GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

When servicing this unit, verify the power to the unit is turned off prior to opening the control cabinet door.

PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT USE THIS WATER HEATER IF ANY PART HAS BEEN 

EXPOSED TO FLOODING OR WATER DAMAGE. Immediately call 

a qualified service technician to inspect the water heater and to 

replace any part of the control system which has been under water.
If the unit is exposed to the following, do not operate heater until all 

corrective steps have been made by a qualified service technician.
1.  External fire.

2.  Damage.

3.  Firing without water.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This  water  heater  must  be  grounded  in  accordance  with  the 

National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code and/or local 

codes. These must be followed in all cases. Failure to ground 

this water heater properly may also cause erratic control system 

operation on ELECTRONIC CONTROL models.
This water heater must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent 

wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with 

the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding 

terminal or lead on the water heater.

HYDROGEN GAS (FLAMMABLE)

Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this 

heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two 

weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable.

 

To reduce the 

risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot water 

faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any 

electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present 

there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the 

pipe as the water begins to flow. THERE SHOULD BE NO SMOKING 

OR OPEN FLAME NEAR THE FAUCET AT THE TIME IT IS OPEN.

Improper installation, use and service may result

in property damage.

• 

Do not operate water heater if any part has been exposed 

to flooding or water damage.

• 

Inspect anode rods regularly, replace if damaged.

• 

Install in location with drainage.

• 

Fill tank with water before operation.

• 

Properly sized thermal expansion tanks are required on all 

closed water systems.

Refer to this manual for installation and service.
