Installation (Locating the Water Heater) continued-
Note: For California installations, this water heater must be braced, anchored,
or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an earthquake. See instructions
for correct installation procedures. Instructions may be obtained from DSA
Headquarters Office, 1102 Q Street, Suite 5100, Sacramento, California

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 touch any electrical 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!
