• Your water heater will have enough combustible air and proper ventilation.
• Locate your heater where water leakage will not damage surrounding areas (please refer to
p. 8).
4. Check the rating plate for the correct GAS TYPE, GAS PRESSURE, WATER PRESSURE and ELECTRIC
RATING.
*If this unit does not match your requirements, do not install and consult with the manufacturer.
5. If any problem should occur, turn off all hot water taps and turn off the gas. Then call a trained
technician or the Gas Company or the manufacturer.
• Water temperatures over 125 °F (52 °C) can cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalding. The water temperature is set at 120 °F (49 °C) from the
factory to minimize any scalding risk. Before bathing or showering always
check the water temperature.
WARNING
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammables, vapors, or liquids in the
vicinity of this appliance.
• Do not reverse the water and/or gas connections as this will damage the gas
valves and can cause severe injury or death. Follow the diagram on p. 20 when
installing your water heater.

immersed in water. Immediately call a licensed plumber, a licensed gas fitter,
or a professional service technician to inspect and/or service the unit if
necessary.
• Do not disconnect the electrical supply if the ambient temperature will
drop below freezing. The Freeze Prevention System only works if the unit
has electrical power. The warranty will not be covered if the heat exchanger
is damaged due to freezing. Refer to the section on the Freeze Prevention
