Important Information
-3-
The following terms are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the
presence of hazards at various risk levels, or to important information concerning
product life.
READ CAREFULLY
Indicates special instructions on
installation, operation or maintenance,
which are important but not related to
personal injury hazards.
NOTICE
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, could
result in death, serious injury or
substantial property damage.
WARNING
Indicates potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, may result in
moderate or minor injury or property
damage.
CAUTION
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, will result
in death, serious injury or substantial
property damage.
DANGER
NOTICE
This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent overheating. Should
overheating occur or the gas supply fails to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the
water heater and call a qualified service technician.
Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, condensate will form on the cool tank
surface and drops of water will fall on the hot burner and combustion chamber surfaces
producing a “sizzling” noise. Condensation is normal and does not indicate a leak. It will
disappear when the tank becomes heated.
NOTICE
The lower the temperature setting, the greater the energy efficiency, both to heat the water and
to maintain the storage temperature during standby periods. Lower water temperatures also
extend tank life. Remember, no water heating system will provide exact temperatures at all
times. Allow a few days of operation at this setting to determine the correct temperature setting
consistent with the requirements for the installation.
DANGER
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within five (5) seconds at a
temperature setting of 140
°F (60 °
C). To protect against hot water injury, install an ASSE
approved mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce point of discharge
temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch water lines. A licensed plumbing
professional or local plumbing authority should be consulted.
