2- SELECTING A LOCATION TO INSTALL
This product is designed to be installed indoors under a sink.
DO NOT install this product in a location where it may be subjected to freezing temperatures. If the water
inside your tankless water heater freezes, it can cause severe and permanent damage that is not covered
under your warranty.
DO NOT locate the water heater in a location that is difficult to access.
Make sure that the water heater and hot water outlet pipe are out of reach of children so they are unable to
tamper with the temperature controls or injure themselves by touching the hot water outlet pipe. The outlet
water pipe can get very hot.
This product does NOT require venting.
DO NOT install under water pipes or air conditioning lines that might leak or condense moisture that could
then drip onto the heater. Avoid installing your tankless water heater in a location prone to excessive humidity,
moisture, or dust, or in an area where it may be splashed with water or other liquids.
DO NOT install above electrical boxes or junctions.
CAUTION The water heater should not be located in an area where leakage will result in damage to the
area adjacent to it or to lower floors of the structure. Where such areas cannot be avoided, it is recommended
that a suitable catch pan, adequately drained, be installed under the water heater. Make sure to follow all code
requirements for such installations as required for your area. We recommend that you install a drip pan
(connected to a safe drain) below the water heater to avoid property damage in the unlikely event of a leak.
