This water heater must be installed by a licensed plumber, licensed
gas fitter, and/or professional service technician. Improper
installation and/or operation can cause a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
death, and will void the warranty.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every circumstance that
might involve a potential hazard. Each installation has its own
specialized characteristics, requirements, and possible hazards.
Therefore, all possible incidents are not included in these
warnings. Proper and safe installation, operation, and service are
the responsibility of the professional service technician.
Proper care of the water heater is the user’s responsibility. Ensure
the user carefully reads and understands the User’s Information
Manual before operating and maintaining the water heater.
Make sure the user knows the location of the gas shut-off valve
and how to operate it. Immediately close the gas shut-off valve if
the water heater is subjected to fire, overheating, flood, physical
damage, or any other damaging condition that might affect the
operation of the unit. Have the water heater checked by a qualified
technician before resuming operation.
Do not power up the unit unless the gas and water supply valves
are fully opened. Make sure the fresh air intake ports and exhaust
gas port are open and functional.

This water heater is certified for outdoor installations only. The
water heater consists of gas ignition system components which
must be protected from water (dripping, spraying, etc.) during

immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.
This water heater provides a overheat shutdown limit. In the event
the water heater water exceeds the set point of the control limit, the
cutoff will trip and the water heater will shut down. Certain local
codes require additional temperature limits. In addition, certain

set point of the limit provided with the water heater. Contact the
manufacturer for additional overheat controls.

a potential gas leakage causing a fire and/or explosion, or the
release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful particulates into the
air. Operating a previously submerged water heater could result in
