OWNER ONLY in accordance with the warranty terms and

conditions specied below.

in this water heater leaks and, 2) a replacement part for

any component part which fails. Sacricial anode rods are

consumable maintenance parts and are excluded from

warranty coverage.

THE A. O. SMITH REPLACEMENT MODEL OR PART WILL

BE WARRANTED FOR ONLY THE UNEXPIRED PORTION

OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. The warranty period will

be determined by the original date of purchase of the water

heater, or in the absence of a Bill of Sale verifying said date,

from the date of manufacture indicated on rating plate afxed

to this water heater. This warranty is not transferrable and

applies to models listed below:

For the rst year only, warrantor will provide for onsite service

or labor to replace a defective part or tank using a factory

shall be reduced to 1 year for all models.

CONDITIONS AND EXCEPTIONS

installed and operated in accordance with 1) all local re

codes and plumbing codes, ordinances and regulations,

2) the printed instructions provided with it, 3) good industry

practices, and 4) proper safety practices such as but not

limited to a properly sized metal drain pan if installed in an

area where leakage from the tank or its connections would

result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater.

In addition, a new temperature and pressure relief valve,

certied by the Canadian Standards Association, must have

been properly installed and piped to the nearest drain.

This warranty shall apply only when the water heater is:

• owned by the original purchaser;

• installed for indoor operation only;

• used at temperatures not exceeding the maximum

calibrated setting of its thermostat;

• used at water pressure not exceeding the working

pressure shown on the water heater;

• lled with potable water, free to circulate at all times

and with the tank free of damaging water sediment

or scale deposits;

atmosphere;

• in its original installation location;

• in the United States, its territories or possessions, or

Canada;

• operated at the factory rated input;

• installed with no attempted, nor actual modication

or alteration of the water heater’s design in any way,

including but not limited to, the attachment of

including any additional aftermarket equipment

introduced into the sealed system.

Any accident to the water heater or any part thereof (including

freezing, re, oods, or lightning), any misuse, abuse or

alteration of it, any operation of it in a modied form, any

operation of the water heater on desalinated (deionized) water,

or any damage caused by attempts to repair tank leaks or

parts, will void this warranty. This warranty does not cover

water heaters replaced for cosmetic reasons or for reasons of

noise, taste, odor, discolored and/or rusty water. This warranty

does not apply to water heaters used to heat pools, whirlpools

or hot tubs or used for space heating where its sizing does

not conform with the specications of both the warrantor and

have other rights which vary under the laws of each state. If

any provision of this warranty is prohibited or invalid under

applicable state law, that provision shall be ineffective to the

extent of the prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the
