GENERAL INFORMATION
This gas-fired water heater's design is certified by CSA International under the
American National Standard Z21.10.1 - (as indicated on the rating plate) and
CSA 4.1-M - (as indicated on the rating plate).
This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition)
and/or in Canada CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes (Latest Editions). The
warranty for this water heater is in effect only when the water heater is
installed, adjusted, and operated in accordance with these Installation and
Operating Instructions. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage
resulting from alteration and/or failure to comply with these instructions.
This water heater is not design certified for installation in a mobile home. Such
an installation may create a hazardous condition and will nullify the warranty.
Incorrect operation of this appliance may create a hazard to
life and property and will nullify the warranty.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged in water. You should
contact a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system including the combination gas control which has
been submerged in water.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible,
or corrosive vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
IMPORTANT
Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and components for
possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is
evident then please contact the supplier where the water heater was
purchased or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement
parts.
Make sure that you check the rating plate and combination gas control on the
water heater to be certain that the type of gas being supplied corresponds with
the marking on the rating plate and combination gas control.
A sacrificial anode is used to extend tank life. The removal of this anode, for
any reason, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active,
an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the
sacrificial anode and the impurities in the water. If this should happen, an
alternative anode may be purchased from the supplier that installed this water
heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally, the
water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any
bacteria.

This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank or water line connections and the combination temperature and pressure relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan adequately piped for proper drainage must be installed under the water heater. -

Page 7: Combustion Air Supply
The capacity of the induced draft blower declines with increasing altitude due to a reduction in the air density. In order to assure safe and reliable performance of the water heater, the following guidelines must be followed. Refer to the venting tables below for maximum distances for the altitudes in your location. -
Page 8: Water Connections
The COLD water inlet and HOT water outlet are identified on the top of the water heater. The fittings at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet are dielectric waterway fittings with 3/4" NPT male thread.
