This water heater is for
INDOOR
installation ONLY!
Make sure before installation that the gas type you will
use is the same type on the data plate.
The water heater should be installed by professionals
from your local gas company. Please don’t attempt
installation by yourself. Improper installation may
cause failure or dangerous conditions such as gas
leaking or explosion.
This water heater is an
INDOOR
model and
must be mounted on a vertical wall. It must
not be installed outdoors or in a confined space. The
water heater should be installed close to the most
frequently used outlet and its position chosen with
safety and service in mind.
Make sure people (particularly children, disabled, and
elderly) will not touch the hot water outlet or the flue
terminal. The flue terminal and air inlet must be clear
of obstruction and shrubbery.
If installed in a public corridor, please assure that the
surrounding area is free of debris, obstruction and
flammable materials.
The water heater must be installed on a fire retardant
area, and must be away from all flammable materials.
Clearance should be 1.75 ft to the left and right side of
flammable materials, and 6.75 ft to the front.
The water heater should be installed in open area
where strong currents are not prevalent
This water heater is of high power and will consume a
lot of oxygen when working, so the installation area
must be well ventilated, and air in and out of the area
has no blockage.
The
INDOOR
water heater should not be installed in a
corridor with rooms on the both sides or in the closed
corridor.
Take measures to avoid direct wind, rain and snow. The
installation area should be constructed of fire
retardant materials. The power socket connecting the
water heater should be properly grounded. The water
heater must be located so it is not subject to physical
damage, for example, by moving vehicles, area
flooding, etc.
The water heater must be installed vertically with the
water, gas, and power connections on the underside,
pointing toward the ground.
