When Servicing The Water Heating System; Heater Water; Freeze Protection - HTP Everlast 2.5 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

DO NOT USE THIS WATER HEATER IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call
a qualifi ed service technician. The water heater MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to
operate a water heater that has been submerged could create numerous harmful conditions, such as a potential
gas leakage causing a fi re and/or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful particulates into
the air. Operating a previously submerged water heater could result in property damage, severe personal injury,
or death.
NOTE: Water heater damage due to fl ood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under
product warranty.
Do not use this water heater for anything other than its intended purpose (as described in this manual). Doing
so could result in property damage and WILL VOID product warranty.
High heat sources (sources generating heat 100
damage plastic components of the water heater as well as plastic vent pipe materials. Such damages ARE NOT
covered by warranty. It is recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8" from high heat sources. Observe
heat source manufacturer instructions, as well as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations
and ordinances when installing this water heater and related components near high heat sources.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this heater that has not been used for a long
period of time (generally 2 weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely fl ammable. To reduce the risk of injury
under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the
kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen gas is present,
there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to fl ow. There
should be no smoking or open fl ame near the faucet at the time it is open. Failure to follow these instructions
will result in serious personal injury or death.
A. When Servicing the Water Heating System

property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing maintenance.
NOTE: When inquiring about service or troubleshooting, reference the model and serial numbers from the water
heater rating label.
To avoid severe burns, allow water heater and associated equipment to cool before servicing.
Tank failure due to neglecting the anode rod is not covered under warranty. See Maintenance, this manual.
B. Heater Water
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in a water heating system. Gaskets and seals in the
system may be damaged. This can result in substantial property damage.
Do not use "homemade cures" or "patent medicines". Damage to the water heater, substantial property damage,
and/or serious personal injury may result.
C. Freeze Protection
NOTE: Consider piping and installation when determining heater location.
Failure of the water heater due to freeze related damage IS NOT covered by product warranty.
NEVER use any toxic chemical, including automotive, standard glycol antifreeze, or ethylene glycol made for
hydronic (non-potable) systems. These chemicals can attack gaskets and seals in water systems, are poisonous
if consumed, and can cause personal injury or death.
