PART 1: GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Be sure to read and understand the entire Use & Care Manual before attempting to install or operate this water heater.

Pay particular attention to the following General Safety Precautions. Failure to follow these warnings could result in a ﬁre

or explosion, causing property damage, bodily injury or death. Should you have any problems understanding the instruc-

tions in this manual, STOP, and get help from a qualiﬁed installer or service technician or the gas supplier.

n WARNING

Gasoline, as well as other ﬂammable materials and

liquids (adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors

they produce, are extremely dangerous. DO NOT

handle, use or store gasoline or other ﬂammable

or combustible materials anywhere near or in the

vicinity of a water heater. Be sure to read and follow

the warning label pictured below and other labels on

the water heater, as well as the warnings printed in

this manual. Failure to do so can result in property

damage, bodily injury, or death.

n DANGER

Failure to install and properly vent the water heater

to the outdoors as outlined in the Venting Section

of this manual can result in unsafe operation of the

water heater. To avoid the risk of ﬁre, explosion, or

asphyxiation from carbon monoxide, never operate

this water heater unless it is properly vented and has

an adequate air supply for proper operation. Be sure

to inspect the vent system for proper installation at

initial start-up and at least annually thereafter. Refer

to maintenance section of this manual for more

information regarding vent system inspections.

n DANGER

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS

-Propane, or LP gas, must be used with great caution.

· It is heavier than air and will collect ﬁrst in lower

areas making it hard to detect at nose level.

· Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before

attempting

to light appliance. Use a soapy solution

to check all gas ﬁttings and connections. Bubbling at

a connection indicates a leak that must be corrected.

When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff

near the ﬂoor.

· Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications

and their installation should be in accordance with

the manufacturer’s recommendations and/or local

laws, rules, regulations or customs.

· It is recommended that more than one method be

used to detect leaks in LP applications.

IF LP GAS IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:

· DO NOT attempt to ﬁnd the cause yourself;

· DO NOT try to light any appliance;

· DO NOT touch any electrical switch;

· DO NOT use any phone in your building.

· Leave the house immediately and make

sure your

family and pets leave also.

· Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact

the gas supplier, a qualiﬁed service agency or the

ﬁre department.

· Keep the area clear until the service call has been

made, the leak is corrected, and a qualiﬁed agency

has determined the area to be safe.

n WARNING

Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to

help detection. Some people may not physically be

able to smell or recognize this odorant. If unsure

or unfamiliar about the smell associated with LP or

natural gas, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions,

such as “Odorant Fade”, which causes the odorant

to “fade”, or diminish in intensity can also hide or

camouﬂage a gas leak.

n DANGER

Water heaters utilizing Liqueﬁed Petroleum gas (LP)

are different from natural gas models. A natural gas

heater will not function safely on LP gas and vice

versa. No attempt should ever be made to convert a

heater from natural gas to LP gas. To avoid possible

equipment damage, personal injury or ﬁre: DO

NOT connect this water heater to a fuel type not in

accordance with unit rating plate. Propane gas for

propane units. Natural gas for natural gas units.

These units are not certiﬁed for any other type fuel.
