Choosing Installation Site
* Locate the appliance in an area where leakage from the unit or connections will not result in damage
to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the lower floors of the structure. When such locations
cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed
under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
• Install the exhaust vent (terminal) so that there are no obstacles around the termination and so that
exhaust can't accumulate. Do not enclose the termination with corrugated metal or other materials.
• Model NR71-OD, NR66-OD is for outdoor installation only. Never install it indoors.
Do not enclose the termination with corrugated metal or other materials.
This will cause carbon monoxide poisoning and a potential fire hazard.
• Avoid places where fires are common, such as those where gasoline,
benzene and adhesives are handled, or places in which corrosive gases
(ammonia, chlorine, sulfur, ethylene compounds, acids) are present.
Using the incorrect voltage may result in fire or cracking.
• Avoid installation in places where dust or debris will accumulate.
Dust may block the air-supply opening, causing the performance of the
device fan to drop and incomplete combustion to occur as a result.
• Avoid installation in places where special chemical agents
(e.g., hair spray or spray detergent) are used.
Ignition failures and malfunction may occur as a result.
[NR71-SV, NR66-SV only]
• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard. Do not install this water heater in a
mobile home, recreation vehicle or on a boat.
[NR71-OD, NR66-OD only]
• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard. Do not install this water heater in a
recreational vehicle or on a boat.
• Install the water heater in a location where it is free from obstacles and stagnant air.
• Consult with the customer concerning the location of installation.
• Do not install the water heater near staircases or emergency exits.
• Do not install the water heater where the exhaust will blow on outer walls or material
not resistant to heat. Also consider the surrounding trees and animals.
The heat and moisture from the water heater may cause discoloration of walls and
resinous materials, or corrosion of aluminum materials.
• Do not locate the vent termination directed towards a window or any other structure
which has glass or wired glass facing the termination.
