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.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
DO NOT try to light any appliance.
DO NOT touch any electric switch; do not use any
telephone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another
building. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
Liquefied petroleum gas/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements, crawl spaces, closets, and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of leaking gas.
This water heater is supplied with an adjustable thermostat to control water temperature. Hot water temperatures required for automatic dishwasher and laundry use can cause scald burns resulting in serious personal injury and/or death. The temperature at which injury occurs varies with the person’s age and the time of exposure. The slower response time of disabled persons increases the hazards to them. their own bath water.
NEVER
allow small children to use a hot water tap or to draw
NEVER
leave a child or disabled person
unattended in a bathtub or shower.

Important Information continued-
WARNING
Installation is not complete unless a pressure and temperature relief valve is installed into the side of the water heater. See the Water Connections section of this manual for details.
This water heater contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe fittings or attempt to disconnect any components of this water heater without positively assuring the water is cool and has no pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up, or servicing this water heater to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the temperature and pressure of the water heater. This water heater contains components that become very hot. Do not touch any components unless they are cool.
Improper installation, adjustments, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death. Read and understand all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturer’s manuals, which are provided with the appliance before installing, starting-up, operating, maintaining, or servicing this appliance. Keep this manual and literature in legible condition and posted near the appliance for reference by owner and service technician.
This water heater requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained in this manual. Installation, maintenance, and service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable installer or service agency.
To comply with NSF requirements this water heater is to be:

Important Information continued-
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are operating properly when the installation is complete.
DO NOT operate the water heater with jumpered or absent controls or safety devices.
DO NOT tamper with or alter the water heater and/or controls.
DO NOT operate the water heater if any external part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system that was under water.
This water heater is suitable for installation on combustible flooring. DO NOT install this water heater on carpeting.
DO NOT operate this water heater without first being certain it is filled with water.
Flammable items, pressurized containers, or any other potential fire hazardous articles must never be placed on or adjacent to the heater. Containers of flammable gases should not be stored or used in the same room with this water heater.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend that the water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance that is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be unusual sounds such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to flow. Do not smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

NOTICE
If the boiler takes longer to heat up from a cold start than the water availability as noted above, hot water shortage may occur.
Hot water availability is based off drawing 80% of the heated tank volume at 4 gallons per minute flow rate.
The maximum heat transfer through the coil (heat input) of the water heater at 240°F boiler water supply temperature and 210°F potable water temperature is 94,100 Btu/hr for residential models and 180,300 Btu/hr for commercial models. Potable water temperature is limited to below 210°F and nominal water­containing capacity is below 120 gallons for all indirect-fired models.
Accordingly, per Part HLW-101.2, Section IV of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, all indirect-fired products listed are exempted from compliance with the code.
