When this heater is installed directly on caepeting, carpeting
must be protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the
appliance extending beyond the full width, and depth if the
appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor
must be covered by the panel.
FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN FIRE
HAZARD.
Minimum clearances between the water heater and
combustible construction are 0” at the sides and rear, 6”
at the front, and 6” from the vent pipe. Clearance from the
top of the jacket is 12” on most models, refer to the label
attached adjacent to the gas control valve on the water
heater. When 12” top clearance is used, a minimum of 6”
must be provided between the pipe and the ceiling if an
elbow is used on the draft hood.
Figure 2: This may be used as reference guide to locate the specific clearance
locations. A minimum of 24 inches front clearance should provide for inspection
and serving.
RESIDENTIAL AREA WHICH MAY NOT BE SUITABLE
FOR HEATER INSTALLATION
would include those areas
where flammable liquids
(such as gasoline, solvents, liquified propane
or butane, etc.)
o
r other substances
(such as adhesive, etc.)
all of
which emit flammable vapors, may be improperly are stored
or used. Because of natural air movement in a room or other
enclosed space, flammable vapors can be carried some distance
from where their liquids are being used or stored.
The gas water heater hot surface pilot or main burner flame can
ignite such vapors. The resulting flash-back and fire can cause
death or serious burns to anyone in the area as well as property
damage.
Even though this water is flammable vectors
ignition resistant water heater and is designed to reduce
the chances of flammable vapors being ignited, gasoline and
other flammable sustances should never be stored or used
in the same vicinity or area containing or gas water heater
or other flammable or spark producing appliance.
Do not locate the water heater, near an air moving device.
The operation of air moving devices such as exhaust fans,
ventilation system, clothes dryers, fireplaces, etc., can affect
the proper operation of the water heater. Special attention
must be given to condition these devices may create. Low
reversal of flue gases may cause an increase of carbon
monoxide inside of the dwelling.
This water heater, like all gas appliances will perform better
if dirt and debris are prevented from accumulating on the
floor in front of the water heater where dust and lint can
be drawn into the burner.
A water heater cannot operate properly without the
correct amount of air for combustion. Do not install in
a confined area such as closet, unless you provide air as
shown in Figure 6. Never obstruct the flow of ventilation
air. If you have any doubts oe question at all, call your
gas supplier. Failure to provide the proper amount of
combustion air can result in a fire or explotion and cause
death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.
Follow all the local and state codes. Or, in the absence of
local and state codes, the “National Fuel Gas Code”, ANSI
Z223. 1 (NFPA 54)- latest edition to properly install the
system.
Failure to do so can result in death, solution, or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
