NOTICE
:
!
HARD WATER OR WATER WITH A HIGH MINER-
AL COUNT MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT. DAMAGE TO
THE UNIT CAUSED BY SCALE OR A HIGH MINERAL
COUNT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE
AND PRESSURE IN THE WATER HEATER, A COM-
BINATION TEMPERATURE/PRESSURE (T&P) RELIEF
VALVE HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS FILL THE UNIT'S TANK WITH WATER BE-
FORE PLUGGING THE WATER HEATER'S CORD INTO
AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE WATER
HEATER.
NOTICE:
!
WHEN A WATER HEATER IS INSTALLED IN A
CLOSED WATER-SUPPLY SYSTEM, SUCH AS ONE
HAVING A BACK-FLOW PREVENTER IN THE COLD-
WATER SUPPLY, MEANS SHALL BE PROVIDED TO
CONTROL THERMAL EXPANSION. CONTACT THE
WATER SUPPLIER OR LOCAL PLUMBING INSPECTOR
FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE CONTROL OF
THIS SITUATION.
Connect the cold water pipe to the cold water connection on
the unit (blue). Connect the hot water pipe to the hot water
connection on the unit (red).
Ensure that the water heater is installed in a level position.
Install a shut-off on the cold water side of the water heater.
This is for emergency shut-off. It must be kept open when
the water heater is operating.
When using copper piping, solder a piece of tubing to a
threaded fitting (union) before screwing the adapter to the
tank.
BRAIDED FLEX HOSE CONNECTORS ARE ALSO RECOMMEND-
ED.
DO NOT APPLY HEAT DIRECTLY TO INLET OR OUTLET CON-
NECTIONS.
A certified T&P valve is mounted to the water heater by the
manufacturer with the outlet oriented to the right. If this
position needs to be changed, leakage may occur, especially
if it will be screwed counter-clockwise, and the T&P valve
may need to be resealed. After all plumbing work has been
completed, the T&P valve needs to be checked for proper
tightness.
During heating, the water volume and water pressure in-
creases in the tank. It is possible for water to leak from the
safety valve, this is normal.
