3.1 Installation Instructions
The location chosen for the water heater must take
into consideration the following:
Local Installation Regulations
This water heater must be installed in accordance
with these instructions, local codes, utility codes,
utility company requirements or, in the absence of
local codes, the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code. It is available from some local
libraries or can be purchased from the National Fire
Prevention Association, Batterymarch park, Quincy,
MA 02169 as booklet ANSI/NFPA 70.
Power Requirements
Check the markings on the rating plate of the water
heater to be certain the power supply corresponds
to the water heater requirements.
Location
The water heater and water lines should be
protected from freezing temperatures and high-
corrosive atmospheres. Do not install the water
heater in outdoor, unprotected areas.
Locate the water heater in a clean dry area as near
as practical to the area of greatest heated water
demand. Long uninsulated hot water lines can
waste energy and water. Unit must be installed in a
level location. If required, add shims under base of
unit to level for proper operation.
NOTICE
This unit is designed for any common
indoor installation.

Servicing the water heater requires proper
installation such that front panels can be removed
to permit inspection and servicing. Reference
installation instructions found in this manual.
Moving the water heater or other appliances to
provide service to the water heater is not covered
under warranty.
CAUTION
Risk of Property Damage The water heater
should not be located in an area where
leakage of the tank or connections will
result in damage to the area adjacent to it
or to lower floors of the structure. Where
such areas cannot be avoided, it is
recommended that a suitable catch pan,
adequately drained, be installed under the
water heater.
Required clearances:
There must be sufficient clearance between any
object and the top, rear and sides of the water
heater in the event service is needed. The controls
and drain at front of unit must have clear access for
operation and service. Installations that require
minimal clearance on the sides or rear of the water
heater for earthquake straps are also acceptable.
In these cases, additional clearance should be
provided on the opposite side of the unit to allow
for service access.
