GENERAL INFORMATION This electric w ater heater’ s design is certified by INTERTEK (ETL) and listed in accordance w ith UL 174. CETL listed in accordance w ith Canadian National Standard C22.2, No. 110-M90. This w ater heater must be installed in accordance w ith local codes. In the absence of local codes, install this w ater heater in accordance w ith the N.E.C. Reference Book (latest edition).
General Information continued- IMPORTANT Before proceeding, please inspect the w ater heater and it’ s components for possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is evident, please contact the supplier w here the w ater heater w as purchased or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement parts. WARNING This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.
Locating The Water Heater continued- Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating and breakdow n of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, sw imming pool chemicals, calcium or sodium chloride, w axes and process chemicals.
Water Connections NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE. After shutting the main w ater supply valve, open a faucet to relieve the w ater line pressure to prevent any w ater from leaking out of the pipes w hile making the w ater connections to the w ater heater. After the pressure has been relieved, close the faucet. The COLD w ater inlet and HOT w ater outlet are identified on top of the w ater heater.
Water Connections continued- WARNING For protection against excessive temperatures and pressure, install temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the Requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.
Water Connections continued- WARNING Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. 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.
Water Connections continued- The hot and cold w ater connections are identified on the top of the w ater heater. Connect the hot and cold w ater lines to the installed nipples using unions. Install a listed temperature-pressure relief valve in the opening on the top of the w ater heater. A special w all mounting kit is available by contacting the manufacturer listed on the rating plate.
Electrical Connections continuedRecommended Fuse size Voltage Max.
Thermostat Adjustment CAUTION Before adjusting thermostat(s), turn off power supply to the water heater. The temperature of the w ater can be changed by adjusting the thermostat(s). Before any w ork is done on the w ater heater, disconnect all pow er to the w ater heater by opening the sw itch at the main electrical circuit breaker or fuse box. Remove the access panels or front panel on tabletops, fold the insulation outw ard aw ay from the controls.
Maintenance continued- IMPORTANT The w ater heater should be inspected at a minimum of annually by a qualified service technician for damaged components. DO NOT operate this w ater heater if any part is found damaged. Shut off the electric pow er w henever the w ater supply to the w ater heater is off. Shut off the electric pow er and w ater supply, Check the temperature-pressure relief valve to insure that the valve has not become encrusted w ith lime.
Maintenance continued- 4. If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve on the appliance discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed w ater supply system. Contact the w ater supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. Do not plug the combination temperature and pressure relief valve outlet for any reason. 5. A combination sacrificial anode rod/hot w ater outlet nipple has been installed to extend tank life.
Maintenance continued- READ THE WARRANTY FOR A FULL EXPLANATION OF THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT PARTS AND THE WATER HEATER ARE WARRANTED. Manufactured under one or more of the follow ing U.S.
