GENERAL INFORMATION
This electric water heater’s design is certified by INTERTEK (ETL) and listed
in accordance with UL 174. CETL listed in accordance with Canadian
National Standard C22.2, No. 110-M90.
This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, install this water heater in accordance with the
N.E.C. Reference Book (latest edition).
The warranty for this water heater is in effect only when the water heater is
installed, adjusted, and operated in accordance with these Installation and
Operating Instructions. The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage
resulting from alteration and/or failure to comply with these instructions.
To comply with NSF requirements this water heater is to be:
a) Sealed to the floor with sealant, in a smooth and easily cleanable
way, or
b) Installed with an optional leg kit that includes legs and/or extensions
that provide a minimum clearance of 6” beneath the water heater.
This water heater has been designed and certified for the purpose of heating
potable water. The installation and use of this water heater for any purpose
other than the heating of potable water, may cause damage to the water
heater and create a hazardous condition and nullify the warranty.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged in water. The
plumbing professional responsible for the installation of this water heater
should be contacted to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system, including thermostat, which has been submerged in water.
Make sure that the rating plate on the water heater is referenced for certainty
that the correct voltage is being supplied to the water heater.
A sacrificial anode(s) is used to extend tank life. Removal of any anode,
except for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty. In areas
where water is unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot water faucet
due to a reaction between the sacrificial anode and impurities in the water. If
this should happen, an alternative anode(s) may be purchased from the
supplier that installed this water heater. This will minimize the odor while
protecting the tank. Additionally, the water heater should be flushed with
appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any bacteria.
CAUTION
Incorrect operation of this appliance may create a hazard to life and
property and will nullify the warranty.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible,
or corrosive vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
