IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Be sure to read and understand the entire Use and Care Manual before attempting to install or operate
this water heater. It may save you time and money. Pay particular attention to the Safety Instructions.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious bodily injury or death. Should you have
problems understanding the instructions in this manual, or have any questions, STOP, and get help

ADANGER!
INSTALL THE DRAFT HOOD AND PROPERLY VENT THE
WATER HEATER...
Failure to install the draft hood and properly vent the water heater to the outdoors as
outlined in the Venting Section of the Installation Instructions in this manual can result in
unsafe operation of the water heater. To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation
from carbon monoxide, never operate this water heater unless it is properly vented and
has an adequate air supply for proper operation. Be sure to inspect the vent system
for proper installation at initial start-up; and at least annually thereafter. Refer to the
Care and Cleaning section of this manual for more information regarding vent system
inspection.
AwARNING!
Gasoline, as well as other flammable materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, paint
thinners etc.), and the vapors they produce are extremely dangerous. DO NOT handle,
use or store gasoline or other flammable or combustible materials anywhere near or in the
vicinity of a water heater or any other appliance. Be sure to read and follow warning label
pictured below and other labels on the water heater, as well as the warnings printed in
this manual. Failure to do so can result in property damage, bodily injury or death.

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (LP - PROPANE OR BUTANE)
AND NATURAL GAS MODELS
LP and Natural gas have an odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak. Some people
may not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or
unfamiliar with the smell of LP or natural gas, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions,
such as "odorant fade",which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide or
camouflage a gas leak.

AWARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of
life.
FOR INSTALLATIONS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
California Law requires that residential water heaters must be braced, anchored or
strapped to resist falling or horizontal displacement due to earthquake motions. For
residential water heaters up to 52-gallon capacity, a brochure with generic earthquake
bracing instructions can be obtained from: Office of the State Architect, 1102 Q Street,
Suite 5100, Sacramento, CA 95814 or you may call 916-445-8100 or ask a water heater
dealer.
However, applicable local codes shall govern installation. For residential water heaters
of a capacity greater than 52 gallons, consult the local building jurisdiction for acceptable
bracing procedures.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off
if necessary. Turn off the manual shut-off valve if the water heater has been subjected to
overheating, fire, flood,physical damage or if the gas supply fails to shut off.

Operating the water heater.
A CAUTION:Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater that has not been used for a
long period of time(generally two weeks or more).HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!!To dissipate such
gas and to reduce risk of injury,it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink
before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system.If hydrogen is present,there will be an unusual sound
such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow.DO NOT smoke or use an open flame near the faucet at the
time it is open.
