General Information continued-
This water heater must not be used as a source of construction heat or
during the construction phase of any building.
Make sure that you check the rating plate and combination gas control on the
water heater to be certain that the type of gas being supplied corresponds with
the marking on the rating plate and combination gas control.
A sacrificial anode(s) is used to extend tank life. Removal of any anode, except
for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water
is unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction
between the sacrificial anode and impurities in the water. If this should happen,
an alternative anode(s) may be purchased from the supplier that installed this
water heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally,
the water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any
bacteria.
This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.
