Please read before proceeding

Installer – 

Read all instructions, in this 

manual before installing.  Perform steps in 
the order given.

Have this water heater serviced/inspected 
by a qualified service technician, at least 
annually.

Failure to comply with the above could result 
in severe personal injury, death or substantial 
property damage.

Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this 
page can result in severe personal injury, 
death, or substantial property damage.

Water heater operation –

• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to 
  the water heater.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off, 
  do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to 
  circulator.  Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location 
  external to the appliance.
• Do not use this water heater if any part has been under 
  water. The possible damage to a flooded appliance can 
  be extensive and present numerous safety hazards.  Any 
  appliance that has been under water must be replaced.

When calling or writing about the water 
heater – Please have the water heater model 
and serial number from the water heater 
rating plate.

Consider piping and installation when 
determining water heater location.

Any claims for damage or shortage in 
shipment must be filed immediately against 
the transportation company by the consignee.

Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does 
not apply to units improperly installed or 
improperly operated.

 WARNING

 NOTICE

 WARNING

 WARNING

Upon receiving equipment, check for signs of shipping 
damage. Pay particular attention to parts accompanying the 
appliance which may show signs of being hit or otherwise being 
mishandled. Verify total number of pieces shown on packing 
slip with those actually received.  In case there is damage or a 
shortage, immediately notify carrier.

Experience has shown that improper installation or system 
design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of most 
operating problems.
1.  Excessive water hardness causing a lime build-up in the 
  copper tube is not the fault of the equipment and is 
 

not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty (see Water 

 

Treatment and Water Chemistry).

2.  Excessive pitting and erosion on the inside of the copper tube 
 

may be caused by too much water velocity through the tubes 

 

and is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

 WARNING

To minimize the possibility of serious 
personal injury, fire or damage to your 
appliance, never violate the following 
safety rules.

1.  Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid 

damage or injury, do not store materials against the 
appliance or the vent-air intake system. Use proper 
care to avoid unnecessary contact (especially children) 
with the appliance and vent-air intake components.

2.  Never cover your appliance, lean anything against it, 

store trash or debris near it, stand on it or in any way 
block the flow of fresh air to your ap pli ance.

3.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES must flammable 

materials such as gasoline or paint thinner be used or 
stored in the vicinity of this appliance, vent-air intake 
system or any location from which fumes could reach 
the appliance or vent-air intake system.

 

Installation & Service Manual

When servicing the water heater –

• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply 
  before performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow the water heater to cool 
  before performing maintenance.

 WARNING

and Toxic Enforcement Act requires 
the Governor of California to publish a 
list of substances known to the State of 
California to cause cancer, birth defects, 
or other reproductive harm, and requires 
businesses to warn of potential exposure to 
such substances.
This product contains a chemical known to 
the State of California to cause cancer, birth 
defects, or orther reproductive harm.  This 
boiler can cause low level exposure to some 
of the substances listed in the Act.
