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 telephone in another building.
•
Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier or
plumbing professional for more information.
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and will
remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements, crawl spaces,
closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for
accumulation of leaking gas. Before lighting, smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
•
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in
your building.
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another
building. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS
CORRECTED!

1. LOCATE so that venting connections will be short and direct.
2. THIS WATER HEATER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ON COMBUSTIBLE
FLOOR.
DO NOT
install this water heater on carpeting.
3. FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide a solid level elevated base
such as concrete.
4. Minimum clearance to combustible material is 0" for the Top, Sides
and Rear of this water heater. However, it is recommended that
at
least 18" from the Top, 24" from the Front, and 4" for the
Sides and Rear of the water heater be provided for servicing.

to combustible material, but service time and effort may be greatly
increased.
LOCATION
KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS.
WARNING
This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the
tank, water line connections, or the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to
the water heater or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations
cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the
water heater. The drain pan depth must be suitable for draining and
collecting water, and have a minimum length and width of at least four
(4) inches
(10.0 cm)
measured from the jacket of the water heater.
The drain pan, as described above, can be purchased from your
plumbing professional. The drain pan must be piped to an adequate
drain. The piping must be at least ¾ inch
(2.0 cm)
in diameter and
pitched for proper drainage.
Figure 1 Minimum Clearance To Combustible
This water heater must be located in an area where the general public does
not have access to set temperatures.
