Explanation of symbols and safety information
▶ Failure to replace the anode rod at
least once every two years may cause
the tank to fail and leak. We also
recommend inspecting the anode rod
annually and replacing it immediately
if it is corroded or pitted. Damage
caused by not maintaining the anode
rod is not covered under the
manufacturer's warranty.
▶ Any water heater should be installed
in such a manner that if it should leak,
the resulting flow of water will not
cause damage to the area in which it is
installed. National Plumbing codes
require a drain pan for any water
heater installation. Failure to install
one is the sole responsibility of owner
and/or installer. Reference UPC 2006
(Uniform Plumbing Code) Section
508.1, or IPC 2006 (International
Plumbing Code) Section 504.7.
NOTICE:
▶ The installer should review the contents of this manual with
the owner upon completion of installation, and the manual
should be left with the owner and placed in a location close
to the installation.
NOTICE:
▶ The manufacturer is not responsible for the damages
caused by improper installation or by failure to follow
instructions in this manual. Comply with the installation
instructions before completing electric connection.

DANGER:
▶ Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system
served by this heater that has not been used for a long
period of time (generally 2 weeks or more). Hydrogen gas
is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under
these conditions, it is recommended that the hot water
faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink
before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot
water system. If hydrogen gas is present, there will
probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through
the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no
smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
CAUTION:
▶ Any water heater should be installed in such a manner that
if it should leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause
damage to the area in which it is installed. National
Plumbing codes require a drain pan for any water heater
installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of
owner and/or installer. Reference UPC 2006 (Uniform
Plumbing Code) Section 508.1, or IPC 2006 (International
Plumbing Code) Section 504.7.
