4.  Remove the access cover(s), then remove the foam 

insulation block. 

5.  Remove the protective plastic cover(s) over the 

elements from their attachment point.  

6.  Disconnect the electrical wires from the heating 

element(s) by loosening the screws (Figure 13). 

Remove the screw-in element(s) by turning the 

element(s) counterclockwise with a 1-1/2 inch socket 

wrench. Remove the existing gasket(s).

7.  Clean the area where the gasket(s) fits to the tank 

and internal threads. If you are replacing the bottom 

element, remove any accumulated sediment on the 

bottom of the tank.

8.  Make sure the replacement element(s) has the correct  

voltage and wattage rating by matching it to the rating 

plate on the water heater. Position the new gasket(s)  

on the element and insert it into the water heater tank 

(Figure 14).  

NOTE:

 Apply a light coat of hand dishwashing soap 

and water to the gasket. Tighten the element by turning 

it clockwise until secure.

9.  Close the drain valve and open the nearest hot water  

faucet. 

Then open the cold water shut off valve

 and 

allow the tank to fill completely with water.  To purge 

the lines of any excess air and sediment, keep the hot 

water faucet open for 3 minutes after a constant flow of 

water is obtained.

10. Check for leaks around the element(s).

11.  Reconnect the electrical wires to the element and 

securely tighten the screws (See Figure 13).

12. Replace the 

protective plastic cover(s) removed earlier. 

Make sure the cover(s) are securely engaged on the 

attachment point(s).

13. Replace the foam block(s) and access cover(s).

14. Although this water heater is equipped with “Dry Fire” 

protection circuitry, be sure tank is completely filled with 

water before applying electrical power to the water heater.

15. Reconnect electrical power to the water heater at the 

circuit breaker/fuse box.

16. Press the power button to turn the water heater on. Set 

the desired water temperature and operating mode.  

NOTE:

 The water heater will conduct a system 

diagnostic (approximately 8 minutes) prior to operation.

Routine Preventive Maintenance

At least monthly, a visual inspection should be made of the 

following:

•  Air Filter (Remove and inspect, clean if needed, and 

reinstall).

•  Condensate drain pan and condensate lines.

•  The lower metal drain pan for standing water which may 

indicate a clogged condensate drain pan, condensate 

lines, or plumbing leak.

•  Leaking or damaged water piping.

•  Presence of corrosive materials in the installation area.

•  Presence of combustible materials near the water heater.

•  After servicing this water heater, check to make sure it 

is working properly. (See “Operating Your Water Heater” 

section of this manual.)

IMPORTANT:

 If you lack the necessary skills required to 

properly perform this visual inspection, you should not 

proceed, but get help from a qualified person.

Cleaning the Heat Pump

Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement

IMPORTANT:

 Before attempting to clean or replace the air 

filter press the power button to place the water heater in 

Standby Mode and turn-off power to the water heater at the 

circuit breaker/fuse box.

1.  Locate the screw securing the filter panel to the heat 

pump shroud and loosening it.

2.  Remove (slide) the filter from the unit.

3.  If you are replacing the filter skip to step 4. To clean the 

filter use a vacuum with a hose attachment to remove 

any dust or debris.

4.  Place the new or cleaned filter into the water heater 

and secure the filter to the shroud with the screw 

loosened earlier.  

NOTE:

 The guides/slots when inserting the filter into 

the water heater. 

5.  Restore power to the water heater and press the 

power button to turn the water heater on. 

NOTE:

 the 

water heater will conduct a system diagnostic prior to 

operation. 

Inspection/Cleaning of the Condensate 

Drain Pan & Condensate Drain Lines

IMPORTANT:

 Before attempting to clean or replace the 

condensate drain pan or lines press the power button to 

place the water heater in Standby Mode and shut-off power 

to the water heater at the circuit breaker/fuse box.

1.  Remove the access panel (fan side) by loosening the 

screws securing it to the unit. 

2.  Check the condensate drain pan and drain lines for any 

dirt or debris that might interfere with proper drainage. 

Wipe out any dirt or debris with a damp cloth.

3.  Once the condensate drain pan and lines have been 

inspected/cleaned, secure the access panel to the water 

heater.

4.  Restore power to the water heater and press the power 

button to turn the water heater on.  

NOTE:

 The water heater will conduct a system diagnostic 

prior to operation.
