PREPARING FOR THE NEW INSTALLATION

1. Read the “General Safety” section, page 3 of this manual

first and then the entire manual carefully. If you don’t follow

the safety rules, the water heater will not operate properly. It

could cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR

PROPERTY DAMAGE.

This manual contains instructions for the installation,

operation, and maintenance of the gas-fired water heater. It

also contains warnings throughout the manual that you must

read and be aware of. All warnings and all instructions are

essential to the proper operation of the water heater and

your safety. Since we cannot put everything on the first few

pages, READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING

TO INSTALL OR OPERATE THE WATER HEATER.

2. The installation must conform with these instructions and

the local code authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of

local codes, installations shall comply with the National Fuel

Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. This publication is

available from the CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant

Valley Rd., Cleveland, Ohio 44131, or The National Fire

Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA

3. If after reading this manual you have any questions or do not

understand any portion of the instructions, call the local gas

utility or the manufacturer whose name appears on the rating

plate.

4. Carefully plan the place where you are going to put the water

heater. Correct combustion, vent action, and vent pipe

installation are very important in preventing death from

possible carbon monoxide poisoning and fires, see Figures

9 through 14.

Examine the location to ensure the water heater complies

with the Locating the New Water Heater section in this

manual.

5. For California installation this water heater must be braced,

anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an

earthquake. See instructions for correct installation

procedures. Instructions may be obtained from California

installed in accordance with Massachusetts 248-CMR 2.00:

State Plumbing Code and 248-CMR 5.00.
