Installation; Locating The Water Heater - Bradford White RG275H6X-506 Manual

General Information continued-
Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and components for
possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is
evident then please contact the supplier where the water heater was
purchased, or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement
parts.
This water heater has been manufactured for operation at altitudes from sea
level to 2000 feet (610m). For use of this appliance at an elevation greater
than 2000 feet (610m), contact the dealer or manufacturer listed on the rating
plate for information on any necessary modification. Uncorrected operation of
this appliance may create a hazard to life and property.
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.
