drink the first use of hot water from the unit 

in the morning.

Clean the filter on the water inlet as 

frequently as required by the quality of

Keep the area around the unit clean.

If boxes, weeds, cobwebs, cockroaches etc. are in 

the vicinity of the unit, damage or fire can result.

Do not install the unit where the exhaust will 

blow on walls or windows.

This unit is only approved for installation up 

to 4500 ft. (1350m) above sea level.

For installations at higher elevations, contact Noritz 

America for Instructions.

Check ignition during use and extinction 

after use.

If the water supply is in excess of 12 grains 

per  gallon  (200  mg/L)  of  hardness, acidic 

or  otherwise  impure,  treat  the  water  with 

approved methods in order  to  ensure  full 

warranty coverage.

Preventing damage from freezing ( p.19)

Damage can occur from frozen water within the 

device and pipes even in warm environments.  

Be sure to read below for appropriate measures.

Repairs for damage caused by freezing are not 

covered by the warranty.

Take necessary measures to prevent freezing 

of water and leakage of gas when leaving the

If it is snowing, check the exhaust vent 

terminal for blockage.

Do not disassemble the remote controller.

Do not use benzene, oil or fat detergents to

Do not get the remote controller wet.

Although it is water resistant, too much water can 

cause damage.
