IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
California Law requires that residential water heaters must be braced, anchored
or strapped to resist falling or horizontal displacement due to earthquake
motions. For residential water heaters up to 52 gallon capacity, a brochure with
generic earthquake bracing instructions can be obtained from: Office of the State
Architect, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 or you may call 916-445-8100 or
ask a water heater dealer.
However, applicable local codes shall govern installation. For residential water
heaters of a capacity greater than 52 gallons or tankless style, consult the local
building jurisdiction code for acceptable bracing procedures.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut-off valve and how to shut
it off if necessary. Turn off the manual shut-off valve if the water heater has been
subjected to overheating, fire, flood, physical damage or if the gas supply fails to
shut off.
• Read this manual entirely before installing or operating the water heater.

Use and Care Manual.
• Be sure your water heater is properly installed in accordance with local codes
