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.
To comply with NSF requirements this water heater is to be:
a) Sealed to the floor with sealant, in a smooth and easily cleanable way,
or
b) Installed with an optional leg kit that includes legs and/or extensions
that provide a minimum clearance of 6” beneath 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 THE LEAKAGE IS
CORRECTED!
