_lLVapors from flammable liquids will
explode and catch fire causing death or
severe burns.
Do not use or store flammable products
such as gasoline, solvents or adhesives
in the same room or area near the water
heater.
Keep flammable products:
1. far away from heater
2. in approved containers,
3. tightly closed and
4. out of children's reach.
Water heater has a main burner and pilot
flame. The pilot flame:
1. is on all the time and
2. will ignite flammable vapors.
Vapors:
1. cannot be seen,
2. are heavier than air,
3. go a long way on the floor and
4. can be carried from other rooms to
the pilot flame by air currents.
Do not install this water where flammable
products will be stored.
Location Requirements
Carbon Dioxide Poisoning Hazard
Do not install in a mobile home.
Doing so can result in death or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
The Flame Lock TM safety system is designed to reduce
the risk of flammable vapor related fires. The patented
system protects your family by trapping the burning
vapors within the water heater combustion chamber
through the special flame-trap. The burning vapors
literally "burn themselves out" without escaping back
into the room. In the event of a flammable vapor
incident, the Flame Lock TM safety system shuts off the
gas supply to the water heater's burner and pilot
preventing re-ignition of any remaining flammable
vapors in the area. This will permanently disable the
water heater.
Although this water heater is equipped with the Flame
Lock TM safety system, areas where flammable liquids
(gasoline, solvents, liquid propane, butane, etc.) or
other substances which emit flammable vapors are
stored are not suitable for water heater installation.
Never store or use flammable substances in the same
room or area containing a gas water heater. If such
flammables must be used, all gas burning appliances in
the vicinity must be shut off and their pilot lights
extinguished. Open the doors and windows for
ventilation while flammable substances are in use.
If flammable liquids or vapors have spilled or leaked in
the area of the water heater, leave the area immediately
and call the fire department from a neighbor's home. Do
not attempt to clean the spill until all ignition sources
have been extinguished.
Site Location
Select a location near the center of the water piping
system. The water heater must be installed indoors
and in a vertical position on a level surface.
Locate the water heater as close to the chimney or
gas vent as practical. Consider the vent system
piping and combustion air supply requirements
when selecting the water heater location. The
venting system must be able to run from the water
heater to termination with minimal length and
elbows.
* Locate the water heater near the existing gas
piping. If installing a new gas line, locate the water
heater to minimize the pipe length and elbows.
Note: The water heater must be installed according to
all local and state codes or in absence of the local and
state codes with the "National Fuel Gas Code", ANSI
Z223.1 (NFPA54)-Iatest edition.
