2. Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately with the shipper and noted
on the Bill of Lading.
The vent terminal that is supplied with this water heater are stored at the top in the Combustion Assembly
Compartment. The condensate elbow and rubber couplers are secured to the bottom of the crating.
Locating the Water Heater
1. Locate the water heater in front of final position before removing the crate.
2. Locate so that venting connections will be short and direct.
3. This water heater is suitable for installation on combustible floor. Do NOT install this water heater
directly on carpeting. If the water heater is to be installed on carpeting, it must be installed on top of a
metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three 3 in
(7.6 cm) in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must
be covered by the panel.
4. For basement installation, provide a solid, level, and elevated base such as concrete or other suitable
pad to raise the water heater at least 3 in (7.6 cm) to provide a slope of 1/4 in/ft (.635 cm/m) for the
condensate line to a suitable drain.
5. Minimum clearance to combustible material is 0 in (0 cm) for the Top, Sides, and Rear of this water
heater. However, it is recommended that at least 18 in (45.7 cm) from the Top, 24 in (61 cm) from
the Front, 4 in (10.2 cm) for the Left Side and Rear, and 12 in (30.5 cm) from the Right Side
Exhaust Elbow of the water heater be provided for servicing. Clearance for servicing may be
reduced down to minimum clearance to combustible material, but service time and effort may be greatly
increased.
