What to expect for “normal startup”
After the unit has been installed, with all electrical and water connections secure and checked, the unit should be
filled with water (vent tank by opening a hot water faucet somewhere in home to allow tank to fully fill with water).
Once tank is full and power is ON, the user must press the POWER button on the user interface. When the red light
on the upper left portion of the power button comes on, the heater is on and is ready to begin heating.
