containing halogenated hydrocarbons where contaminants
can enter the combustion air supply.
Avoid installing a water heater in any of the following
locations: beauty shops, dry-cleaning establishments,
photo processing labs, and storage areas for liquid

The air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons is
safe to breathe, but when passed through a gas flame,
corrosive elements are released that will shorten the life
of any gas-burning appliance.
Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from
A/C and refrigeration equipment are highly corrosive
after passing through a flame.
NOTICE:
The water heater warranty is void when the failure is due to
operation in corrosive conditions.
