FILLING THE WATER HEATER
CAUTION!
: Before plugging the water heater electric cord into an outlet,
be sure that the system is completely charged with water and ALL AIR
IS REMOVED.
Before connecting the power, fill the tank and system with water and
check for leaks. To be sure that all air is out of the water system, open
the hot water faucets on your fixtures until constant water flows from
them. Otherwise any air remaining in the tank will cause the water
heater element to self destruct.
Filling the water heater:
1. Open the hot water faucet.
2. Open the cold water supply valve.
3. When continuous water flows out of the faucet, the tank is filled.
4. Close the hot water faucet.
5. Check entire system for leaks.
