INSTALLER – Read all instructions in this manual before installing. Perform steps in the order given.

USER – This manual is for use only by a qualified heating installer/service technician. Have this water heater serviced/inspected by a qualified service technician annually.

FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE GUIDELINES ON THIS PAGE AND HAVE THIS WATER HEATER SERVICED/INSPECTED ANNUALLY CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

NOTE: If the heater is exposed to the following, do not operate until all corrective steps have been made by a qualified serviceman:

 FIRE  DAMAGE  WATER

Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.

DO NOT USE THIS WATER HEATER IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a qualified service technician. The water heater MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to operate a water heater that has been submerged could create numerous harmful conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a fire and/or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged water heater could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

NOTE: Water heater damage due to flood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.

PART 1 – GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

A. PRECAUTIONS

This water heater is approved for indoor installations only. Clearance to combustible materials: 0” top, bottom, sides and back. Heater must have room for service: 24” front and 6” sides are minimum recommended service clearances. (A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable front clearance.) This water heater has been approved for closet installation, and installation on combustible flooring. Do not install this water heater directly on carpeting.

LP-04 REV. 4.15.14

Be sure to disconnect electrical power before performing service. Failure to do so could result in an electrical shock, property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

This water heater is not designed or intended for use in space heating applications. Failure of a water heater due to unapproved use IS NOT covered by the warranty.

California Law requires that residential water heaters must be braced, anchored, or strapped to resist falling or horizontal displacement due to earthquake motions. For residential water heaters up to 52 gallon capacity, a brochure with generic earthquake bracing instructions can be obtained from: Office of the State Architect, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or you may call 916-324-5315, or ask a water heater dealer. However, applicable local codes shall govern installation. For residential water heaters of a capacity greater than 52 gallons, consult the local building jurisdiction for acceptable bracing procedures.

Failure of an electric element due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH, or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

UNCRATING HEATER – Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee. Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the heater to be moved into its installation location.

B. WHEN SERVICING THE WATER HEATING SYSTEM

 To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing maintenance.  To avoid severe burns, allow heater to cool before servicing.

C. HEATER WATER

 Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in a water heating system. Gaskets and seals in the system may

be damaged. This can result in substantial property damage.

 Do not use “homemade cures” or “heater patent medicines”. Damage to heater, substantial property damage, and/or serious

personal injury may result.

D. INSTALLATIONS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

E. WATER CHEMISTRY

 Sodium less than 20mGL.  Water pH between 6.0 and 8.0

o Maintain water pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Check with litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by water treatment

company.

o If the pH differs from above, consult local water treatment company for treatment needed.

 Hardness less than 7 grains

o Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard water areas (above 7 grains hardness).

 Chlorine concentration less than 100 ppm

o Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable as levels are typically less than 5 ppm. o Do not connect the boiler to directly heat swimming pool or spa water. o Do not fill boiler or operate with water containing chlorine in excess of 100 ppm.

Hardness: 7 grains Chloride levels: 100 ppm pH levels: 6-8 TDS: 2000 ppm Sodium: 20 mGL

PART 2 – PREPARE THE WATER HEATER

LP-04 REV. 4.15.14

COLD WEATHER HANDLING – If the heater has been stored in a very cold location (BELOW 0oF) before installation, handle with care until the plastic components come to room temperature.

Locate the water heater where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. The water heater should be located near a floor drain, or installed in a drain pan. HTP WILL NOT be held liable for leakage damages.

B. LOCATING THE WATER HEATER

LP-04 REV. 4.15.14

Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the installation location adheres to the information included in this manual. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Failure of water heater or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.

The service life of the water heater’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the junction box, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heating elements, are directly influenced by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In such areas, higher concentration levels of chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity can lead to degradation of water heater components.

This water heater is certified for indoor installations only. Do not install the water heater outdoors. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty. Failure to install this water heater indoors could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

This water heater must not be located near flammable liquids such as gasoline, butane, liquefied propane, adhesives, solvents, paint thinners, etc., as the controls of this water heater could ignite these vapors and cause an explosion, resulting in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Figure 2 – Recommended Clearance

1. Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions

 Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32oF/0oC and lower than 104oF/40oC.  Avoid continuously high levels of humidity  Never close existing ventilation openings

2. Check for nearby connections to:

 System water piping  Electrical power

Choose a location for the water heater as centralized to the piping system as possible.

3. Check area around water heater. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.

4. If the water heater is to replace an existing water heater, check for and correct any existing system problems, such as:

 System leaks  Location that could cause the system and water heater to freeze and leak.  Incorrectly-sized expansion tank

5. All piping should be insulated. Additionally, place the water heater so that the drain, controls, and inlets/outlets are easily accessible.

If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown, it might not be possible to service the heater without removing it from the space.

NOTE: When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not be possible to read or view some product labeling. It is recommended to make note of the water heater model and serial number.

6. This water heater must be installed vertical on a level surface.
