Installation continued-
DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could be subjected
to freezing temperatures. Locate the water heater so that access
panels and drain valves are accessible.
This water heater MUST be installed indoors. Failure to install this
water heater indoors and protected from wind and weather will void the
warranty. Water heater must be installed in vertical position with the
water fittings pointing upward.
Water heater must be positioned on the appropriate surface. NOTE:
Take into consideration also the filled weight of the water heater
Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating
and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical
compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning
solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool
chemicals, calcium or sodium chloride, waxes, and process chemicals.
These materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no
odor to reveal their presence. NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WATER HEATER
CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED
BY THE WARRANTY. DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF
EXPOSURE HAS OR WILL OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY
POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE
WATER HEATER.
This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank or
water line connections and the combination temperature and pressure relief
valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to
lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a
suitable drain pan must be installed under the water heater. The drain pan
must have a minimum length and width of at least 4 in. (10.2 cm) greater
than the water heater. The drain pan, as described above, can be purchased
from your plumbing professional. The drain pan must be piped to an
adequate drain. The piping must be pitched for proper drainage.
