WATER HEATER PREPARATION
SET-UP
Do not place Water Heater in an area where flammable gas vapors may be present. A
spark could cause an explosion or fire.
1. Do Not use this unit in an area:
a) With insufficient ventilation.
b) Where there is a combustible ceiling unless suitable exhaust stack is installed.
c) Where there is evidence of oil or fuel leaks.
d) Where flammable gas vapors may be present.
2. Ensure to engage the wheel brake to prevent the water heater from moving while operating.
3. Allow sufficient clearances of no less than four feet around the water heater for accessibility.
4. Do Not allow the water heater to be exposed to rain, snow, or freezing temperatures. If any part of the unit
becomes frozen, excessive pressure may build up in the water heater which could cause it to burst resulting in
possible serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
VENTILATION INSTRUCTIONS – OPTIONAL STACK ADAPTER
Use this Water Heater ONLY in well ventilated areas. The exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous, odorless, and invisible gas. Breathing this gas can cause
serious injury, illness and possible death.
Installation of this unit in an indoor or enclosed environment should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician.
Additionally, venting must conform to all local, state, and federal codes. Refer to NFPA 31 and CAN/CSA B139-M91,
where applicable.
Exhaust gases must not be vented into a wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
An 8" (inch) flue pipe must be used to match the size of the stack adapter accessory. The flue pipe should be kept as
short as possible and be installed so that it has a continuous rise to the chimney. Elbows must be kept to an absolute
minimum to maintain the forced air draft in the system and ensure good burn quality.
