General Information continued- 

 

 
Our products incorporate components that are both environmentally safe and 
harmless to health, so they can be disassembled as easily as possible and 
recycled once they reach their final life stage. Recycling of materials reduces 
the quantity of waste and the need for production of raw materials (e.g. 
metals) which requires a substantial amount of energy and causes release of 
harmful substances. Recycling procedures reduce the consumption of 
natural resources, as the waste parts made of plastic and metal can be 
returned to various production processes. For more information on waste 
disposal, please visit your waste collection center or the store where the 
product was purchased. 

 

INSTALLATION

 

Locating the Water Heater 

 

This water heater MUST be installed indoors out of the wind and 
weather. 

 

This water heater shall NOT be installed in any location where gasoline 
or flammable vapors are likely to be present, unless the installation is 
such to eliminate the probable ignition of gasoline or flammable 
vapors.

 

 

The location of this water heater is of the utmost importance. Before 
installing the water heater, select a location that is accessible to water supply 
lines and the power supply. It is recommended that the water heater be 
located near the center of greatest hot water usage to prevent heat loss 
through the pipes.     
 

IMPORTANT 

Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and its components for 
possible damage.    DO NOT install any damaged components.    If damage 
is evident, please contact the supplier where the water heater was 
purchased, or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement 
parts. 

 

WARNING 

Water heaters are heat producing appliances.    To avoid damage 
or injury, there shall be no materials stored against the water 
heater and proper care shall be taken to avoid unnecessary 
contact (especially by children) with the water heater.    UNDER NO 
CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS 
GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE USED OR STORED IN THE 
VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER OR ANY LOCATION FROM 
WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER HEATER.
