IF YOU EXPERIENCE AN OUT-OF-GAS SITUATION, DO NOT TRY TO
RELIGHT APPLIANCES YOURSELF, ask your LP delivery person to
relight pilots for you. Only trained LP professionals should conduct
the required safety checks in accordance with industry standards.
EXTENDED NON-USE PERIODS
WARNING
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE PRODUCED IN A HOT WATER SYSTEM
SERVED BY THIS HEATER THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME (GENERALLY TWO WEEKS OR MORE).
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To reduce the risk
of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot
water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink
before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water
system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual
sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins
to flow. THERE SHOULD BE NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAME NEAR
THE FAUCET AT THE TIME IT IS OPEN.
INSULATION BLANKETS
Insulation blankets available to the general public for external use
on gas water heaters are not approved for use on your commercial
water heater. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the
standby heat loss encountered with storage tank water heaters.
Your commercial water heater meets or exceeds the ASHRAE/IES
90.1b-1999 standards with respect to insulation and standby loss
requirement making an insulation blanket unnecessary.
WARNING
Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater,
you should follow these instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire, asphyxiation , serious personal
injury or death.
• Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as this
will interfere with safe operation of the draft hood.
• Do not cover the outer door, thermostat or temperature &
pressure relief valve.
• Do not allow insulation to come within 2" (5cm) of the floor to
prevent blockage of combustion air flow to the burner.
• Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side of
the water heater or nearby for future reference.
• Do obtain new warning and instruction labels from your
commercial water heater company for placement on the
blanket directly over the existing labels.
• Do inspect the insulation blanket frequently to make certain
it does not sag, thereby obstructing combustion air flow.
CIRCULATING PUMP
A circulating pump is used when a system requires a circulating
loop or there is a storage tank used in conjunction with the heater.
Install the system in accordance with the latest version of the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
