3 Choosing an Installation Location
Locate the vent terminal and make sure there
are no obstacles around the termination for
exhaust to accumulate or be obstructed.
Do not enclose the termination with corrugated
metal or other materials.
Carbon monoxide poisoning or fire may occur
as a result.
DANGER
• Avoid places where fires are common,
such as those where gasoline, benzene and
adhesives are handled, or places in which
corrosive gases (ammonia, chlorine, sulfur,
ethylene compounds, acids) are present.
If you do not follow the above, a fire or
explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
• Avoid installation in places where dust or
debris will accumulate.
Dust may accumulate and reduce the
performance of the fan of the appliance.
This can result in incomplete combustion.
• Avoid installation in places where special
chemical agents (e.g. hair spray or spray
detergent) are used.
Ignition failures and malfunctions may occur
as a result.
• Do not install this Water Heater in a
recreational vehicle or on a boat as this may
be a Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard.
• The manufacturer does not recommend
installing the Water Heater in an attic due to
safety issues.
If you install the Water Heater in an attic:
- Make sure the appliance will have enough
combustion air and proper ventilation.
- Keep the area around the Water Heater
clean. Dust may accumulate and reduce the
performance of the fan of the appliance.
This can result in incomplete combustion.
- A drain pan, or other means of protection
against water damage, is required to be
installed under the Water Heater in case of
leaks.
WARNING
Do not install in the following places
• A location where it is not free from obstacles
and stagnant air.
• Near staircases or emergency exits.
• A place where it may be threatened by falling
objects, such as under shelves.
• On common walls as the appliance will make
some operational noises while it is running.
Consideration to the surroundings
• Do not install the Water Heater where the
exhaust will blow on outer walls, other
walls or material not resistant to heat. Also
consider the surrounding trees and animals.
The heat and moisture from the Water
Heater may cause discoloration of walls and
resinous materials, or corrosion of aluminum
materials.
• Do not locate the vent termination directed
towards a window or any other structure
which has glass or wired glass facing the
termination.
• Take care that noise and exhaust gas will not
affect neighbors.
• If the appliance is installed in a location with
very high humidity, condensate may form
inside the appliance and/or cause incomplete
combustion, damage to the electrical
components, or electric leakage.
Install according to regulations and manual
• Install the Water Heater in an area that allows
for the proper clearances to combustible
and non-combustible construction. Consult
the rating plate on the appliance for proper
clearances.
• The Water Heater must be installed according
to manual.
• Before installing, make sure that the exhaust
flue termination will have the proper
clearances according to the National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition) or the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code
(CSA B149.1).
