To the Installer:
Please attach these instructions
next to the water heater.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause serious injury
or property damage. Refer to this manual. For
assistance or additional information, consult a
qualified installer or service agency.
WARNING
If the information in these instructions is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or
death.
WARNING
Install in accordance with all local codes.
In the absence of local codes, refer to ANSI
223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1.
CAUTION
The recommended temperature for normal
residential use is 120°F. The dial on the aquastat
does not always reflect the out-coming water
temperature and it could occasionally exceed
120°F. Variation in out-coming temperature
could be based on factors including but not
limited to usage patterns and type of instal-
lation. Test water at the tap nearest to the
water heater. See page 32 for measuring the
out- coming water temperature.
WARNING
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.
Before adjusting the water temperature setting,
read this instruction manual. Temperatures
at which injury occurs vary with the person's
age and the length of exposure. The slower
reaction time of children, elderly or physically
or mentally challenged persons increases the
scalding hazard to them. It is recommended
that lower water temperatures be used where
these exposure hazards exist. Households
with small children or invalids may require a
temperature setting less than 120°F to prevent
accidental contact with hot water.
To produce less than 120°F, use point-of-
use temperature limiting devices.

SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR NEW WATER HEATER Check the new equipment to see if all components are in good condition. If damage is observed or parts appear to be missing, contact your wholesaler. WATER TREATMENT/FILTRATION In areas where poor water conditions are suspected (i.e. lime, iron, and other minerals), it is essential that the water be tested and appropriate action taken to prevent damage to the water heater and ensure the quality of the water. - Page 6 SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION (cont .) ANODE RODS The anode rod is used as a sacrificial element within the volume of the storage tank. The purpose of the magnesium anode rod is to protect the inside of the tank against corrosion. Anode rods should be inspected twice in the first year and at least yearly once a time interval for inspection has been developed.

SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION (cont .) BACKFLOW PREVENTER (CLOSED SYSTEM) Some local municipal codes and ordinances require the use of these devices on potable (domestic) water lines. Where backflow preventers, check valves, or pressure regulating valves are required, it will be necessary to install a thermal expansion tank (designed for use with potable water) in order to prevent pressure build up in the water heater and associated piping, which could cause the T&P valve to discharge. - Page 8 SECTION III: PRE-INSTALLATION (cont .) CAUTION Do not drop water heater or lay heater down on its side. Move the water heater into position by sliding or using an appropriately sized hand truck. CAUTION If the water heater is installed directly on carpeting, the water heater shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth of the water heater by at least 3 inches (76.2 mm) in any direction or, if the water heater is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel.
- Page 9 SECTION III: PRE-INSTALLATION (cont .) UNCONFINED SPACE Unconfined space is defined by NFPA 54 as a space with a volume greater than 50 cubic feet (during typical use) per 1000 BTUH of the total combined input of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
