Before  Using 

 

 

 

                                                                             

1.  Make sure the water heater has been properly    

installed. See “Installing Your Water Heater”  section.

2.  Make sure the air filter is correctly seated, as it may shift 

during shipping or installation. See “Repair Parts Illustration” 
section.

3.  Completely fill the tank with water (See “Water Piping” 

section). 

4.  After the water heater tank is completely filled with water, 

connect electrical power to the water heater.

5.  Read the “Water Temperature Regulation” section of this 

manual. If you do not fully understand these instruction, 
contact a quali

fi

 ed person. 

6.  Press the power button (See Figure 16) to turn the water heater 

on and allow it to run a system diagnostic check. This typically 
takes eight minutes. Once complete, proceed to the next step. 

NOTE:

 If the system diagnostic check yields any codes, 

reference the Diagnostic Code section in this manual.

7.  Adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature

setting as described under “Adjusting the User Interface 
Module/Operational Modes” section.

IMPORTANT:

 Do not attempt to operate this water heater if the 

unit has been submerged, subjected to 

fl

 ooding, or surrounding 

insulation has been exposed to water in any way.  

Do not attempt to repair a unit subjected to 

fl

 ood  conditions. 

Water heaters subjected to 

fl

 ood conditions or any time the unit 

has been submerged in water require replacement of the entire 
water heater.

Temperature  Regulation   

 

                                                                              

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended 
to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which 
will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing 
needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some 
people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water 
than others. These include the elderly, children, the in

fi

 rm,  or 

physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in 
your home 

fi

 ts into one of these groups or if there is a local code 

or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water 
tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using 
the lowest possible temperature setting that satis

fi

 es your hot 

water needs, some type of tempering device, such as a mixing 
valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these people 
or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing 
supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for 
installation of the valves, Before changing the factory setting of 
the thermostat see Temperature Settings table below.
Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, or to draw 
their own bath water. Never leave a child or handicapped person 
unattended in a bathtub or shower.
The water heater is adjusted to a temperature setting of no 
higher than 120°F when it is shipped from the factory. Water 
temperature can be regulated by adjusting the User Interface 
Module to the preferred setting as shown in “Adjusting the 
User Interface Module/Operational Mode” The preferred 
starting point is 120°F. There is a hot water scald potential if 
the temperature set point is set too high. 

IMPORTANT: 

Adjusting the set point above 120°F on the User 

Interface Module will increase the risk of scald injury in the 
times shown below.

TABLE 2: WATER TEMPERATURES

NOTE: Water temperature range of 120°—140°F (49°-60°C) 
recommended by most dishwasher manufacturers.

Adjusting the User Interface Module/
Operational Modes 

 

 

             

The water temperature setting can be adjusted from 95°F to 
150°F. Use the Up and Down Buttons  

 on the 

front panel to set the desired temperature.

NOTE:

 The temperatures displayed on the User Interface are 

approximates. The actual temperature of the heated water 
may vary.

IMPORTANT:

 Before attempting to adjust the thermostat, read 

the “Water Temperature Regulation” section. If the instructions 
are not clear, contact a quali

fi

 ed person. 

IMPORTANT:

 Filling a spa or hot tub from this water heater 

may result in extended recovery/re-heat time. Hybrid mode will 
provide the shortest recovery.
