GENERAL INFORMATION


This gas-fired water heater is design certified by CSA International under the
American National Standard, Z21.10.3 (as indicated on the rating plate) and
CAN/CGA 4.3-M- (as indicated on the rating plate) available from CSA
Standards Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada M9W
1R3.

This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, it must be installed in compliance with the National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition), or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1
Natural Gas Installation Code (Latest Edition) or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane
Installation Code (Latest Edition).

This water heater has been equipped for use with one type of gas only.
Compare the information provided on the rating plate, affixed to the front of
the water heater, making sure that the gas stated on the rating plate is the
same as the gas to be used.


The warranty for this water heater is in effect only when the water heater is
installed, adjusted, and operated in accordance with these Installation and
Operating Instructions. The warranty does not cover damage or injury caused
by the use of any energy-saving devices (other than those authorized by the
manufacturer) in conjunction with this water heater. The use of unauthorized
energy-saving devices may decrease the life of the water heater and
endanger life and/or property. The manufacturer will not be liable for any
damage, injury, or loss of life resulting from alteration and/or failure to comply
with these instructions.

For installations in high altitude regions, this water heater must be ordered
from the supplier to the manufacturers specifications for that particular
altitude. Contact the company listed on the rating plate when ordering high
altitude constructed water heaters.




CAUTION
Do not attempt to use this water heater with any gas other than the
type listed on the rating plate. Do not attempt to convert this water
heater for use with a gas other than the type for which it is equipped.
Failure to use the proper gas can create an unsafe condition resulting
in property damage, bodily injury, or death. Consult your local gas
supplier or gas company if there are any questions.

General Information continued-

This water heater has been designed and certified for the purpose of heating
potable water. The installation and use of this water heater for any purpose
other than the heating of potable water may cause damage to the water
heater, create a hazardous condition, and nullify the warranty.



Sacrificial anode rods are used to extend tank life. In areas where water is
unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction
between the sacrificial anode and the impurities in the water. This is not the
fault of the water heater. If this should happen, alternative aluminum anode
rods may be purchased from the supplier of this water heater or the
manufacturer. This will minimize odor while protecting the tank. Additionally,
the water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate
any bacteria. The removal of the anode rods will void the warranty.

CAUTION

Incorrect operation of this appliance may create a hazard to life and
property and will nullify the warranty.

DANGER


Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible, or
corrosive vapors and/or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

IMPORTANT
Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and venting
components for possible damage. DO NOT install damaged components.
If damage is evident then please contact the supplier where the water
heater was purchased or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for
replacement parts.

INSTALLATION

Locating The Water Heater

This water heater must NOT be installed in any location where gasoline
or flammable vapors are likely to be present.

The location of this water heater is of the utmost importance. Before installing
this water heater, you should read the Installation section of these
instructions. After reading these Installation and Operating Instructions, select
a location for the water heater where the floor is level and is easily accessible
to water lines, gas supply (type identified on the rating plate), an adequate
open drain, and within the maximum specified venting distance to an outside
wall or roof for the direct vent terminal. DO NOT locate the water heater
where water lines could be subjected to freezing temperatures. Make
sure the cold water pipes are not located directly above the gas control
so that condensate during humid weather does not drip or accumulate
on the controls.

Adequate clearances must be provided for easy access to controls by service
personnel to enable proper cleaning, servicing, and operation of the water
heater. Under no circumstances is the front of the water heater to be placed
in a position where the burner tray assembly cannot slide out for removal
when servicing.


WARNING

Water heaters are heat-producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury
there shall be no materials stored against the water heater and proper care
shall be taken to avoid unnecessary contact (especially by children) with
the water heater components. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER
BE USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER,
DIRECT VENT SYSTEM OR IN ANY LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES
COULD REACH THE WATER HEATER OR DIRECT VENT SYSTEM.

Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued
-


Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the
heating and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some
typical compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants,
cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming
pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals.
These materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no
odor to reveal their presence. NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WA
