INSTALLATION
All gas water heaters require careful and correct installation to ensure safe and efficient
operation. This manual must be followed exactly. Read the “Safety Guidelines” section at the
beginning of this manual.
•
The warranty will not cover damage caused by water quality. Water
hardness that leads to scale formation and/or corrosion may
affect/damage the water heater. Hard water scaling and/or corrosion must
be avoided or controlled by proper water treatment.
•
TAKAGI recommends using the Takagi direct vent kit, when the water
heater is installed in a beauty salon. Some chemicals used in a beauty
salon may affect the flame sensor. Water heater may not work properly.
•
Although the T-M32 is designed to operate with minimal sound, TAKAGI
does not recommend installing the unit on a wall adjacent to a
bedroom, or a room that is intended for quiet study or meditation, etc.
•
Locate your heater close to a drain where water leakage will not do damage
to surrounding areas. As with any water heating appliance, the potential for
leakage at some time in the life of the product does exist. Takagi will not be
responsible for any water damage that may occur. If you install a drain pan
under the unit, ensure that it will not restrict the combustion air flow.
•
TAKAGI does not recommend installing unit in an attic due to safety
issues. If you install your T-M32 in an attic:
• Make sure your unit will have enough combustion air and proper
ventilation.
• Keep the area around your T-M32 clean. When dust collects on the
flame sensor, the water heater will shut down on errors.
• If the above conditions cannot be met, use the direct vent conversion kit
TM-DV32.
• Locate unit for easy access for service and maintenance.
• A drain pan is required to be installed under the water heater in case of
leaks.
