Installing  the  water  heater:

Combustion  and  Ventilation  Air

Corrosive  Atmospheres

The  air  in  beauty  shops,  dry  cleaning  
establishments,  photo  processing  labs,    
and  storage  areas  for  liquid  and  powdered  
bleaches  or  swimming  pool  chemicals  
often  contains  such  halogenated  
hydrocarbons  and/or  corrosives.

An  air  supply  containing  halogenated  
hydrocarbons  may  be  safe  to  breathe,    
but  when  it  passes  through  a  gas  flame,  
corrosive  elements  are  released  that    
will  shorten  the  life  of  any  gas  burning  
appliance.

Propellants  from  common  spray  cans    
or  gas  leaks  from  A/C  and  refrigeration  
equipment  are  highly  corrosive  after  
passing  through  a  flame.

The  water  heater  warranty  is  voided  when  
failure  of  the  heater  is  due  to  operation  in  
a  corrosive  atmosphere.

NOTICE:  The  water  heater  

should  not  be  installed  near  

an  air  supply  containing  

halogenated  hydrocarbons  

and/or  corrosives.

Inspect  Shipment

Inspect  the  water  heater  for  possible  damage.  Check  the  markings  on  the  rating  plate  of  
the  water  heater  to  be  certain  the  type  of  gas  supplied  corresponds  to  the  water  heater  
requirements.  Verify  all  included  parts  are  present  (see  below).

Proper  operation  of  the  water  heater  requires  air  for  combustion  and  ventilation.  Provisions  for  com-­
bustion  and  ventilation  air  must  comply  with  referenced  codes  and  standards.

This  water  heater  is  for  OUTDOOR
installation  ONLY.

DANGER:  It  must  NOT  be  in-­

stalled  indoors  or  in  an  enclosure.
