Installation Instructions

4. 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	Indoor

May result in fire.	Prohibited
• 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.

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