CAUTION:
!
DO NOT operate this water heater with the rain cap
removed or recirculation of combustion products may
occur. Water may also collect inside larger

Failure to follow this warning could result in product
damage, improper operation, personal injury or death.
DO NOT use field-supplied couplings to extend pipes.
Airflow restriction will occur and the water heater
pressure switches may cause intermittent problems.
