FILLING THE HEATER 

 

CAUTION:

 Do not put electrical power to the elements 

until

 after the 

heater is completely filled with water. 

 

Check that the necessary relief valve has been properly installed. 

 

Completely close the drain valve. 

 

Open the highest hot water faucet to allow all air to escape from piping. 

 

Open the valve to the cold water and allow the heater and piping system 
to completely fill, as indicated by a steady flow of water from the open 
faucet.

WIRING CONTROLS  

 

WARNING: The heater elements will be damaged instantly if 
energy is supplied before the tank is completely filled with water, 
thus voiding any warranty. 

 

A qualified electrician must provide a separate fused branch circuit, 
conforming to local or National Electric Codes. 

 

Supply to the heater only the voltage stamped on the rating plate. 

 

Mark the electrical shut off clearly for future emergency use. 

 

Read wiring diagrams before making electrical connections (see Table I) 

 

Field connections with aluminum conductors must use connectors 
approved for copper to aluminum connection. 

 

CAUTION: 

There is a risk of electric shock in an ungrounded service it 

is critical that this unit be wired with a power supply that has a service 
ground wire available. Be sure to connect the ground wire to the green 
ground screw in the junction box.

SUPPLEMENTAL HEAT WARNINGS 

 

When a supplemental heat source is connected to the Certified 
Household Electric Storage Tank Water Heater, provision must be made 
to limit the heat source temperature not to exceed that of the water heater 
thermostat setting. 

 

Caution:

 If the water heater has been retrofitted with supplemental 

heating equipment, you must adjust both the thermostat controlling the 
supplemental heat source (located in the water piping) and the 
thermostat on the water heater (behind the access panel) to the same 
temperature. Failure to adjust both thermostats to the same temperature 
can cause loss of proper temperature control.
