CAUTION
The maximum boiler water supply temperature to the indirect
heat exchanger must not exceed 240°F (115°C).
Improper water quality will reduce the expected life of the water
heater. Hard water, sediment, high or low PH and high levels of
chlorides in the domestic water should be avoided. Be sure that
PH value falls between 6 and 8 and dissolved chlorides are less
than 100 ppm. A filter must be used where sediment that is
greater than 5 microns in size is present in the water. A water
softening system is recommended for areas with hard water. In
areas where water quality is unknown, a qualified water
treatment expert should be consulted.
NOTICE: Damage to tanks caused by improper water quality is
not covered under warranty.
NOTICE
Insulation blankets are not required for this water heater. This water
heater meets or exceeds the ASHRAE/IES 90.1b standards with
respect to insulation and standby loss requirements.
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.
