CAUTION

Do Not Use Equipment for Purposes Other Than Those Specified

Check Water Supply Quality

• If the water supply is hard, acidic or otherwise impure, treat the water with approved methods in order to ensure full warranty coverage.

Installation Instructions

Choosing Installation Site

* Locate the appliance in an area where water leakage from the unit or connections will not result in

damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.

DANGER

• This water heater is for outdoor installation only. Never install it indoors. Do not enclose the termination with corrugated metal or other materials.

This will cause carbon monoxide poisoning and a potential fire hazard.

Indoor

WARNING

• Avoid places where fires are common, such as those where petrol, benzene and adhesives are handled, or places in which corrosive gases (ammonia, chlorine, sulfur, ethylene compounds, acids) are present. May result in fire.

• Avoid installation in places where dust or debris will accumulate.

Dust may block the air-supply opening, causing the performance of the device fan to drop and incomplete combustion to occur as a result.

• Avoid installation in places where special chemical agents (e.g., hair spray or spray detergent) are used.

Ignition failures and malfunction may occur as a result.

Prohibited

• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard. Do not install this water heater in a mobile home, recreation vehicle or on a boat.

Installation Instructions

CAUTION

• Install the water heater in a location where it is free from obstacles and stagnant air.

• Consult with the customer concerning the location of installation.

• Do not install the water heater near staircases or emergency exits.

• Do not install the water heater where the exhaust will blow on outer

walls or material not resistant to heat. Also consider the surrounding trees and animals.

The heat and moisture from the water heater may cause discoloration of walls and resinous materials, or corrosion of aluminium materials.

• Do not locate the vent termination directed towards a window or any other structure which has glass or wired glass facing the termination.

• Install in a location where the exhaust gas flow will not be affected by fans or range hoods.

• Take care that noise and exhaust gas will not affect neighbours.

• Avoid installation where the unit will be exposed to excessive winds.

Prohibited

• Before installing, make sure that the vent termination will have the proper clearances according to AS5601, or your local authority.

• On combustible surfaces e.g. weatherboards etc. it is not required to install a fire proof back board.
