10        Maintaining the Water Heater

4.1    Cleaning the Water Heater

CAUTION

Make sure the water heater is turned off and the power supply 

is  disconnected  before  cleaning  the  water  heater. The  water 

heater may remain hot for several minutes after it is turned off. 

To prevent burns, wait until the water heater has cooled down 

before cleaning.

To clean the water heater, wipe the outside with a damp cloth. Use 

a non-acidic, non-abrasive cleaner to remove any surface stains. 

The front panel is moisture resistant, but it is not waterproof. Keep 

it as dry as possible.

4.2    Draining the Water Heater

You need to drain the water heater before performing 

maintenance tasks, such as cleaning the inlet water filter, or to 

prevent the water heater from freezing when it will not be used for 

an extended period.

Refer to the “2.2    Parts of the Water Heater” on page 6 for details 

about part locations.

To drain the water heater:

Place a bucket under the water heater, to collect the residual 

1. 

water inside the water heater.

Press the Power button on the front panel to turn off the 

2. 

power to the water heater.

Close the gas valve.

3. 

Close

Close the water supply valve on the inlet to the water heater. If 

4. 

there is no valve, turn off the water supply at the water main.

Open all hot water faucets completely. The water that remains 

5. 

in the plumbing lines will drain out.
