SAFETY INFORMATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
This water heater should be located as close as
possible to a chimney and to the main use of hot
water. This location must not be subject to freez-
ing temperatures. The water heater should be
positioned, so that there is easy access to the oil
burner, controls and drain valve. It must be located
close to a suitable free-flowing floor drain. Where
a floor drain is not adjacent to the water heater, a
suitable drain pan must be installed under the water
heater (see Figure 10). This drain pan should be
at least four (4) inches (10.2 cm) larger than the
diameter of the water heater, and at least one
(1) inch (2.5 cm) deep, providing access to the
drain valve. This pan must not restrict the flow of
ventilation and combustion air. This pan must be
piped to a suitable drain to prevent damage to
property in the event of a water leak from the piping,
the relief valve or the water heater.
Based on national building codes, the manufac-
turer has given the necessary instructions to
prevent damage to the building. Under no cir-
cumstances is the manufacturer to be held liable
for any water damage in connection with this
water heater.
This water heater can be installed in a storage or
residential garage if it is installed at least 18 inches
(460 mm) above floor level and protected against
physical damage.
This water heater is
NOT
approved for installation
on a combustible floor.
Minimum Clearances
The minimum clearances from combustible mate-
rial for this water heater are: Two (2) inches (5.1
cm) from the sides and rear, twenty-four (24) inches
(61.0 cm) from the front, eighteen (18) inches (45.7
cm) from the top, and nine (9) inches (22.9 cm) from
the vent pipe (eighteen (18) inches (45.7 cm) for
water heaters installed in the United States)
(see
Figure 1).
Combustion and Ventilation Air Supply
In order for the water heater to operate properly, it
must be supplied with an uninterrupted flow of clean
combustion and ventilation air. The area around the
water heater must always be kept clean and clear
of debris. An inadequate supply of air to the water
heater will produce a bright yellow burner flame caus-
ing sooting in the combustion chamber, on the burner,
and in the flue tube. This can result in damage to the
water heater and personal injury, if not corrected.
Combustion and ventilation air requirements are
determined by where the water heater is located.
Water heaters are installed in either open (uncon-
fined) spaces or smaller (confined) spaces, such as
closets or small rooms.
IMPORTANT
These instructions have been written as a guide for the proper installation and operation of your water heater and
the manufacturer of this water heater will not accept any liability where these instructions have not been followed.
However, for your safety and to avoid damage caused by improper installation, this water heater must be installed
by a Certified Licensed Professional and meet all local codes or, in the absence of such codes, the latest edition
of CAN/CSA B139, Installation for Oil Burning Equipment, in Canada, and/or the latest edition of Standard for the
Installation of Oil Burning Equipment, NFPA 31, in the United States. For Mobile Home installation in Canada, all
relevant Clauses of “CAN/CSA Z240MH – Manufactured Homes” must be followed. All models are CSA listed for use
with No.1 (stove) and No. 2 (furnace oil).
Before proceeding with the installation instructions:
1)
Inspect the water heater and its component parts for possible damage.
Do not
install or attempt to repair any damaged
component parts. If you detect any damage, contact the dealer where the water heater was purchased or the manufacturer
listed on the warranty card.
2)
Verify that the type of oil being supplied corresponds to what is marked on the rating plate of the water heater.
DO NOT
