GENERAL OPERATION 

 

 
When the switch is closed, the operation of this electric water heater is 
automatic.  The water heater thermostat(s) are preset to the “HOT” setting to 
provide a water temperature of approximately 140°F 

(60°C)

 or below in order 

to reduce the risk of scald injury.  Care must be taken whenever using hot 
water to avoid scalding injury.  Certain appliances require high temperature 
hot water (such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers). 

 

 

TO FILL THE WATER HEATER 
1.  Close the water heater drain valve by turning the knob clockwise. 
2.  Open the cold water supply shut-off valve. 
3.  Open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the system. 
4.  When a steady stream of water flows from the faucets, the water heater 

is filled. Close the faucets and check for water leaks at the water heater 
drain valve, combination temperature and pressure relief valve and the 
hot and cold water connections. 

5.  Reconnect power supply to water heater. 
 
TO DRAIN THE HEATER 
Should it become necessary to completely drain the water heater, make sure 
you follow the steps below: 
1.  Disconnect the power supply to the heater.  Consult the plumbing 

professional or electric company in your area for service. 

2.  Close the cold water supply shut-off valve. 
3.  Open the drain valve on the water heater by turning the knob counter-

clockwise.  The drain valve has threads on the end that will allow 
connection of a standard hose coupling. 

4.  Open a hot water faucet to allow air to enter the system. 
 
To refill the water heater, refer to “TO FILL THE WATER HEATER.” 

Before closing the switch to allow electric current to flow to the 
water heater, make certain that the water heater is full of water and 
that the cold water inlet valve is open.  Complete failure of the 
heating element(s) will result if they are not totally immersed in 
water at all times.

  

Failure of the element(s) due to dry-firing is not 

covered by warranty.

 

CAUTION

 

Scalding may occur within five (5) seconds at a temperature setting of 
140°F 

(60°C)
