electric shock that will result in death or serious

personal injury.

WARNINGS:

• For your safety, the information in this manual must

be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion,

or electric shock that can result in death, personal

injury, and/or property damage.

• Field wiring connections and electrical grounding

must comply with local codes or, in the absence of

local codes, with the latest edition of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada,

Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, Part 1.

CAUTIONS:

• Label all wires prior to disconnecting for service.

Wiring errors can cause dangerous and improper

operation. Verify correct operation after servicing.

• For your safety, burner inspection and cleaning

should be performed only by qualified service

personnel.

• Make certain the power to the water heater is OFF

before removing the unit cover panel. Exposed

electrical components and moving parts can cause

personal injuries.

California law requires that water heaters must

be braced, anchored, or strapped to resist falling

or horizontal displacement due to earthquake

motions. For water heaters up to 52-gallon

capacity, a brochure with generic earthquake

bracing instructions can be obtained from: Office

of the State Architect, 1102 Q Street, Suite 5100,

Sacramento, CA 95814, or you may call

916-445-8100 or ask a water heater dealer.

However, applicable local codes shall govern

installation. For residential water heaters of a

capacity greater than 52 gallons or tankless-style,

consult the local building jurisdiction code for

acceptable bracing procedures.
