ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The water heater is equipped with a 3-1 /2 ft. power cord and
a grounded type three pin plug. Plug cord into a grounded 120
Volt A.C. three pin receptacle that is protected by a 15 to 20
Amp fuse and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Heater is not to be hard wired.
operation
NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE COLD WATER
INLET VALVE CLOSED OR BEFORE FILLING WITH
WATER PER THE FILLING INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO
DO SO WILL CAUSE DAMAGE AND CAN VOID ELEMENT
WARRANTY.
FILLING
1. Make sure the water heater drain screw is closed. (Turn
clockwise).
2. Open a nearby hot water faucet to permit air to escape.
3. Fully open the cold water inlet valve, filling the heater and
piping.
4. Leave "hot" faucet open until good flow of water occurs.
(Evacuates air in lines.)
5. Close hot water faucet.
6. Plug electrical cord into outlet.
7. Turn the water heater electrical switch on.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
HOT WATER AT TEMPERATURES DESIRED FOR AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER AND LAUNDRY USE CAN CAUSE PAINFUL
SCALDING WITH POSSIBLE SERIOUS AND PERMANENT
INJURY. TEMPERATURES AT WHICH INJURY OCCURS VARIES
WITH THE PERSON S AGE AND THE LENGTH OF EXPOSURE.
THE SLOWER RESPONSE TIME OF CHILDREN, AGED OR
HANDICAPPED PERSONS INCREASES THE HAZARD TO THEM.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT LOWER WATER TEMPERATURE BE
USED WHERE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSURE SUCH AS ABOVE
EXIST
THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
RECOMMENDS TEMPERATURES OF 130°F OR LOWER.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE HIGHER WILL INCREASE THE
RISK OF SCALD INJURY
If it is necessary to change the water temperature, unplug the
power cord and remove the front cover. Adjust the thermostat
temperature setting up or down, replace the cover and
reconnect the power cord. (See section Temperature
Regulation).
ADJUST TEMPERATURE
Heating element has a thermostat which is factory set at
120°F (49°C) unless specified differently by state
requirements.
1. Turn off the heater electrical supply. Unplug power cord.
2. Remove front panel.
3. Move temperature indicator on thermostat to desired
temperatures.
4. Replace panel, plug in power cord and turn on heater
electrical supply.
A non-adjustable high temperature limit control operates
before steam temperatures are reached. The high limit is in
the same area as the thermostat and must be reset manually
when it operates. BECAUSE THE HIGH LIMIT OPERATES
ONLY WHEN ABNORMALLY HIGH WATER
TEMPERATURES ARE PRESENT, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
A SERVICE AGENT BE CONTACTED TO DETERMINE THE
REASON FOR THE HIGH LIMIT OPERATION BEFORE
RESETTING THE HIGH LIMIT.
DRAINING
Drain the healer if turned off and exposed to freezing
temperatures. Freezing water will expand and damage the
heater.
1. Disconnect the electrical power.
2. Turn on "hot" faucet until water runs cool.
3. Shut off cold water supply to heater.
4. Leave "hot" faucet open to bleed off water pressure.
5. Remove drain screw from front-bottom of tank.
6. Drain water from tank into suitable container.
7. Leave the drain screw open during shut down.
8. Close hot water faucet.
9. Follow filling instructions to restart.
