This water heater MUST be installed indoors.
This water heater MUST be located in an area where the
general public does not have access.
Corrosion of the internal flue ways and concentric flue system
will occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical
vapours. Such corrosion may result in poor combustion and
create a risk of asphyxiation, as well as reducing the life of the
water heater. Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents,
refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool
chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes and process
chemicals are corrosive. Products of this sort should not be
stored near the water heater or outside by the air intake (if
applicable).
This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water at any
outlet in the system. Be careful whenever using hot water to
avoid scalding injury. To protect against injury, you should install
approved mixing valves in the water system. This valve will
reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot
water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from
your local plumbing supplier.
