Flammable Vapors
FLAMMABLES
Keep flammable products:
1.
Far away from heater.
2.
In approved containers.
3.
Tightly closed and out of reach of children.
4.
Water heater has a main burner, which may
come on at any time and will ignite flammable
vapors.
1.
Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns instantly or death from
scalds.
2.
Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
3.
Feel water before bathing or showering.
4.
Temperature limiting valves are available. See manual.
5.
To reduce the risk of scalding, install Thermostatic Mixing Valves (temperature limiting valves) at each
point of use.
6.
The outlet temperature of the water heater is set at 120°F (50°C). If you require water temperatures
below this setting, follow the instruction manual.
7.
Use this heater at your own risk. Test the water before bathing or showering. Do not leave children or
an infirm person unsupervised. See your local water supply company [plumbing hardware retailer] for
temperature limiting valves that are available.
A pressure relief valve listed as complying with the standard for Relief Valve and Automatic Gas Shutoff
Devices for Hot Water Supply System, ANSI Z21.22 ・ CSA 4.4, shall be installed at the time of installation of
the water heater in the location specified by the manufacturer. Local codes shall govern the installation of
relief devices for safety operation of the water heater. The relief valve must not be removed or plugged.
No valve shall be placed between the relief valve and the water heater. The relief from the discharge of
the pressure relief valve shall be disposed of in a suitable place where it will cause no damage. Also, there
shall be no other reducing coupling or other restrictions installed on the discharge line to restrict flow.
See Installation Manual heading "PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES" for installation and maintenance of relief
valve discharge line and other safety precautions.
DANGER
Do not install water heater where flammable products will be stored or
used unless the main burner is at least 18" above the floor. This
will reduce, but not eliminate the risk of vapors being ignited by the
main burner.
Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions. If the owner's
manual is missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
