On-Demand Water Heater Installation Manual and Owner’s Guide
WARNING
•
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer (for example, a licensed
plumber or gas fitter). Otherwise, the warranty will be void.
•
The installer (licensed professional) is responsible for the correct installation of the water
heater and for compliance with all national, state/provincial, and local codes.
•
The manufacturer does not recommend installing the water heater in a pit or location where
gas and water can accumulate.
• Do not have the vent terminal pointing toward any operating window, door, or opening into a
building.
• Do not install the air intake next to any source of airborne debris, such as a clothes dryer, that can
cause debris to be trapped inside the combustion chamber, unless the system is direct-vented.
• Do not install the unit where water, debris, flammable vapors, corrosive or acid forming chemicals
may get into the flue terminal or the air intake line.
•
The manufacturer does not recommend installing the water heater in an attic due to safety
issues
. If you install the water heater in an attic:
- Make sure the unit will have enough combustion air and proper ventilation. Failure to do so
could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
- Keep the area around the water heater clean. When dust collects on the flame sensor and
pressure sensor, the water heater will shut down on an error code.
- Place the unit where it will allow easy access for service and maintenance.
- A drain pan, or other means of protection against water damage, is recommended to be
installed under the water heater in case of leaks. See the NOTICE below.
•
The water heater must be securely mounted to a wall or other suitable structure.
•
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe personal injury, death, and/or property
damage.
NOTICE
•
The warranty will not cover damage caused by water quality.
- Only potable water can be used with this water heater. Do not introduce pool or spa water, or
any chemically treated water into the water heater.
- Introduction of water with iron greater than 0.3 mg/L.
- Water pH levels must be between 6.5 and 8.5.
- Well water must be treated.
•
The manufacturer recommends direct venting when the water heater is installed in beauty
salons, dry cleaners or any other locations in which such chemicals are present in the air.
Some
chemicals used in beauty salons or dry cleaners may affect the flame sensor. In such cases, the
water heater may not work properly.
• Although the water heater is designed to operate with minimal sound,
the manufacturer 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 water 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. A drain pan, or other means of protection against water damage,
is recommended to be installed under the water heater in case of leaks. In addition, you may
install an active water leak detector with a shutoff valve which can turn off the water supply in
the event of a leak. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage due to water leaks. If you
install a drain pan under the unit, ensure that it will not restrict the combustion air flow.
• This water heater is not suitable for combination water (potable) heating and space heating
applications.
