I) INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Flammable Vapour Ignition
Resistant Power Vented Water Heater. This water heater
is designed to reduce the risk of flammable vapour related
fires by shutting the burner down before flammable vapours
get into the water heater combustion chamber. This is
achieved by the means of the flammable vapour sensor.
Properly installed and maintained, it will provide years of
trouble free service.
This gas-fired water heater has been developed to produce
potable hot water for normal residential demands and may
also be used in combination with space heating applica-
tions. Any deviation from these applications could affect
your warranty.
