submerged. Operating a previously submerged water heater
could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
NOTE:
Water heater damage due to flood or submersion is
considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product
warranty.
High heat sources (sources generating heat 100
o
F / 37
o
C or
greater, such as stove pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage
plastic components of the water heater as well as plastic vent
pipe materials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is
recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high heat
sources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well
as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations
and ordinances when installing this water heater and related
components near high heat sources.
Using this water heater for anything other than its intended
purpose (as described in this manual) will void product warranty

A. When Servicing the Water Heating System
NOTE:
When inquiring about service or troubleshooting, reference
the model and serial numbers from the water heater rating label.
To avoid severe burns, allow water heater and associated equipment
to cool before servicing.
B. Heater Water
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in a water
heating system. Gaskets and seals in the system may be damaged. This
can result in substantial property damage.
Do not use “homemade cures” or “patent medicines”. Damage to the
water heater, substantial property damage, and/or serious personal
injury may result.
C. Freeze Protection
NOTE:
Consider piping and installation when determining heater
location. Failure of the water heater due to freeze related damage IS
NOT covered by product warranty.
NEVER use any toxic chemical, including automotive, standard
glycol antifreeze, or ethylene glycol made for hydronic (non-
potable) systems. These chemicals can attack gaskets and seals in
water systems, are poisonous if consumed, and can cause personal
injury or death.
NOTE:
Obey all local codes. Obtain all applicable permits before
installing the water heater.
NOTE:
Install all system components and piping in such a manner
that does not reduce the performance of any fire rated assembly.
