General remarks
CAUTION
The manufacturer cannot be responsible for the damages caused by improper
installation or by failure to follow instructions in this manual. Comply with the
installation instructions before completing electric connection.
CAUTION
The thermostat has been pre-set at the factory at or below 51.7 °C (125° F).
CAUTION
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this heater that has not
been used for a long period of time (generally 2 weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is
extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, 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 gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping
through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame
near the faucet at the time.
CAUTION
Any water heater should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak, the resulting
flow of water will not cause damage to the area in which it is installed. National Plumbing
codes require a drain pan for any water heater installation. Failure to install one is the
sole responsibility of owner and/or installer. Reference UPC 2000 (Uniform Plumbing
Code) Section 510- Protection from Damage or IPC 2000 (International Plumbing Code)
Section 504- Safety Devices.
