1 Warning
For your safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable,
combustible or corrosive vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Warning: Carefully plan where you
install the heater. Correct combustion
air supply and flue pipe installation are
very important. If a gas appliance is not
installed correctly, fatal accidents can
result from lack of air, carbon monoxide
poisoning or fire.
Warning: Exhaust gas must be vented
to outside using 3" single wall sealed
stainless steel vent pipe suitable for
category III vent systems and
temperatures up to 480°F. Vent and
combustion air connector piping must
be sealed gas-tight to prevent
possibility of flue gas spillage, carbon
monoxide emissions and risk of fire,
resulting in severe personal injury or
death.
Warning: Place the recirculating water
heater in a location where water leaks
will do NOT DAMAGE adjacent areas
or lower floors.
Warning: Field wiring connections and
electrical grounding must comply with
local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the latest edition of the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
or in Canada, all electrical wiring must
comply with the local codes and the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
Part 1.
Warning: Shock hazard line voltage is
present. Before servicing the
recirculating water heater, turn off the
electrical power to the recirculating
water heater at the main disconnect or
circuit breaker. Failure to do so could
result in severe personal injury or death.
