GENERAL INFORMATION

This gas-fired water heater’s design is certified by CSA International under the

American National Standard Z21.10.1 

- (as indicated on the rating plate) and

CSA 4.1-M

 - (as indicated on the rating plate).

This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, the 

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z22

3.1

-Latest Edition)

and/or in Canada 

CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes

 (Latest Editions). The

warranty for this water heater is in effect only when the water heater is

installed, adjusted, and operated in accordance with these Installation and

Operating Instructions. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage
resulting from alteration and/or failure to comply with these instructions.

This water heater is not design certified for installation in a mobile home. Such
an installation may create a hazardous condition and will nullify the warranty.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged in water. You should

contact a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system including the combination gas control which has

been submerged in water.

Make sure that you check the rating plate and combination gas control on the
water heater to be certain that the type of gas being supplied corresponds with

the marking on the rating plate and combination gas control.

A sacrificial anode is used to extend tank life. The removal of this anode, for

any reason, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active,

an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the
sacrificial anode and the impurities in the water. If this should happen, an

alternative anode may be purchased from the supplier that installed this water

heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally, the
water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any

bacteria.
