Safety Behaviors and Practices for the Consumer and Installer

WARNING

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 combustible 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 products 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.
CAUTION


serious burns. Keep away from water heater unit.
