INSTALLATION
The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage or defect caused by installation, or
attachment, or use of any special attachment other than those authorized by the manufacturer
into, onto, or in conjunction with the water heater. The use of such unauthorized devices may
shorten the life of the boiler and may endanger life and property. The manufacturer disclaims any
responsibility for such loss or injury resulting from the use of such unauthorized devices
LOCATION
The electric boiler should be installed in a clean,
dry location. Long hot water lines should be
insulated to conserve water and energy. The
electric boiler and water lines should be
protected from exposure to freezing
temperature.
The electric boiler must be located or protected
so as not to be subject to physical damage, for
example, by moving vehicles, area flooding, etc.
The electric boiler should not be located in
an area where leakage of the tank or water
connections will result in damage to the
adjacent area or to lower floors of the
structure. When such areas cannot be
avoided, a suitable drain pan or non-
flammable catch pan, adequately drained,
and must be installed under the boiler.
The pan must be connected to a drain.
NOTE: Auxiliary catch pan MUST conform to
local codes.
The boiler can be mounted directly on a wall
with adequate screws. Make sure it is properly
leveled.
All models in alcoves. The ambient temperature
must not exceed 90F
The electric boiler should not be located near an
air vent blowing a corrosive atmosphere or high
humidity. The limited warranty is void when the
failure of the electric boiler is due to a corrosive
atmosphere.
The choice of the mounting position of the boiler
shall be made in relation with the required
clearances shown below and the fact that the
electric element compartment of the boiler
needs clearance to allow their replacement.
