Location requirements

Locate the water heater in a clean area as near as possible to
the area of biggest hot water demand. Long uninsulated hot
water lines can waste energy and water.
Note: Because this unit draws in ambient air to heat the water,
when using the unit indoors, the room must be at least 3m x 3m
3
x 2,5m (22,5 m ) or larger, and preferably vented. If the room
is smaller, there must be a louvered door with minimum
2
500cm venting area.
Place the water heater in such a way that clearance for proper
servicing is considered (section 3.7), namely for top cover
removal, PTR valve access and anode rod removal and
installation.
Remember you may need to remove the entire unit later for
servicing.
The water heater and water lines should be protected from
freezing temperatures and highly corrosive atmospheres.
CAUTION:
The water heater should not be located in an
area where leakage of the tank or connection
will result in damage to the area adjacent to
it or to lower floors of the structure. In places
where installation in such areas cannot be
avoided, it is recommended that a suitable
catch pan, adequately drained, be installed
under the water heater (Fig. 8).

WARNING:
This water heater SHOULD NOT be installed
in an area with a corrosive atmosphere
where chemicals or flammable liquids are
stored or where aerosol propellants are
released. When using outdoors, because of
natural air movement in a room or other
enclosed space, these corrosive/flammable
vapours can be carried from where they are
being used or stored. Any electric arc drawn
within the water heater's electronic controls
can ignite these vapours causing an
explosion or fire, which may result in severe
burns or death to those in range, as well as
property damage.
