and easily
cleanable way, or
b) Installed with an optional leg kit that includes legs and/or
extensions that provide a minimum clearance of 6” beneath the
water heater.
