6. Anti-dry combustion protection:
Should dry combustion occur for any reason, the gas supply will be immediately
and automatically shut off.
7. Over-pressure protection:
When water pressure is over 145 PSI, the unit will automatically relieve the
excessive pressure to avoid damage to its internal components.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. The water heater must be installed in a well-ventilated area. An exhaust pipe of
double walled steel for Class 3 appliances (located at most home improvement
stores in the water heater section) must be installed to discharge the exhaust from
the flame. During operation, the water heater consumes a lot of oxygen, so the
exhaust pipe and outlet hole must be properly installed. Refer to exhaust pipe
section for details.
-Failure to properly install the room intake and exhaust pipe will cause
oxygen depletion in the area around the water heater, which can cause
incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide poisoning, death and serious
accidents can occur due to incomplete combustion. ALL USERS OF GAS
APPLIANCES OF ANY TYPE SHOULD EMPLOY THE USE OF A CARBON
MONOXIDE DETECTOR.
2. Don´t expose the water heater to the strong wind or rain.
3. Use only the type of gas that is specified on the name plate.
4. All gas connections should be made by a professional.
5. Don't use pipes, tubing or other connections that are aging or cracked.
6. Do not use with water pressures lower than 8 PSI. Do not use with lower GPM's
than indicated on the flow chart for your unit.
7. The water heater shouldn't be installed above cooking appliances, such as
ovens or stoves.
8. The water heater should be installed a minimum of 15 feet from any stairs or
emergency exits.
9. The water heater must be installed vertically, according to the mounting
instructions.
10. The water heater must not be installed near flammable or volatile substances.
Mounting Your Water Heater
a)When possible, your water heater should be mounted directly to studs. There
should be a screw in every available mounting location on the heater. If studs are
not available, do NOT hang unit directly from sheetrock without utilizing expansion
screws.
b) When utilizing expansion screws for sheetrock mounting, hold the unit on the
wall where you want it mounted. Mark with a pencil the (4) mounting holes.
Remove the unit from the wall, and drill 3/8” holes on each mark. (See drawings
below).
c) Install the expansion bolt into the drilled hole. Hang the unit utilizing the screws
supplied.
