WARNINGS—Pay Attention to These Terms
WARNING: Gasoline, as well as other flammable
materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors they produce, are extremely dangerous. DO NOT handle, use or store gasoline or other flammable or combustible materials anywhere near or in the vicinity of a water heater. Be sure to read and follow the warning label pictured below and other labels on the water heater, as well as the warnings printed in this manual. Failure to do so can result in property damage, bodily injury, or death.
DANGER: Failure to install the draft hood and properly vent the water heater to the outdoors as outlined in the Venting section of this manual can result in unsafe operation of the water heater. To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide, never operate this water heater unless it is properly vented and has an adequate air supply for proper operation. Be sure to inspect the vent system for proper installation at initial start-up; and at least annually thereafter. Refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for more information regarding vent system inspections.
DANGER: Water heaters utilizing Liquefied Petroleum gas (LP) are different from natural gas models. A natural gas heater will not function safely on LP gas and vice versa. Conversion from Natural gas to LP gas (or vice versa) must be done by a qualified service technician. To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury or fire: DO NOT connect this water heater to a fuel type not in accordance with unit data plate. Propane for propane units, Natural gas for natural gas units. These units are not certified for any other type fuel.
DANGER: LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS: Propane, or LP gas, must be used with great caution.
• It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
• Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before attempting to light appliance. Use a soapy solution to check all gas fittings and connections. Bubbling at a connection indicates a leak that must be corrected. When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff near the floor too.
• Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications and their installation should be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
• It is recommended that more than one method be used to detect leaks in LP applications.
WARNING: LP appliances should not be installed below-grade (for example, in a basement) if such installation is prohibited by federal, state and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
Vapors from flammable liquids will explode and catch fire causing death or severe
burns.
Do not use or store flammable products such as gasoline solvents or adhesives in the same room or area near the water heater. Keep flammable products:
1. far away from heater,
2. in approved containers,
3. tightly closed and
4. out of childrenʼs reach.
Installation: Do not install water heater where flammable products will be stored or used unless the main burner and pilot flames
Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions. If owners manual is missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
Water heater has a main burner and pilot flame. The pilot flame:
1. is on all the time and
2. will ignite flammable vapors. Vapors:
1. cannot be seen,
2. are heavier than air,
3. go a long way on the floor,
4. can be carried from other room to the pilot flame by their currents.
are at least 18" above the floor. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of vapors being ignited by the main burner or pilot flame.

GENERAL SAFETY
To meet commercial hot water requirements, the tank­stat is adjustable up to 190°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds. This is the preferred starting point for setting the control for supplying gen­eral purpose hot water.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con­sidered when setting the water temperature on the tankstat. The most energy efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the lowest that satis­fies the needs consistent with the application.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after burner has shut off. To find hot water temperature being deliv­ered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermometer.
Table A details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.
Time/Temperature Relationships in Scalds
The temperature of the water in the storage tank can be regulated by setting the temperature dial on front of the tankstat. To comply with safety regulations, the tankstat was set at its lowest setting before shipment from the factory.
Fig. 1 illustrates the tankstat. To adjust the water tem­perature, insert a small straight screwdriver into slotted screw in hole in front of tankstat and turn wheel to desired setting. Thermostat is adjustable up to 190°F.
Temperature Time to Produce Serious Burn
120°F More than 5 minutes
125°F 1-1/2 to 2 minutes
130°F About 30 seconds
135°F About 10 seconds
140°F Less than 5 seconds
145°F Less than 3 seconds
150°F About 1-1/2 seconds
155°F About 1 second

WARNING: Air supply to the heater room must not be affected by mechanical exhaust vents located in other parts of the house, such as kitchen or bathroom fans, or attic blowers. Mechanical exhaust vents may create a negative pressure condition in the heater room that can become a hazard of asphyxiation, explosion or fire.
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater. Measures must be taken to prevent the entry of corrosive chemical fumes to the combustion and ventilation air supply. Such chemicals include, but are not limited to, chlorinated and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons such as found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry-cleaning fluids, degreasers, and paint removers. Other harmful elements may come from bleaches, air fresheners, or mastics. Vapors from these types of products can form corrosive acid compounds when burned in a gas flame. The resulting acid condensate can damage or substantially reduce the life of the heater. It may be necessary to provide outside air directly to the heater in order to avoid this problem.

Fig. 9: Vent Terminal/Indoor Stack Installation
Vent piping the same size or larger than the draft hood outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent height is at least ten (10) feet (draft hood relief open­ing to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced as specified in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1. As much as possible avoid long hori­zontal runs of vent pipe and too many elbows.
If installation requires horizontal runs, the vent pipe must have a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot rise and should be supported at not more than five foot inter­vals. Plumbers tape, crisscrossed, will serve to space both horizontal and vertical piping. Maximum vent con­nector horizontal length shall be 1-1/2 feet (18 inches) for each inch of connector diameter as shown in Table F.
Gas vents supported only by the flashing and extend­ing above the roof more than five feet should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads. We recommend use of insulated vent pipe spacer through the roofs and walls.
For protection against rain or blockage by snow, the vent pipe must terminate with a listed vent cap which complies with the local codes or, in the absence of such codes, to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
The discharge opening must be a minimum of two feet vertically from the roof surface and at least two(2) feet higher than any part of the building within ten (10) feet. Vent stack shall be at least five (5) feet in vertical height above the drafthood outlet. The vent cap loca­tion shall have a minimum clearance of four (4) feet horizontally from, and in no case above or below, unless a 4-foot horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters regulators and relief equip­ment.
WARNING: Indoor heaters require a drafthood that must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside. Failure to follow this procedure can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.

Common Vents
Manifolds that connect more than one heater to a com­mon chimney must be sized to handle the combined load. Consult available guides for proper sizing of the manifold and the chimney. At no time should the area be less than the area of the largest outlet.
At the time of removal of an existing heater, the follow­ing steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remain­ing connected to the common venting system are not in operation.
(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
(c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the com­mon venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will oper-
