INSTALLATION
• SECTION 3
UNPACKING
INSPECT SHIPMENT CAREFULLY FOR ANY SIGNS
OF DAMAGE
1. All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected
and packed.
2. Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must
be filed immediately with Andrews Water Heaters as
detailed on the warranty card.
LOCATION
Locate water heater in front of final position before
removing crate.
1. LOCATE so the flue installation connections will be as
short and direct as possible
2. THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR
INSTALLATION ON A COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Do
not install this water heater on carpeting.
3. FOR EVERY INSTALLATION, provide a solid level
elevated base such as concrete or other suitable pad
to raise the water heater at least 150mm to provide a
slope for the condensate waste to run to a suitable
drain.
4. Minimum clearance to combustible material is 0” for
the Top, Sides and Rear of this water heater.
However, it is recommended that at least 450mm
from the Top, 600mm from the Front, 100mm from
the Left Side and Rear, and 500mm from the Right
Side edge of the water heater be provided for
servicing and ease of installation. See Section 2,
page 5 for diagram. Clearance for servicing may be
reduced down to minimum clearance to combustible
material, but service time and effort may be greatly
increased.
REMOVE CRATE
1. Remove all banding and pry off crate sides carefully
so as not to damage the water heater.
2. Carefully roll/lift the water heater from the crate base.
MOVE WATER HEATER TO PERMANENT POSITION
by sliding or walking. Place on plinth/base as detailed
previously.
LOCATION
KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PETROL AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPOURS AND LIQUIDS.
This water heater MUST be installed indoors.
This water heater MUST be located in an area where the
general public does not have access.
CHEMICAL VAPOUR CORROSION
Corrosion of the internal flue ways and concentric flue
system will occur if air for combustion contains certain
chemical vapours. Such corrosion may result in poor
combustion and create a risk of asphyxiation, as well as
reducing the life of the water heater. Spray can
propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air
conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals,
calcium and sodium chloride, waxes and process
chemicals are corrosive. Products of this sort should not
be stored near the water heater or outside by the air
intake (if applicable).
SCALDING
This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water
at any outlet in the system. Be careful whenever using hot
water to avoid scalding injury. To protect against injury,
you should install approved mixing valves in the water
system. This valve will reduce point of discharge
temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch
supply lines. Such valves are available from your local
plumbing supplier.
CAUTION
Do not drop water heater. Do not bump water
heater jacket against floor.
Do not bump exhaust flue pipe against crate or
other objects. This will damage the heater and
cause it to be inoperable or create nuisance
problems.
