WARNING

 

It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are 
operating properly when the installation is complete. 
 
DO NOT operate the water heater with jumpered or absent controls or safety devices. 
 
DO NOT tamper with or alter the water heater and/or controls. 
 
DO NOT operate the water heater if any external part or control has been submerged in water.  Immediately 
call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system that 
was under water. 

 

This water heater is suitable for installation on combustible flooring.  DO NOT install this water heater on 
carpeting. 

 

DO NOT operate this water heater without first being certain it is filled with water. 

Flammable items, pressurized containers, or any other potential fire hazardous articles must never be placed 
on or adjacent to the heater.  Containers of flammable gases should not be stored or used in the same room 
with this water heater. 

 

Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has not had water drawn from the tank for 
a long period of time (generally two weeks or more).  Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable.  To prevent the 
possibility of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that a water faucet be opened for several 
minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance that is connected to the hot water system.  
If hydrogen is present, there will be unusual sounds such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water 
begins to flow.  Do not smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the time it is open. 

 

CAUTION

 

The maximum supply temperature from the solar collector must not exceed 250°F (121°C).
