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 environment.

EM models can replace traditional central hot water heaters thereby conserving 

water and reducing energy waste. 

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  to 51.7°C (125°F) or 

lower to reduce the risk of the scald injury.

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.
