MINIMUM CLEARANCES

Failure to adhere to these installation and operating instructions may
create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the warranty.
Do not solder plumbing joints directly above the flue. Solder may fall down
the flue and cause damage to combustion components.
This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and
adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this water
heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or non-
combustible floor. If the water heater is to be installed directly on carpeting, it
shall be installed on top of a metal or wood panel (or equivalent) extending
beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches
(7.6 cm) in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or
closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. If the rating plate or the
label on the front of the water heater specifies minimum clearances less
than those listed in the below table, the water heater may be installed in
accordance with the minimum clearances listed on the rating plate or the
label on the front of the water heater.
If it is necessary to install this water heater in an alcove, use the clearances
listed in Figure 1.
