Location requirements

Warning: To avoid the potential for
ignition and fire, the water heater should
not be installed in a space where liquids
which give off flammable vapors are to
be used or stored.
Locate the water heater in a clean, dry area as near as
practical to the area of greatest hot water demand.
Long uninsulated hot water lines can waste energy and
water.
Note: Because this unit draws in air from the room to
heat the water, the room must be at least 10' x 10' x 7'
(700 cubic feet) or larger. If the room is smaller, there
must be louvers installed to allow for adequate airflow.
Place the water heater in such a manner that the air fil-
ter, cover and front panels can be removed to permit
inspection and servicing, such as removal of elements,
draining the tank, or cleaning of the filter.
The water heater and water lines should be protected
from freezing temperatures and highly corrosive atmos-
pheres. Do not install the water heater in outdoor or
unheated, unprotected areas.
Caution: The water heater should not
be located in an area where leakage of
the tank or connection will result in
damage. In installations where risk of
water damage cannot be avoided, a
suitable catch pan, adequately drained,
must be installed under the water
heater.

Warning: This water heater SHOULD
NOT be installed in a space where
liquids which give off flammable vapors
are to be used or stored. Such liquids
include gasoline, LP gas (butane and
propane), paint or adhesives and their
thinners, solvents
Because of natural air movement in a
room or other
flammable vapors can be carried from
where their liquids are being used or
stored. Any arc within the water
heater's electronic controls can ignite
these vapors causing an explosion or
fire which may result in severe burns or
death to those in range, as well as
property damage.
