DANGER
 
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible, or corrosive vapors and/or liquids in the vicinity of this or 
any other appliance. 
DO NOT install any damaged venting system components.  If damage is evident then please contact the supplier where 
the water heater was purchased or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement parts. 
Use only vent terminals provided or factory authorized terminals for venting this water heater. 
This water heater is equipped with an adjustable thermostat to control water temperature.  Hot water temperatures 
required for automatic dishwasher and laundry use can cause scald burns resulting in serious personal injury and/or 
death.  The temperature at which injury occurs varies with the person’s age and the time of exposure.  The slower 
response time of disabled persons increases the hazards to them.  NEVER allow small children to use a hot water tap, 
or to draw their own bath water.  NEVER leave a child or disabled person unattended in a bathtub or shower. 
Failure to properly install the vent and air intake (if applicable) system could result in property damage, personal injury, 
or death

of this water heater. 
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are properly operating

convert this water heater for use with a gas other than the type for which it is equipped.  Failure to use the proper gas
