Page 8: Minimum Clearances
Minimum Clearances WARNING Failure to adhere to these installation and operating instructions may create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the warranty. This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this water heater. -
Page 9: Venting
Venting WARNING The venting system must be installed properly following all local codes or in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1- latest edition), or in Canada, The Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (B149.1-00 latest edition). -
Page 10: Combustion Air Supply
Combustion Air Supply WARNING Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas are 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. -
Page 11: Water Connections
Combustion Air Supply cont.- All Air from Outdoors: Provide two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 in (30 cm) of the top and one commencing within 12 in (30 cm) from the bottom of the enclosure. The openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors. - Page 12 Installation (Water Connections) continued- If this water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as the one having a back-flow preventer in the cold-water supply, provisions shall be made to control thermal expansion. DO NOT operate this water heater in a closed system without provisions for controlling thermal expansion.

Page 13: Gas Connections
Installation (Water Connections) continued- WARNING Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet to be open for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance, which is connected to the hot water system. - Page 14 Gas Connections cont.- Connect this water heater only to the type of gas (Natural or Propane) as shown on the rating plate. Use clean black iron pipe or equivalent material approved by local codes and ordinances (dirt and scale from the pipe can enter the gas valve and cause it to malfunction).
