1. Choose a location to place the appliance, based on the
following criteria:
− DO NOT install on the rear or front of the RV to
minimize contamination from road grim, debris and wet
roads when traveling.
− Do not install the appliance in an outdoor enclosed
area.
− DO NOT install the appliance in any location where the
exhaust vent may be covered or obstructed when a
swing door, bag door, slide out, pop up, etc. is partially
or fully extended.
− DO NOT install this appliance on any door or slide out
area.
− Do not install the appliance where the access door is
less than
- 9" (229mm) from any opening into the vehicle
- 36" (914) from any motor driven air intake
- 36" (914mm) from the any gas tank connection or
ventilation.
NOTE: These are guidelines, refer to NFP1192, Z240
RV edition for specific requirements.
− Choose a convenient location where supply water, LP
gas, and 12V DC is accessible to the back side of the
appliance for installation and servicing.
− The water heater is designed to be installed on a flat
floor (made of Wood or Linoleum) or a fixed platform.
− It is recommended that the appliance be located in a
central location to the hot water loads.
− Choose a location where clearances to combustible
surfaces and the appliance are:
- 1" to top surface.
- 0" to all other surfaces.
NOTE: To install on a carpeted area, a metal or wood panel that
extends at least 3 inches beyond the width and depth of the water
heater is required to install under the unit.
