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.

 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.
