Specification Created 5/20
GE40L08BAM01
LOCAL INSTALLATION REGULATIONS:
This water heater must be installed in accordance with
these instructions, local codes, utility codes, utility company
requirements or, in the absence of local codes, the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code. It is available from
some local libraries or can be purchased from the National
Fire Preventions Association, Batterymarch park, Quincy,
MA 02169 as booklet ANSI/NFPA 70.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION: For complete
information, see installation instruction packed with your
water heater.
POWER REQUIREMENTS: Check the markings on the
rating plate of the water heater to be certain the power
supply corresponds to the water heater requirements.
LOCATION : Locate the water heater in a clean dry area
as near as practical to the area of the greatest heated water
demand. Long uninsulated hot water lines can waste energy
and water.
REQUIRED CLEARANCES: There must be sufficient
clearance between any object and the top, rear and sides
of the water heater in the event service is needed. The
controls and drain at front of unit must have clear access
for operation and service. Installations that require
minimal clearance on the sides or rear of the water heater
for earthquake straps are also acceptable. In these cases,
additional clearance should be provided on the opposite
side of the unit to allow for service access
