Heater placement and clearances
The water heater design is approved for installation on a
combustible wall (see chapter 4.5 Mounting installation)

Hanging appliance on the wall
WARNING:
Severe personal injury and property damage!
Before mounting appliance:
▶ Check that there are no loose or damaged parts inside the
appliance.
▶ Set the heater gas type according to the gas supplied to the
unit.
Front cover should be removed (see instructions on page 12) in
order to inspect components visually.
WARNING:
▶ Do not install this appliance on a carpeted wall. The heater
must be mounted on a wall using appropriate anchoring
materials.
NOTICE:
Risk of appliance freezing!
▶ In areas where outside temperature is routinely below 32°F
(0 °C) and the heater is to be installed on the inside of an
exterior wall, provide a minimum 2" air gap or rigid
insulation between the heater back and the wall.
If the wall is sheathed with plaster or drywall, it is
recommended that two support boards, either 1"x 4" or 1/2"
(minimum) plywood first be attached across a pair of studs, see
fig. 7.
▶ Secure the wall mounting bracket provided with the heater
to a wall surface. The heater must be kept level on the wall
surface, see fig. 8, page 18.
