3. Selecting an Installation Location

• This Water Heater is designed for indoor installation only.
• It should not be installed in a location where it might be subjected to freezing temperatures as the freezing of the water in the Water
Heater can lead to severe and irreversible damages which are not covered under your warranty.
• The Water Heater should not be placed in a location that is difficult to access.
WARNING: Ensure that the water heater, as well as the power supplies and water connections, are out of reach of children
•
as the outlet water pipe can get very hot and touching can lead to injury.
• Avoid installing your tankless water heater in a location prone to excessive humidity, moisture, or dust, or in an area where it may
be splashed with water or other liquids.
WARNING: DO NOT install underwater pipes or air conditioning lines that might leak or condense moisture that could then
drip onto the heater.
WARNING: DO NOT install above electrical boxes or junctions.
• Do not install in areas which can be damaged due to leakage from the Water Heater. However, safety measure such as suitable drip
pan or an active water leak detector and shutoff valve should be installed in such areas that cannot be avoided.

with connections facing up or sideways with connections facing right or left.
WARNING: Do not install the unit above electrical boxes or junctions.

these flammable materials at least two feet away from the heater and the hot water outlet pipe. The water heater and the hot water
outlet pipe must be secured, and out of children's reach to prevent tampering with controls or contact with an extremely hot pipe.
6. If installing the heater on an upper floor or attic, make sure installation complies with the local codes. Install a drip pan with
drainage, or a leak detector and automatic shutoff valve, to prevent damage in case of any leakage.
