OPERATION
WARNING
HOUSEHOLDS WITH SMALL CHILDREN OR ELDERLY PERSONS MAY REQUIRE
WATEER TEMPERATURES OF 125°F OR LOWER TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
SCALDING FROM CONTACT WITH THE WATER.
1) Completely open both the inlet and outlet ball valves at the unit.
2) Open all hot water outlet serviced by the unit. If the outlet is a mixer type adjust to the hottest
position. Run water until flow is continuous at all outlets.
3) Switch on electric supply at the circuit breaker panel. The power indicator light on the unit should
now illuminate. NOTE: Water temperature may not be hot at this time.
4) Using the outlet BALL VALVE, slowly reduce the water flow until the desired water temperature is
achieved at the hot water outlet. This should be 120°F to 140°F without mixing with cold water.
5) Turn the temperature adjustment screw counter-clockwise about 1/8 of a turn. Wait 10-15 seconds
for the indicator light to begin pulsing. If the indicator does not pulse, turn the temperature adjustment
screw counter-clockwise another 1/8 of a turn. Again, wait 10-15 seconds for the indicator light to
begin pulsing. Repeat until the indicator light is pulsing regularly. This indicates that the temperature
has stabilized at the set temperature. Check that the water temperature is sufficient for the application.
The thermostat is now set and the water temperature will remain constant when the indicator light is
pulsing.
6) Check the performance of the flow switch by opening and closing the faucet a few times.THE POWER,
INDICATOR LIGHT SHOULD ONLY ILLUMINATE WHEN WATER IS FLOWING THROUGH THE UNIT.
7) For accurate water temperature control at a mixer type faucet (single spout ), the cold water supply to
the faucet should be restricted to give approximately the same flow rate of cold water to the faucet as
the hot water exiting the unit.The simplest method of achieving this is by partially closing the cold
water valve under the sink.
8) Drawing off cold water at comparatively high rates of flow elsewhere in the building while unit is
heating water may starve the unit of supply water. This may result in premature element failure. Care
should be taken not to starve the unit of cold water. To prevent this from happening, open fully the
main valve in the cold water supply to the building and throttle back the control valves to the other cold
water outlets.
