Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on
your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.

you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either
the word "DANGER" or "WARNING". These words mean:
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to
reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions
are not followed.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The water heater must exhaust
combustion gases outside.
The exhaust duct must be installed
by qualified personnel in strict
observance of the installation
instructions.
Examples of qualified personnel: gas
technicians, authorized personnel
from the gas supplier company,
authorized service personnel.
Failure to follow these instructions
may result in death or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Special recommendations
During operation, gas combustion will
consume a large amount of air and
produce carbon monoxide (CO).

Hazard
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless
gas and causes no irritation, so its
presence is not easily detected.
Inhaling this gas in large amounts can
cause carbon monoxide poisoning and
even death.
Users are asked to install and use the
water heater according to this manual to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
The manufacturer or its authorized
distributors assume no responsibility for
any damage resulting from installation and
operations that do not comply with the
provisions of this manual.
It should be paid special attention to the
flame back combustion when the gas
pressure is insufficient. This causes the
carbon deposit on the burner to increase
and affect the product normal operation.
In such case, should the flame becomes
yellow, the amount of carbon monoxide
increases. Stop using the water heater
and contact the Whirlpool Service Center.
The water heater must be installed
vertically.
