WARNING
Do not locate the water heater where exposed to prevailing winds.
Moisture will be produced by the exhaust vent. Take precautions when determining water heater location.
Moisture may fall from the vent termination to the ground and turn to ice in freezing conditions. Moisture or
ice can produce a hazardous condition.
Exhaust condensate is acidic and could deteriorate the surface below the exhaust vent termination.
Ensure this surface is in good repair (sealed, painted, etc.) to prevent deterioration. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in substantial property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Prevent Combustion Air Contamination
Do not install the outdoor water heater in locations that
can allow contamination of fresh intake air.
