This water heater is equipped with built-
in leak detection and automatic water
shut off valve. The leak detection device
(LeakSense

) detects the presence of
water and immediately alerts the elec-
tronic control as the EcoNet app on the
cellular phone. When water is detected,
the electronic controls will shut down
the heating elements and the automatic
water shut off valve closes. Please see
more details on servicing on page 17.
Self Check

a self check feature which runs every 30

the water heater will be DISABLED.
The water heater gives alert when the
automatic water shut off valve fails to
close.
