SAFETY TIPS

BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
The instructions which are contained in this manual are classified into the following two types, which are
"WARNING" and "CAUTION". These instructions are intended to provide important information for safe
operation.
"WARNING" indicates the possibility of causing the user a fatal accident or serious injury if the water heater
is incorrectly operated.
"CAUTION" indicates the possibility of causing the user injuries or material damages if the water heater is
incorrectly operated.
WARNING
1. Never use any fuel other than water-clear kerosene (ASTM No. 1-K grade) or No.1 fuel oil. NEVER USE
GASOLINE! Use of such fuels can result in an explosion and/or fire and cause injury.
2. Never store flammable liquids or materials such as gasoline near the unit.
3. This unit should be installed by a licensed, authorized person(s) due to the necessity of making electri-
cal, water and fuel connections.
4. RISK OF BACKFIRE AND INDOOR AIR POLLUTION. Before operation make sure flue pipe is free of snow,
icing, leaves, bird's nest or strong drafts.
5. RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION AND FIRE. Be sure the exhaust pipe is properly installed and connect-
ed. Aluminum tape may be used for sealing exhaust pipe connections.
6. RISK OF INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Disconnect power cord before ser-
vicing unit.
7. This water heater is designed to be used no more than 6‚890 FT. (2‚100 m) above sea level. The water
heater may have a failure of combustion at a high altitude.
Ask your local dealer for using at altitudes higher than 4‚922 FT. (1‚500 m) ~ 6‚890 FT. (2‚100 m) above
sea level.
If the water heater is installed at an altitude of higher than 2‚953 FT. (900 m) above sea level, the exhaust
pipe or the air inlet hose shall not be elongated or connected with its extension pipe. The standard
installation only is allowed for installing the water heaer at such altitude.
CAUTION
1. HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY. Water heaters are intended to produce hot
water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sani-
tizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Before changing temperature setting
make sure nobody is using a shower. High temperature setting increases the risk of scald injury.
Temperature has been set at factory to about 130°F.
2. RISK OF SCALD INJURY. When using a shower, feel the temperature of the water with your hand before
getting under the water.
3. RISK OF SCALD INJURY. Do not touch hot water flowing from temperature and pressure relief valve.
4. RISK OF BURN INJURY. Do not touch flue pipe top and exhaust pipe. The insulated material provided
should be installed around the exhaust pipe. Due to high surface temperature, keep children away from
the unit.
