1. Disconnect the power supply to the heater. Consult the plumber 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.
Open a hot water faucet to allow air to enter the system.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The temperature of the water can be changed by adjusting the
thermostat(s). Before any work is done on the water heater, disconnect all
power to the water heater by opening the switch at the main electrical
circuit breaker or fuse box. Remove the access panels or front panel on
table tops, fold the insulation outward away from the controls. Set the
thermostat(s) to the desired water temperature using a screwdriver to
move the thermostat pointer. The thermostat has been factory preset to
approximately 120°F (49°C). Rotate the temperature dial clockwise to
increase water temperature. Replace the insulation making sure that the
controls are well covered and that the plastic terminal shield has not been
displaced; replace the access panel. The water heater is now ready for
operation and the main switch can be closed.
Shut off the electric power and water supply, drain the heater completely
to prevent freezing whenever the building is left unoccupied during the
cold weather months. In order to ensure efficient operation and long tank
life, drain the heater through the drain valve until water runs clear. Drain
it at least once a month. Failure to do this may result in noisy operation
and lime and sediment buildup in the bottom of the tank. Check the
temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure that the valve has not
become encrusted with lime. Lift the lever at the top of the valve several
times until valve seats properly without leaking and operates freely.
Contact your supplier or plumbing professional for replacement parts or
contact the company at the address displayed on the rating plate of the
water heater.
For faster and better service, please provide the part name, model, and
serial number(s) of the water heater(s) when ordering parts.

For your safety, DO NOT attempt to repair thermostat(s),
heating elements, or electrical wiring. Refer such repairs to a
qualified service technician.
CAUTION
When lifting the level of the temperature-pressure relief valve,
hot water will be released under pressure. Be certain that any
released water does not result in bodily injury or property
damage. The magnesium anode rod should be inspected
periodically and replaced when necessary to prolong tank life.
WARNING
The water heater should be inspected at a minimum of annually
by a qualified service technician for damaged components. DO
NOT operate this water heater if any part is found damaged.
IMPORTANT
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may
occur within five (5) seconds at a temperature setting of 135°F
(57°C). To protect against hot water injury, install an anti-scald
tempering valve in the water system. This valve will reduce
point of discharge water temperatures by mixing cold and hot
water in branch water lines. A licensed plumbing professional
or local plumbing authority should be consulted.
Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out
device to prevent overheating. Should overheating occur, turn
off the electrical supply to the water heater and contact a
qualified service technician.
DANGER
Before adjusting the thermostat(s), turn off power supply to the
water heater.
