GENERAL INFORMATION
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY
BEFORE INSTALLING WATER HEATER
IMPORTANT OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
The Company specifically does not expressly or impliedly warrant the
merchantability or the fitness for any particular purpose or the performance of the
heater within that system, nor does it assume liability for any consequential damage
to general property or other components of the system.
This appliance is designed to store water heated only by the electrical
elements provided, at temperatures of not more than 125

F and pressures of not
more than 150 psi. Heat input from any external or additional source will void the
warranty.
The design anticipates the proper installation and care in use of the product.
There is risk of property damage and personal injury inherent in the use of any hot
water system. The Company cannot supervise the installation and therefore makes it
a specific condition of the warranty that the customer will supervise the installation
and use of this product to be sure they are performed in accordance with these
instructions, as well as safe industry guidelines and proper local or national codes.
Generalized instructions and procedures cannot anticipate all situations. For
this reason, only qualified installers should perform the installation. A qualified
installer is a licensed person who has appropriate training and a working knowledge
of the applicable codes, regulations, tools, equipment and methods necessary for
safe installation of an electrical resistance water heater.
An installation checklist has been provided to help the customer ensure that all
procedures for a safe installation have been followed.
If questions regarding installation arise, check with your local plumbing and
electrical inspectors for proper procedures and codes. Local codes take precedence
over instructions in this manual.
