Thank You

 for purchasing this water heater.  Properly installed and

maintained, it should give you years of trouble free service.

Abbreviations Found In This Instruction Manual:

• CSA - Canadian Standards Association

• ANSI - American National Standards Institute

• NFPA - National Fire Protection Association

• ASME - American Society of Mechanical Engineers

• GAMA - Gas Appliance Manufacturer’s Association

This gas-fired water heater is design certified by CSA INTERNATIONAL
under American National Standard/CSA Standard for Gas Water Heaters
ANSI Z21.10.1 • CSA 4.1 (current edition).

PREPARING FOR THE 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 Canadian
Standards Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Rd., Cleveland
Ohio 44131, or The National Fire Protection Association, 1
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

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 1 and 2.

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 Office of the State Architect, 400 P Street,
Sacramento, CA 95814.

6. Massachusetts Code requires this water heater to be installed in

accordance with Massachusetts 248-CMR 2.00: State Plumbing Code
and 248-CMR 5.00.

7. Complies with SCAQMD rule #1121 and districts having equivalent

NOx requirements.
