• Page 9 - English - : Mineral Buildup or Sediment MayAccumulate This causes the water heater to become much heavier than normal Ifspilled could causestaining Mineral buildup or sediment may have accumulated in the old water heater This causes the water heater to be much heavier than normal and this residue if spilled out could cause staining Facts to Consider About the Location You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater because the placement is a very important consideration for the safetyof the occupants in the building and forthe most economical use of the appliance This water heater is not intended for outdoor installation Whether replacing anold water heater or putting thewater heater in a new location the following critical points must be observed Select alocation near the center of the water piping system The unit must be installed indoors and in avertical position on a level surface The flooring beneath the water heater must be able to support the weight of the water heater when filled with water See Table 1 IMPORTANT The water heater mustbe located in a space 750 cubic feet or larger and must have unrestricted airflow As an example a room that has an 8 foot tall ceiling and is 10 feet long by 912 feet wide would contain 760 cubic feet NOTE For optimal efficiency and serviceability the following clearances should be maintained 3 feet on the air inlet side 5 feet on the air outletside 6 inches inthe back 4 inches above and2 feet in the front The water heater should be located in an area not subject tofreezing temperatures Water heaters located in unconditioned spaces ie garages basements etc may require the water piping condensate piping and drain piping to be insulated to shelter against freezing The drain and controls must be easily accessible for operation and service The site location must be free from any corrosive elements in the atmosphere such as sulfur fluorine and chlorine These elements are found in aerosol sprays detergents bleaches cleaning solvents air fresheners paint and vamish removers refrigerants and many other commercial and household products In addition excessive dust and lint may affect the operation of the unit See quotCleaning the Filterquotsection The ambient airtemperature must also be considered when installing this unit In Efficiency Mode the ambient air temperature must be above 45F and below 109R If the ambient air temperature falls outside these upper and lower limits the electrical elements wilt activate to meet the hot water demand and the heat pump does not operate NOTE Local codes and requirements in your area may require the installation of your water heater be accomplished in a way that the bottom element iselevated from the floor at least 18 inches Ensure that a platform capable of supporting the combined weight of the water heater andwater is used Reference Table 1 TABLE 1 Capacity Weight filled with water 60 Gallon 760 Ibs 80 Gallon 967 Ibs This water heater as welt as all water heaters wilt eventually leak Do not install without adequate drainage provisions so water flow will not cause damage Property Damage Hazard All water heaters eventually leak Do not install without adequate drainage WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak the flow of water wilt not cause damage to the structure When such locations cannot be avoided a suitable metal drain pan should be installed under the water heater Drain pans are available at your local Sears stores Such drain pans must be piped to an adequate drain Water heater life depends upon water quality water pressure and the environment in which the water heater is installed Water heaters are sometimes installed in locations where leakage may result in property damage even with the use of a metal drain pan piped to a drain However unanticipated damage can be reduced or prevented by a leak detector or water shutoff device used in conjunction with a piped metal drain pan These devices are available from some plumbing supply wholesalers and retailers and detect and react to leakage in various ways Sensors mounted inthe metaldrain panthattrigger analarm or tum offthe incomingwater tothewater heaterwhen leakage isdetected Sensors mounted in the metal drain pan that turn off the water supply to the entire home when water is detected in the drain pan Water supply shutoff devices that activate based on the water pressure differential between the cold water and hot water pipes connected to the water heater Installations in Residential Garages Water heater must be located in a protective area INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES The water heater must be located andor protected so it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle The location selection must provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater Insulation Blankets The use of an insulation blanket on this water heater is not needed or recommended The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank heaters Your water heater meets or exceeds the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements making an insulation blanket unnecessary
