combustible, or corrosive vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS!
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone.
Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

WARNING
Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage
or injury, do not store materials against the water heater or vent-
air intake system. Use proper care to avoid unnecessary contact
(especially by children) with the water heater and vent-air intake
components. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT
THINNER BE USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
WATER HEATER, VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OR IN ANY
LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE
WATER HEATER OR VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
CAUTION
If sweat fittings are to be used DO NOT apply heat to the nipples
on top of the water heater. Sweat the tubing to the adapter
before fitting the adapter to the water connections. It is
imperative that heat is not applied to the nipples containing a
plastic liner.
WARNING
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 the hot water faucet to be open for
several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical
appliance which is connected to the hot water system. If
hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound 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.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable,
combustible, or corrosive vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Before proceeding, please inspect the
water heater and its components for
possible damage. DO NOT install any
components. If damage is evident
then please contact the supplier where
the water heater was purchased or the
manufacturer listed on the rating plate
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE
NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas
have an odorant added by the gas supplier that aids in the
detection of the gas.
Most people recognize this odor as a "sulfur" or "rotten egg"
smell.
Other conditions, such as "odorant fade" can cause the
odorant to diminish in intensity, or "fade", and not be as
readily detectable.
If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in any way
unsure of the presence of gas, immediately contact your gas
supplier from a neighbor's telephone.
Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier, or plumbing
professional, for more information.
FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED ¾" X ¾"
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL RELEASE
THE MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM THAT MIGHT RESULT
FROM EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURES.
Turn off or disconnect the electrical power supply to the water heater
before servicing. Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
