CARING FOR YOUR WATER HEATER
CAUTION: Even when drained
properly, a small amount of water will remain in
the water heater. In cold weather conditions, this
water can freeze. If this happens, allow the defrost
protection on the water heater at least 30 minutes
to melt the frozen water. The water heater will not
work properly until this water is thawed.
To put the water heater back in service:
Disconnect drain hose. Make sure the drain
valve is closed.
Reinstall the water filter in the base of the cold
water inlet line.
Open the water shut-off valve.
Open all hot water faucets and let run until all
air has been purged from the lines.
Plug in the power cord or reconnect the power
supply at the circuit breaker box.
Open the gas shut-off valve(s).
Press the POWER ON/OFF button on the
control panel to restart the unit.
