SAFE INSTALLATION, USE AND SERVICE

The proper installation, use and servicing of this water heater is extremely important to your safety and the safety of others.

Many safety-related messages and instructions have been provided in this manual and on your own water heater to warn you and others of a potential injury hazard. Read and obey all safety messages and instructions throughout this manual. It is very important that the meaning of each safety message is understood by you and others who install, use, or service this water heater.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in injury or death.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in injury or death.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage.

WARNING

CAUTION

CAUTION

DANGER

All safety messages will generally tell you about the type of hazard, what can happen if you do not follow the safety message, and how to avoid the risk of injury.

The California Safe Drinking Water 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 other reproductive harm. This appliance can cause low level exposure to some of the substances listed in the Act.

IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS

• Gas Supplier: The Natural Gas or Propane Utility or service who supplies gas for utilization by the gas burning appliances within this application. The gas supplier typically has responsibility for the inspection and code approval of gas piping up to and including the Natural Gas meter or Propane storage tank of a building. Many gas suppliers also offer service and inspection of appliances within the building.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Fire Hazard For continued protection against risk of f ire:

• Do not install water heater on carpeted floor.

• Do not operate water heater if any part has been exposed to flooding or water damage.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

at least 18" (45.7 cm) above the floor. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk

Improper installation, use and service may result in property damage.

• Do not operate water heater if any part has been exposed to flooding or water damage.

• Inspect anode rods regularly, replace if damaged.

• Install in location with drainage.

• Fill tank with water before operation.

• Properly sized thermal expansion tanks are required on all closed water systems.

Refer to this manual for installation and service.

CAUTION

Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas

• Install vent system in accordance with codes.

• Do not operate water heater if any part has been exposed to flooding or water damage.

• High altitude models should be installed at elevations above 5,300 feet (1,615 m). For operation above 10,100 feet (3,079 m), a high altitude orifice must be installed.

• Do not operate if soot buildup is present.

• Do NOT elevate any portion of the field supplied drain line beyond the 1/2” adaptor above the adaptor. This must be true for the entire length of the drain line including the exit into an appropriate drain.

• Condensate lines must be free and clear of debris and must not allow back flow through the hose.

The condensate lines must be able to flow freely to an appropriate drain.

• Do not obstruct water heater air intake with insulating jacket.

• Do not place chemical vapor emitting products near water heater.

• Do not allow condensate lines to become crimped closed.

• Analyze the entire vent system to make sure that condensate will not become trapped in a section of vent pipe and therefore reduce the open cross sectional area of the vent.

• Gas and carbon monoxide detectors are available.

• No vent damper installation is compatible with this power vented water heater.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or death. Always read and understand instruction manual.

Thank You for purchasing this water heater. Properly installed and maintained, it should give you years of trouble free service.

Installation and service of this water heater requires ability equivalent to that of a Qualified Agency (as defined by ANSI below) in the field involved. Installation skills such as plumbing, air supply, venting, gas supply and electrical supply are required in addition to electrical testing skills when performing service.

ANSI Z223.1 2006 Sec. 3.3.83: “Qualified Agency” - “Any individual, firm, corporation or company that either in person or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a) the installation, testing or replacement of gas piping or (b) the connection, installation, testing, repair or servicing of appliances and equipment; that is experienced in such work; that is familiar with all precautions required;

and that has complied with all the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.”

If you are not qualified (as defined by ANSI above) and licensed or certified as required by authority having jurisdiction to perform a given task do not attempt to perform any of the procedures described in this manual. If you do not understand the instructions given in this manual do not attempt to perform any procedures outlined in this manual.

PREPARING FOR THE INSTALLATION

1. Read “General Safety Information” section, page 3 and 4 of this manual first and then entire manual carefully. If you don’t follow safety rules, the water heater will not operate properly. It could cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

This manual contains instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance of the gas-fired water heater. It also contains warnings throughout the manual that you must read and be aware of. All warnings and all instructions are essential to proper operation of the water heater and your safety. Since we cannot put everything on the first few pages, READ ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING

TO INSTALL OR OPERATE THE WATER HEATER.

2. The installation must conform with these instructions and local code authority having jurisdiction. In absence of local codes, installation must comply with current editions of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or CAN/ CSA-B149.1, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. All documents are available from Canadian Standards Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131. NFPA documents are also available from National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

3. The water heater when installed must be grounded in accordance with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes: the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) or the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1).

4. If after reading this manual you have any questions or do not understand any portion of the instructions, call the local gas utility or the manufacturer whose name appears on the rating plate.

5. Carefully plan the place where you are going to put the water heater.

Correct combustion, vent action, and vent pipe installation are very important in preventing death from possible carbon monoxide poisoning and fires, see Figures 1 and 2.

Examine the location to ensure the water heater complies with the “Locating the New Water Heater” section in this manual.

6. For California installation this water heater must be braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an earthquake. See instructions for correct installation procedures.

Instructions may be obtained from California Office of the State Architect, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

7. Massachusetts Code requires this water heater to be installed in accordance with Massachusetts 248-CMR 2.00: State Plumbing Code and 248-CMR 5.00.

8. Complies with SCAQMD rule #1146 and districts having equivalent NOx requirements.
