ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The water heater must be connected to a properly
grounded electrical branch circuit. A dedicated circuit is
preferred. Do not use a GFI outlet.
Refer to the rating plate attached to the water heater to
determine the electrical requirements for the heater. Ensure
the circuit provided is correct for these requirements.
Important:
Do not use an extension cord to connect the
water heater to an electrical outlet.
Important:
The electrical controls used inside the gas
control of this water heater are polarity sensitive. Ensure
the electrical supply is connected correctly in the receptacle
box. Failure to connect correctly will prevent the unit from
functioning properly.
When all the water, gas and venting connections have
been correctly made, fi ll the tank as directed in the section
“FILLING THE WATER HEATER”.
When the tank has been fi lled, connect the electrical power
and proceed with starting the water heater as directed in
the “CALIBRATION” section.
CALIBRATION
The water heater must be calibrated as follows before
being put into service. The Calibration Procedure
examines and measures certain details of your installation
and automatically sets some control parameters. Before
starting the Calibration Procedure, the heater must be
properly installed and connected to the water piping and
the vent system. Ensure all panels, covers and doors are
in place.
This procedure assumes that the heater is installed with
DIP switch 4 in the calibration (ON) position (see Figure
32).
To calibrate the heater:
1. Plug the power cord into a 120Vac/60Hz outlet.
2. Press the ON/OFF Button to turn on the heater and
initiate the Calibration Procedure. This is an automatic
process that will last approximately six minutes.
The display will show 120°F during the calibration
procedure.
3. Once the unit has ignited turn open a nearby hot water
faucet.
Important:
To avoid a possible “end of call-for-heat” (and
consequent interruption of the Calibration Procedure), a
continuous water draw from the heater is recommended
during the calibration.
4. Do not interrupt this procedure once it has started.
After a successful calibration the heater will go into
standby mode and the display will show 105°F (factory
default). During the calibration if the “call-for-heat” ends,
the calibration was not completed and the E36 error
message will be shown on the display. If this occurs,
unplug the power cord and repeat steps 1 and 2.
To put the heater into service after a successful
calibration:
Close the hot water faucet.
Unplug the power cord from the 120Vac/60Hz outlet
Open (plastic) front door of the heater and remove the
service cap of the heat engine (Parts Identifi cation Item
14.) The DIP switches are located on the PCB which is
mounted on the right-hand side of the heat engine.
Set DIP switch 4 in the normal (OFF) position (see
Figure 32).
Reinstall the service cap on the heat engine, close
and latch the front door of the heater.
Plug the power cord into the 120Vac/60Hz outlet.
Press the Standby Button to turn on the heater and
start the unit.

FIGURE 32
The E36 “calibration error” occurs in the following
situations:
• Calibration switch (DIP switch 4) is in the calibrate (ON)
position and an “end call-for-heat” occurs before the
Calibration Procedure is fi nished.
• Calibration switch (DIP switch 4) is in the calibrate (ON)
position there is no “call-for-heat” within 6 minutes of
turning on the power.
• Calibration switch (DIP switch 4) is in the calibrate (ON)
position and the unit is calibrated but the DIP switch is
not set to the normal (OFF) within 6 minutes after the
Calibration Procedure is fi nished.
• Calibration switch (DIP switch 4) is in the normal (OFF)
position and the unit is not calibrated and 1 minute (or
more) passes after turning on the power.
If an E36 error message is displayed:
Unplug the power cord from 120Vac/60Hz outlet.
Open front door of the heater and remove the service
cap of the heat engine.
Check that (or set) DIP switch 4 is in the calibrate
(ON) position.
Generate a 5 minute (minimum) water draw from the
heater.
Repeat the calibration procedure.
NOTE:
If changes are made to the vent system or the
heater is re-located, the Calibration Procedure must be
repeated.
