Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-
The location of this water heater is of the utmost importance. Before installing
this water heater, read the installation section of these instructions. After
reading these installation and operating instructions, select a location for the
water heater where the floor is level and is easily accessible to gas and water
supply lines. DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could be
subjected to freezing temperatures. Make sure the cold water pipes are
not located directly above the gas control so that condensate during
humid weather does not drip on the controls.
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 and 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.
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gases 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. Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
•
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in
your building.
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
telephone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS
CORRECTED!
