Special Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System

This water heater is equipped with a Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant

System. In the event of improper usage or storage of gasoline or other

flammable materials in the location where the water heater is installed, the

technology will resist ignition of the flammable vapors outside the confines of

the water heater.

The Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System features:

• Advanced Flame Arrestor Design

• Re-settable Thermal Switch to prevent burner/pilot operation with

restricted airflow

• Piezo Igniter

• Sight Window to observe operation of pilot and burner

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Activation of the Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant

System occurs when flammable vapors are drawn into the water heater and

are combusted. If flammable vapors are detected:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

• Do not use any phone in your building.

• Leave the premises and immediately call the fire department from a

neighbor’s phone. Follow the fire department’s instructions.

Once the flammable vapor has been evacuated, contact your plumbing

professional or the manufacturer for further instructions. Replacement of a

Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System equipped water heater due to a

flammable vapor shutdown is not covered under the terms of the limited

warranty.
