Special Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System:
This water heater is equipped with a Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant
System. In the event of improper usage or storage of gasoline or other
flammable materials in the location where the water heater is installed, the
technology will resist ignition of the flammable vapors outside the confines of
the water heater.
The Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System features:

Advanced Flame Arrestor Design

Re-settable Thermal Switch/Intelligent Diagnostic Control to prevent
burner/pilot operation with restricted airflow

Flammable Vapor Sensor

Automatic Ignition Device

Sight Window to observe operation of pilot and burner
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Activation of the Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant
System occurs when flammable vapors are drawn into the water heater and
are combusted. If flammable vapors are detected:

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your
building.

Leave the premises and immediately call the fire department from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the fire department's instructions.
Once the flammable vapor has been evacuated, contact your plumbing
professional or the manufacturer for further instructions. Replacement of a
Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System equipped water heater due to a
flammable vapor shutdown is not covered under the terms of the limited
warranty.
CONGRATULATIONS!
