For Your Safety

 

 

PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY 
AND FOLLOW IT EXACTLY FOR YOUR 
SAFETY. 
 
1.  Follow all local codes, or in the absence of 

local codes, follow the most recent edition 
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA or the CGA 
standard, CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2 
Installation Codes for Gas Burning 
Appliances in Canada. 

2. Properly ground the unit in accordance 

with all local codes, or in the absence of 
local codes, with the National Electrical 
Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the USA or CSA 
standard C22.1 Canada Electrical Code 
Part 1 in Canada. 

3.  Carefully plan where to install your Flash 

Water Heater. Insure that your heater will 
have enough combustible air, proper 
ventilation, and locate your heater where 
water leakage will not do damage to 
surrounding areas. If there is a possibility 
of water damage, install a suitable drain 
pan under the unit, which will not restrict 
combustible airflow. 

4.  Check the rating plate for the correct gas 

type, gas pressure, water pressure, and 
electrical rating. Do not install this unit if 
these requirements can’t be met. 

  

 

5.  If a problem should occur, turn off all hot 

water taps and turn off the gas. Call a 
trained technician, the Gas Company, or 
the manufacturer. 

6. 

WARNING

: Do not disconnect the 

electrical supply if the temperatures will be 
near freezing. The Freeze Prevention 

Device will only work if the unit has proper 
electrical power. The Freeze Prevention 
Device is rated for temperatures down to 
5º F (-15º C) in a wind free environment. 
The wind chill factor will cause the Flash 
Water Heater to freeze and be damaged at 
temperatures above 5º F (-15º C). Refer to 
the sections on Winterizing and the Freeze 
Prevention Device for more information. 

7. 

WARNING

: Before bathing or showering 

always check the water temperature. Do 
not leave children or the infirm 
unsupervised in the shower or bath. The 
water temperature is set at 120º F (50º C) 
from the factory to maximize the amount of 
hot water you can use. Water temperature 
over 125º F can cause severe burns 
instantly or death from scalds. 

8. 

WARNING

: Do not use this appliance if 

any part has been underwater. 
Immediately call a certified and trained 
technician to inspect and service the unit if 
necessary. 

9. 

WARNING

: Do not store or use gasoline or 

other flammable vapors or liquids in the 
vicinity of this or any other appliance. 

10. 

WARNING

: Do not reverse the water and 

gas connections, this will damage your 
heater and can cause severe injury or 
death from scalds. Follow the diagram 
below when installing your Flash water 
heater.
