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) .
