Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-
Water heater 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
and 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 WATER HEATER CAUSED BY
EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY. DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF EXPOSURE HAS
OR WILL OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE
COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE WATER HEATER.
WARNING
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas are heavier than air and will remain
at floor level if there is a leak. Basements, crawl spaces, closets and areas
below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of leaking gas.
Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell
next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
•
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in your
building.
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s telephone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE UNTIL LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
