Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-
Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating
and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical
compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning
solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool
chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals. These
materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no odor to
reveal their presence.
NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WATER HEATER CAUSED
BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY. DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF EXPOSURE
HAS OR WILL OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE
COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE WATER HEATER.
For exact venting specifications, please consult the Venting section of these
Installation and Operating Instructions.
It is recommended that a minimum
clearance of 4 inches (10.2 cm) be provided on the side of the water heater for
servicing and maintenance of the combination temperature and pressure relief
valve.
WARNING
Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or
injury there must be no materials stored against the water heater or
vent-air intake system and proper care must be taken to avoid
unnecessary contact (especially by children) with the water heater and
vent-air intake components. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT
THINNER BE USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER
HEATER, VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OR IN ANY LOCATION FROM
WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER HEATER OR VENT-
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE
NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
• Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas have an
odorant added by the gas supplier that aids in detection of the gas.
• Most people recognize this odor as a “sulfur” or “rotten egg” smell.
• Other conditions, such as “odorant fade” can cause the odorant to
diminish in intensity, or “fade”, and not be as readily detectable.
• If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in any way unsure of
the presence of gas, immediately contact your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s telephone.
• Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier or plumbing
professional for more information.
