PREPARING FOR THE NEW INSTALLATION
1. Read the “General Safety” section, page 3 of this manual
first and then the entire manual carefully. If you don’t follow
the safety rules, the water heater will not operate properly. It
could cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
This manual contains instructions for the installation,
operation, and maintenance of the gas-fired water heater. It
also contains warnings throughout the manual that you must
read and be aware of. All warnings and all instructions are
essential to the proper operation of the water heater and
your safety. Since we cannot put everything on the first few
pages,
READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO INSTALL OR OPERATE THE WATER HEATER.
2. The installation must conform with these instructions and
the local code authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of
local codes, installations shall comply with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. This publication is
available from the CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant
Valley Rd., Cleveland, Ohio 44131, or The National Fire
Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA

3. If after reading this manual you have any questions or do not
understand any portion of the instructions, call the local gas
utility or the manufacturer whose name appears on the rating
plate.
4. Carefully plan the place where you are going to put the water
heater. Correct combustion, vent action, and vent pipe
installation are very important in preventing death from
possible carbon monoxide poisoning and fires, see Figures
9 through 14.
Examine the location to ensure the water heater complies
with the
Locating the New Water Heater
section in this
manual.
5. For California installation this water heater must be braced,
anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an
earthquake. See instructions for correct installation
procedures. Instructions may be obtained from California
