GENERAL INFORMATION This electric water heater’s design is certified by INTERTEK (ETL) and listed in accordance with UL 174. CETL listed in accordance with Canadian National Standard C22.2, No. 110-M90. This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, install this water heater in accordance with the N.E.C. Reference Book (latest edition).
General Information continued- IMPORTANT Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and it’s components for possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is evident, please contact the supplier where the water heater was 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 breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium or sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals. These materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no odor to reveal their presence.
Water Connections NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE. After shutting the main water supply valve, open a faucet to relieve the water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes while making the water connections to the water heater. After the pressure has been relieved, close the faucet. The COLD water inlet and HOT water outlet are identified on top of the water 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 water connections are identified on the top of the water heater. Connect the hot and cold water lines to the installed nipples using unions. Install a listed temperature-pressure relief valve in the opening on the top of the water heater. A special wall mounting kit is available by contacting the manufacturer listed on the rating plate.
Electrical Connections continued- Max.
Thermostat Adjustment CAUTION Before adjusting thermostat(s), turn off power supply to the water heater. The temperature of the water can be changed by adjusting the thermostat(s). Before any work is done on the water heater, disconnect all power to the water heater by opening the switch at the main electrical circuit breaker or fuse box. Remove the access panels or front panel on tabletops, fold the insulation outward away from the controls.
Maintenance continued- IMPORTANT The water heater should be inspected at a minimum of annually by a qualified service technician for damaged components. DO NOT operate this water heater if any part is found damaged. Shut off the electric power whenever the water supply to the water heater is off. Shut off the electric power and water supply, Check the temperaturepressure relief valve to insure that the valve has not become encrusted with 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 water supply system. Contact the water 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 water 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 following U.S.
