Optional Wall Mounting
This water heater can be mounted on a wall or can sit directly on the floor.

When selecting an installation location, choose a location that allows easy access for maintenance.
For wall mounting condition, ensure the mounting surface is solid and secure. Screws should be secured into wall studs
when possible. If stud mounting cannot be achieved, use provided screw anchors to ensure secure mounting of the water
heater.
Tools Needed:
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Drill
• Pencil
• Tape Measure

Mounting Instructions:
1. Locate mounting slots on rear case of water heater.

If screw locations are not in studs, prepare a hole with an anchor and then drive the screw into wall anchor.
4. Hang the water heater on the bracket and pull down to ensure the bracket is fully seated in the mounting slots of the water
