INSTALLATION

Locating The Storage Unit

This storage unit must NOT be installed in any location where gasoline

or flammable vapors are likely to be present, unless the installation is

such to eliminate the probable ignition of gasoline or flammable

vapors.

The location this storage unit is to be installed is of utmost importance.

Before installing this storage unit, consult the installation section of these

instructions. After reading these installation and operating instructions,

select a location for the storage unit where the floor is level and is easily

accessible to a power supply and water connections. It is recommended

that the storage unit be located near the center of greatest hot water usage

to prevent heat loss through the pipes. DO NOT locate the storage unit

where water lines could be subjected to freezing temperatures. Locate

the storage unit so that access panels and drain valves are accessible.

Storage unit corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating

and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical

compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning

solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool

chemicals, calcium or sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals.

These materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no

odor to reveal their presence. NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE STORAGE UNIT

CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED

BY THE WARRANTY. DO NOT OPERATE THE STORAGE UNIT IF

EXPOSURE HAS OR WILL OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY

POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE

STORAGE UNIT.

WARNING

To avoid damage or injury, there shall be no materials stored against the

storage unit and proper care shall be taken to avoid unnecessary contact

(especially by children) with the storage unit. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS

GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE USED OR STORED IN THE

VICINITY OF THIS STORAGE UNIT OR ANY LOCATION FROM WHICH

FUMES COULD REACH THE STORAGE UNIT.
