Choosing Installation Site
* Locate the appliance in an area where leakage from the unit or connections will not result in damage
to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the lower floors of the structure. When such locations
cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed
under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
• Do not install the fence or the obstacle around the flue terminal.
It will cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
• The water heater is designed for internal installation only.
Never install it outdoors or in a bathroom, it may be dam-
aged or a fire may be caused.
• Consult with the customer concerning the location of installation.
• Avoid places where fires are common, such as those where petrol,
benzene and adhesives are handled, or places in which corrosive
gases (ammonia, chlorine, sulfur, ethylene compounds, acids) are
present.
This may cause incomplete combustion or failures.
• Locate the flue terminal so that there are no obstacles around the
termination and so that exhaust can't accumulate. Do not enclose the
termination with corrugated metal or other materials.
• Install the water heater in an area that allows for the proper clear-
ances to combustible and noncombustible construction.
• Do not install the water heater in a place where it may be threatened
by falling objects, such as under shelves.
• The water heater must be installed in a place where supply and
exhaust pipes can be installed as directed.
