GENERAL INFORMATION
The Eccotemp Mini Tank water heaters can be used in most under the
counter, point of use applications. EM Models are designed to supply hot
water for all hand wash and kitchen sinks in a residential, commercial or
industrial environment.
EM Models can replace traditional central hot water heaters thereby
conserving water and reducing energy waste. EM Models can also be
plumbed in series with the central water heater and act as a booster.
The Eccotemp Mini tank water heaters are lightweight and compact and
manufactured for easy installation. EM Models can be mounted on the
wall with included hardware, or freestanding.
EM Models are designed to operate at 150 psi maximum water pressure.
Install a pressure reducing valve if your water pressure is greater than
150 psi.
CAUTION!
: The manufacturer cannot be responsible for the damage
caused by improper installation or by failure to follow instructions in
this manual. Comply with the Installation Instructions before connecting
to electrical outlet.
CAUTION!
: The thermostat has been pre-set at the factory between
105° F (41° C) and 113° F (45° C).
CAUTION!
: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served
by this heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally
2 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 nearest and
most distant sink being served by this water heater before using any
electrical appliance connected to the hot water system (i.e. Dishwasher).
If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such
as air escaping through the faucet as the water begins to flow. There
should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at this time.
WARNING
: Installer should review the contents of this manual with
the owner upon completion of the installation, and the manual should
remain with the owner and placed in a location close to the water heater.
