DRAINING THE WATER HEATER
To drain the water heater:
•
Turn off the water heater (refer to
“Turn Off The Water Heater”
on page 33).
•
Open a hot tap (preferably the shower outlet).
•
Unscrew the two drain plugs, one each at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet, on the
underside of the water heater.
Water will drain from the water heater.
•
When water stops flowing from the water heater, close the hot tap.
Note:
It is recommended not to screw the drain plugs back in, until the water heater is to be turned on
again.
