Water Heater Temperature Setpoint:
The water heater temperature setting strongly impacts the
amount of usable hot water available for showers and baths.
• Energy consumption/savings and efficiency testing of water
heaters is performed at a 135ºF (57ºC) setting, the average
water heater setting according to the Department of Energy.
All savings are based on hybrid mode operation at 135ºF
(57ºC).
• Safety regulations require a factory setting of 120°F to 125°F
(49°C to 52°C) max for all new water heaters. Therefore, if
your water heater is currently set at 130°F (54°C) or above
and your new water heater is installed with a factory set
setpoint of 120°F (49°C), the new water heater may seem to
provide lower capacity than your existing water heater.
• The user can adjust the temperature setting to meet their
needs. Always read and understand the safety instructions
contained in the users manual before adjusting the
temperature setpoint.
LOCAL INSTALLATION RegULATIONS
This water heater must be installed in accordance
with these instructions, local codes, utility codes,
utility company requirements or, in the absence of
local codes, the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code. It is available from some local libraries or can be
purchased from the National Fire Prevention Association,
Batterymarch park, Quincy, MA 02169 as booklet ANSI/
NFPA 70.
POWeR ReqUIRemeNTS
Check the markings on the rating plate of the water
heater to be certain the power supply corresponds
to the water heater requirements. NOTe: 208V
installations may experience lower performance.
LOCATION
Locate the water heater in a clean dry area as near as
practical to the area of greatest heated water demand.
Long uninsulated hot water lines can waste energy and
water. Unit must be installed in a level location.
NOTe: This unit is designed for any common indoor
installation including: garage, utility room, attic, closet,
etc. It can be installed in rooms smaller than 10’ x 10’ x
7’ (700cu.ft.) with the installation of a louvered door or
ducting kit. Louvers should be 240 square inches (0.15
m
2
) of open airflow area or greater. If two louvers are
used one should be near the top of the door.
Place the water heater in such a manner that the air
filter, cover, trim ring and front panels can be removed
to permit inspection and servicing, such as removal
of elements or cleaning of the filter. The water heater
should be installed keeping service in mind. Moving the
water heater or other appliances to provide service to
the water heater is not covered under warranty.
The water heater and water lines should be protected
from freezing temperatures and
high-corrosive
atmospheres
. Do not install the water heater in outdoor,
unprotected areas.
CAUTION:
Risk of Property Damage
-
The water heater should not be located in an area
where leakage of the tank or connections will result in
damage to the area adjacent to it or to lower floors of
the structure. Where such areas cannot be avoided, it
is recommended that a suitable catch pan, adequately
drained, be installed under the water heater. Attic
installations require access stairs and solid flooring with
no exposed floor joists.
NOTe:
The heat pump operating range is 45°F to 120°F
(7°C to 49°C). If the ambient temperature is outside of
this range, the heat pump will turn off and the electric
elements will be used until the ambient temperature
returns to within the operating range.
