Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or

death. Always read and understand instruction manual.

Under no circumstances should

the input exceed the rate shown

on the water heater’s rating label.

Overfiring could result in damage to

the water heater and sooting.

Gas and carbon monoxide detectors

are available.

you should contact your gas supplier for any specific changes

which may be required in your area.

As elevation above sea level is increased, there is less oxygen

per cubic foot of air. Therefore, the heater input rate should be

reduced at high altitudes for satisfactory operation with the

reduced oxygen supply. Failure to make this reduction would

result in an over firing of the heater causing sooting, poor

combustion and/or unsatisfactory heater performance.

ratings specified by manufacturers for most appliances apply

for elevations up to 2000 feet (610m). For elevations above 2000

feet (610), ratings must be reduced at the rate of 4% for each

1000 feet (305m) above sea level. For example, if a heater is

rated at 78,000 Btuh (22.9 Kwh) at sea level, to rate the heater

at 4000 feet (1219m), you subtract 4 (once for each thousand

feet) x.04 (4% input reduction) x 78,000 (original rating) from the

original rating.

Therefore, to calculate the input rating at 4,000 feet (1219m):

4 x .04 x 78,000 = 12,480 Btuh (3.7 Kwh), 78,000 (22.9 Kwh) -

12,480 (3.7 Kwh) = 65,520 Btuh (19.2 Kwh). At 6000 feet (1829m)

the correct input rating should be 59,280 Btuh (17.4 Kwh).

Some circulating pumps are manufactured with sealed bearings

and do not require further lubrication. Some circulating pumps

must be periodically oiled. refer to the pump manufacturer’s

instructions for lubrication requirements.

Fire and Explosion Hazard

Gas and carbon monoxide detectors are

available.

Overfiring could result in fire or

explosion.

Under no circumstances should the

input exceed the rate shown on the

water heater’s rating label.
