Water Heater Location

Centrally located with the water piping system.

 

The 

fl

 ooring beneath the water heater must be able to 

 

support the weight of the water heater when 

fi

 lled with 

water (967 lbs. full).

Located indoors (such as a basement or garage) 

 

and in a vertical position. Sheltered from freezing 
temperatures.
Provisions made to shelter the area from water    

 

damage. Metal drain pan installed and piped to an 
adequate drain.
Sufficient room to service the water heater.

 

Sufficient air for the heat pump to function. 

 

The water 

heater must be located in a space 750 cubic feet or 
larger, and must have unrestricted air

fl

 ow.  As an 

example, a room that has an 8 foot tall ceiling and is 
10 feet long by 9-1/2 feet wide would contain 760 cubic 
feet. 

 

NOTE:

 For optimal ef

fi

 ciency and serviceability, the 

following clearances should be maintained: 3 feet on 
the air inlet side, 5 feet on the air outlet side, 6 inches in 
the back, and 2 feet in the front.

 

The unit cannot be placed into any type of closet or 

 

small enclosure.
The site location must be free from any corrosive 

 

elements in the atmosphere such as sulfur, 

fl

 uorine, 

and chlorine. These elements are found in aerosol 
sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, air 
fresheners, paint, and varnish removers, refrigerants, 
and many other commercial and household products. 
In addition excessive dust and lint may affect the 
operation of the unit and require more frequent 
cleaning (See “Cleaning the Heat Pump” section).
Ambient air temperature must be above 45°F and 

 

below 109°F. If the ambient air temperature falls 
outside these upper and lower limits the electrical 
elements will activate to meet the hot water demand.

Water System Piping

Temperature and pressure relief valve properly    

 

installed with a discharge pipe run to an adequate drain  
and sheltered from freezing (See Figure 5).
All piping properly installed and free of leaks.

 

Heater completely filled with water (See “Water Piping 

 

System” section).
Closed system pressure buildup precautions installed 

 

(See “Closed System/Thermal Expansion” section).
Mixing valve (when applicable) installed per 

 

manufacturer’s instructions (See “Water Temperature 
Regulation” section).

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Condensate Drain Line Installation

Must be located with access to an adequate drain or 

 

condensate pump.
Condensate drain lines installed and piped to an 

 

adequate drain or condensate pump (See Figure 4).

Electrical Connections

The water heater requires 240 VAC for proper 

 

operation.
Wiring size and connections comply with all applicable  

 

codes or in the absence of local or state codes follow 
NFPA-70, the National Electrical Code-current edition.
Water heater and electrical supply are properly    

 

grounded.
Wiring enclosed in approved conduit (if required by 

 

local codes).

Proper overload fuse or circuit breaker protection 

 

installed.

Post Installation Review

Understand how to use the User Interface Module to 

 

set the various modes and functions (See “Adjusting 
the User Interface Module/Operating Modes” section). 
Hybrid Mode is the recommended Operating Mode. 

 

Understand the various Operating Modes and which 
mode may be best based on season, ambient 
temperature, and usage (See “Operating Mode 
Description” section). 

NOTE:

 It may be necessary to temporarily change 

modes if for example filling a spa or hot tub.
Understand the importance of routine inspection/

 

maintenance of the condensate drain pan and lines 
(See “

Inspection/Cleaning of the Condensate Drain 

Pan & Condensate Drain Lines” section)

.  This is to 

help prevent any possible drain line blockage resulting 
in the condensate drain pan overflowing. 

IMPORTANT:

 Water coming from the plastic shroud is 

an indicator that both condensation drain lines may be 
blocked. Immediate action is required.
To maintain optimal operation check, remove and clean 

 

the air filter (See “Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement” 
section).
The Installation Instructions and Use & Care Guide 

 

should be kept with the water heater for reference.
