 MINIMUM CLEARANCES 
 

Failure to adhere to these installation and operating instructions may 
create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the warranty. 

 
This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and 
adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this water 
heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or non-
combustible floor.  If the water heater is to be installed directly on carpeting, it 
shall be installed on top of a metal or wood panel (or equivalent) extending 
beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches 
(7.6 cm) in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or 
closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel.  If the rating plate or 
the label on the front of the heater specifies minimum clearances less 
than those listed in the below table, the water heater may be installed in 
accordance with the minimum clearances listed on the rating plate or 
the label on the front of the heater. 
 
If it is necessary to install this water heater in an alcove, use the clearances 
listed in Figure 1.
