qualified installer or service technician in accordance with these
instructions. Installation must conform with local codes, or in
their absence, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1. Failure to follow instructions could result
in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for this conversion.
CAUTION: The water heater is factory set to burn natural
gas, but can be converted to burn LP gas. Before placing the
water heater into operation, verify that the type of gas supplied
to your water heater and the type of gas your water heater is set
to burn are the same. If they are not, refer to these instructions.
NOTICE:
The parts required to make this conversion are
supplied in a bag attached to the water heater. Should your
heater not have this bag attached to the water heater, a
replacement can be obtained. Simply contact the manufacturer at
