Δ DO NOT over-tighten ttings, as pipe and/or tting
damage may occur causing leakage.
Δ DO NOT install the water heater where it is
subject to vibrations.
Δ Should overheating occur or the gas supply fails
to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve
to the appliance. Contact a Service Technician
immediately.
Δ Clearance must be in accordance with the local
installation codes and the requirements of the gas
supplier.
Δ Never operate the water heater unless it is vented
to the outdoors and has adequate air supply to
avoid risks of improper operation, re, explosion
or asphyxiation.
Δ DO NOT install this water heater directly on a
carpeted oor. A re hazard may result. The
water heater must be installed and adequately
supported on a metal or wood panel extending
beyond the full width and depth of the water
heater by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any
direction.
Δ For safe operation, an ample supply of air
must be provided for proper combustion and
ventilation in accordance with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 National Fuel
Gas Code CSA/B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the
local building codes. An insufcient supply of air
may result in a yellow, luminous burner ame,
carboning or sooting of the heat exchanger, or
create a risk of asphyxiation. Do not obstruct the
ow of combustion and ventilation air.
Δ This unit is not intended to operate at gas supply
pressures other than those shown on the rating
plate. Exposure to higher gas supply pressure
may cause damage to gas valves, which can
result in re or explosion. If over-pressure has
occurred, such as through improper testing of
gas lines or emergency malfunction of the supply
system, the gas valve must be checked for safe
operation.
A thermostatic mixing valve must be added
to this system to prevent scalding, and as
per local codes and authorities.
1.2.2 Check The Rating Plate
ΔGlow T180 water heaters come from the factory
congured for use with natural gas or propane.
Prior to installation, check the rating plate of
the water heater to ensure the unit matches
gas type, gas pressure, water pressure and
electrical supply. If the unit does not match the
requirements, do not install.
Δ There is a risk in using fuel burning appliances in
rooms or areas where gasoline, other ammable
liquids or gas engine equipment or vehicles
are stored, operate or are repaired. Flammable
vapors are heavy and travel along the oor and
may be ignited by the igniter or main burner
ames causing re or explosion. Some local
codes permit operation of gas appliances if
installed 18 inches or more above the oor.
Flammable items, pressurized containers or any
other potential re hazardous articles must never
be placed on or adjacent to the water heater.
Open containers of ammable materials should
not be stored or used in the same room with the
water heater.
Δ DO NOT install the Glow T180 water heater in
areas with excessive high humidity.
Δ DO NOT install the unit in locations where there
is excessive humidity, such as a bathroom, damp
crawl space and other areas with high levels of
humidity. This may cause the unit to malfunction.
Δ To avoid possible electrical shock, DO NOT touch
the internal components of the water heater or the
power cord with wet hands.
Δ DO NOT splash excessive water on the water
heater when cleaning, as it is water resistant, not
water proof.
Δ Professionally qualied personnel in accordance
with current laws and standards and in line with
the manufacturer’s instructions must install the
appliance.
Δ The commissioning of the water heater and any
subsequent works carried out on the appliance
must be performed by an appropriately qualied
technician.
Δ The appliance must be used solely for the
purpose for which it has been designed and
manufactured: Domestic hot water production

point of 63°C/145°F). Any other use is deemed
as improper and as such dangerous. Under no
circumstances will the manufacturer be held
responsible for damage or injury to persons or
animals caused by errors in the installation and/or
use of the appliance, or through non-compliance
with current local and national standards and/or
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Δ The installation, operation and maintenance
manual are an integral and essential part of the
product and must be kept with the appliance
always.
Δ The warnings contained in this chapter have been
written for the appliance user, the installer and the
service technician.
