SAFETY BEHAVIORS
• Before operating, smell all around the appliance area for gas.
Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the floor.
• Keep the area around the appliance clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
• Combustible construction refers to adjacent walls and ceiling
and should not be confused with combustible or flammable
products and materials. Combustible and/or flammable prod-
ucts and materials should never be stored in the vicinity of this
or any gas appliance.
• Always check the water temperature before entering a shower
or bath.
• To protect yourself from harm, before performing maintenance:
* Turn off the electrical power supply by unplugging the
power cord or by turning off the electricity at the circuit
breaker. (The temperature controller does not control
the electrical power.)
* Turn off the gas at the manual gas valve, usually located
immediately below the water heater.
* Turn off the incoming water supply. This can be done at
the isolation valve immediately below the water heater
or by turning off the water supply to the building.
• BURN HAZARD. Hot exhaust and vent may cause serious
burns. Keep away from the water heater unit. Keep children and
animals away from the unit.
