Installation Instructions
4.
Choosing Installation Site
* Locate the appliance in an area where water leakage from the unit or connections will not result in
damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the lower floors of the structure. When such
locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be
installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
DANGER
• Avoid places where fires are common, such as those where petrol,
benzene and adhesives are handled, or places in which corrosive gases
(ammonia, chlorine, sulfur, ethylene compounds, acids) are present.
May result in fire.
• Avoid installation in places where dust or debris will accumulate.
Dust may block the air-supply opening, causing the performance of the
device fan to drop and incomplete combustion to occur as a result.
• Avoid installation in places where special chemical agents
(e.g., hair spray or spray detergent) are used.
Ignition failures and malfunction may occur as a result.
• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard. Do not install this water heater in a
mobile home, recreation vehicle or on a boat.
WARNING
• Install the exhaust vent so that there are no obstacles around the termination and so that exhaust
can't accumulate. Do not enclose the termination with corrugated metal or other materials.
