LIQUEFIEDPETROLEUMMODELS-- Propane,or LP gas,
must be used w_thgreat taut'on.
•It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower areas
making if hard to detect at nose level.
•Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before
attempting to light appliance. Use a soapy solution to
check aJl gas fittings and connections. B_bbiing at a
connection indicates aleak that must be corrected.
When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff
near the floor too.
, Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications
and their installation should be in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations and/or local laws,
rules, regulations or customs.
• It is recommended that more than one method be used
to detect leaks in LP applications.
IF LP GAS IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:
•DO MOT attempt to find the cause yourself;
•DO NOT try to light any appliance;
•DO NOT touch any electrical switch;
•DO NOTuse any phone in your building,
•Leave the house immediately and make sure your
family and pets leave also.
•Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the
gas supplier, aqualified service agency or the fire
department,
• Keep the area clear until the service call has been
made, the leak ]s corrected, and a qualified agency has
determined the area to be safe.
I WARNINGI
Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to help
detection, Some people may not physically be able to
smell or recognize this odorant. It unsure or unfamigar
about the smell associated with LP or natural gas, ask the
gas supplier. Other conditions, such as "Odorant Fade",
which causes the odorant to "fade", or diminish ]n
intensity can also hide or camouflage agas leak.
Water heaters utilizing Liquefied Petroleum gas {LP) are
different from nafural gas models. Anatural gas heater will
not function safely on LP gas and vice versa. No attempt
should ever be made to convert aheater from natural gas
to LP gas. To avoid possible equ[pmest damage, personal
injury or fire', DO NOT connect this water heater to a fuel
typeno m accodancewth umtdataplate.Propanefor
propane units. Natural gas for natural gas units. These
units are not certh'iedfor any other type fuel,

General Safety Precautions
WATER TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT - Safety and
energy conservation are factors to be considered when
selecting the water temperature sening of water heater's
thermostat. Water temperatures above 125°F. can cause
severe burns or death from scalding. Be sure to read and
foltew tbe warnings outlined on the label pictured below.
NOTE: Households with small children, disabled, or elderly
persons may require a 120°F, or lower thermostat setting
to prevent contact with "HOT" water.
Water temperature over 125°F can
cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly are
at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before
setting temperature at water
heater.
Feel water before bathing or
showering,
Temperaturelimitingvalvesare
available, see manual.

Mixing valves for reducing point of use water temperature
by mixing hot and cold water in branch water nnes are
available. Contact a licensed plumber or the local
