WARNING
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all
controls are correctly installed and are operating properly
when the installation is complete.
DO NOT operate the water heater with jumpered or absent
controls or safety devices.
DO NOT tamper with or alter the water heater and/or controls.
DO NOT operate the water heater if any external part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control
system that was under water.
This water heater is suitable for installation on combustible
flooring. DO NOT install this water heater on carpeting.
DO NOT operate this water heater without first being certain it
is filled with water.
Flammable items, pressurized containers, or any other
potential fire hazardous articles must never be placed on or
adjacent to the heater. Containers of flammable gases should
not be stored or used in the same room with this water heater.
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 that the water faucet be
opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use
any electrical appliance that is connected to the hot water
system. If hydrogen is present, there will be unusual sounds
such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to
flow. Do not smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the
time it is open.
