fi

 ed by the Canadian Gas

the nearest drain.

This warranty shall apply only when the heater is:

•  installed for indoor operation only;
•  used at temperatures not exceeding the maximum

calibrated setting of its thermostat;

•  used at water pressure not exceeding the working

pressure shown on the heater;

 lled with potable water, free to circulate at all times and 

with the tank free of damaging water sediment or scale
deposits;

atmosphere;

•  used with factory approved anode(s) installed;
•  in its original installation location;
•  in the United States, its territories or possessions, and

ing but not limited to, the attachment of non-company 
approved appliances or equipment.

Any accident to the water heater or any part thereof (includ-
ing freezing, 

fi

 re, 

fl

 oods, or lightning), any misuse, abuse or 

alteration of it, any operation of it in a modi

fi

 ed form, any 

operation of the water heater on desalinated (deionized) 
water, or any damage caused by attempts to repair tank 
leaks or parts, will void this warranty.  This warranty does 
not cover water heaters replaced for cosmetic reasons or for 
reasons of noise, taste, odor, discolored and/or rusty water.  
This warranty does not apply to water heaters used to heat 
pools, whirlpools or hot tubs or used for space heating where

remainder of the affected provision or the other provisions of 
this warranty.
