WARNING This water heater needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Insufficient air supply will cause a recirculation of combustion products resulting in contamination that may be hazardous to life. This will result in carboning or sooting of the combustion chamber, burners, and flue tubes and creates a risk of asphyxiation. This water heater requires its own separate venting system. DO NOT connect t

MECHANICAL EXHAUSTING OF ROOM AIR 1. Where an exhaust fan is installed in the same room with this water heater and combustion air is drawn from inside the room, sufficient openings for air must be provided in the walls. UNDERSIZED OPENINGS WILL CAUSE AIR TO BE DRAWN INTO THE ROOM THROUGH THE WATER HEATER’S VENTING SYSTEM, CAUSING POOR COMBUSTION THAT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO LIFE. SOOTING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE WATER HEATER AND RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION WHICH CAN ALSO CREATE A
