THERMOMETERS (NOT SUPPLIED)
Thermometers should be obtained and field installed.
Thermometers are installed in the system as a means of
detecting the temperature of the outlet water supply.
This Water Heater has been design certified as
complying with
ANSI Z21.10.3-CSA 4.3
current edition for
water heaters and is considered suitable for:
•
Water (Potable) Heating and Space Heating*: All
models are considered suitable for water (potable)
heating and space heating.
*These water heaters cannot be used in space heating
applications only.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water.
Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space
heating, clothes washing, dish washing, and other
sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure
you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be
permanently injured by hot water than others. These
include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/
mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your
home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local
code requiring a certain temperature water at the hot
water tap, then you must take special precautions. In
addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting
that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a
*Mixing Valve should be used at the hot water taps used
by these people or at the water heater. See
Mixing valves are available at plumbing
supply or hardware stores. Consult a qualified installer
or service agency. Follow mixing valve manufacturer’s
instructions for installation of valves. Before changing
the factory setting on the thermostat, see
FACTS TO CONSIDER ABOUT THE LOCATION
Carefully choose an indoor location for the new water
heater, because the placement is a very important
consideration for the safety of the occupants in the
building and for the most economical use of the water
heater. This water heater is not for use in manufactured
(mobile) homes or outdoor installation.
Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the
water heater in a new location, the following critical points
must be observed:
1.
Select a location indoors as close as practical to the
gas vent or chimney to which the water heater vent
is going to be connected, and as centralized with the
water piping system as possible.
2.
Selected location must provide adequate clearances
for servicing and proper operation of the water heater.
Installation of water heater must be accomplished in
such a manner that if the tank or any connections should
leak, flow will not cause damage to the structure. For
this reason, it is not advisable to install water heater in
an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot be
avoided, a suitable metal drain pan should be installed
under the water heater. Metal Drain pans are available
at your local hardware store. Such a metal drain pan
must have a minimum length and width of at least 2” (51
mm) greater than water heater dimensions and must be
piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict
combustion air flow.
Water heater life depends upon water quality, water
pressure and the environment in which the water heater
is installed. Water heaters are sometimes installed in
locations where leakage may result in property damage,
even with the use of a drain pan piped to a drain.
However, unanticipated damage can be reduced or
prevented by a leak detector or water shut-off device
used in conjunction with a piped drain pan. These
devices are available from some plumbing supply
wholesalers and retailers, and detect and react to
leakage in various ways:
