Water Connections
NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE
MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE.
After shutting the main water supply valve, open a faucet to relieve the
water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes
while making the water connections to the water heater. After the
pressure has been relieved, close the faucet. The COLD water inlet and
HOT water outlet are identified on top of the water heater. The fittings
at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet are dielectric waterway
fittings with 3/4’’ NPT tapered male threads. Make the proper plumbing
connections between the water heater and the plumbing system in the
house. Install a shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
If this water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as
the one having a back-flow preventer in the cold water supply,
provisions shall be made to control thermal expansion. DO NOT operate
this water heater in a closed system without provisions for controlling
thermal expansion. Your water supplier or local plumbing inspector
should be contacted on how to control this situation.
After installation of the water lines, open the main water supply valve
and fill the water heater. While the water heater is filling, open several
hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the water system. When a
steady stream of water flows through the faucets, close them and check
all water connections for possible leaks. NEVER OPERATE THE WATER
HEATER WITHOUT FIRST BEING CERTAIN IT IS FILLED WITH WATER.
CAUTION
If sweat fittings are to be used, DO NOT apply heat to the nipples on
top of the water heater. Sweat the tubing to the adapter before fitting
the adapter to the water connections. It is imperative that heat is not
applied to the nipples containing a plastic liner.

WARNING
For protection against excessive temperatures and pressure, install
temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local
codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief
valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that
maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or
materials, as meeting the Requirements for Relief Valves and
Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI
Z21.22, and the Standard CAN1-4.4 Temperature, Pressure,
Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves.
The combination temperature and pressure relief valve shall be marked
with a maximum set pressure, not to exceed the maximum working
pressure of the water heater. The combination temperature and
pressure relief valve shall also have an hourly rated temperature steam
BTU discharge capacity not less than the hourly input rating of the
water heater.
Install the combination temperature and pressure relief valve into the
opening provided and marked for this purpose on the water heater
Note: Some models may already be equipped or supplied with a
combination temperature and pressure relief valve. Verify that the
combination temperature and pressure relief valve complies with local
codes. If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve does
not comply with local codes, replace it with one that does. Follow the
installation instructions above on this page.
Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the combination
temperature and pressure relief valve will exit within six (6) inches
(15.3 cm) above, or any distance below the structural floor and
cannot contact any live electrical part. The discharge line is to be
installed to allow for complete drainage of both the temperature and
pressure relief valve and the discharge line. The discharge opening
must not be subjected to blockage or freezing. DO NOT thread, plug
or cap the discharge line. It is recommended that a minimum of four
(4) inches
(10.2 cm) be provided on the side of the water heater for servicing

WARNING
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water
heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks
or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury
under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be
opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there
will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the
water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the
faucet at the time it is open.
CAUTION
INCREASING THE THERMOSTAT SETTING ABOVE THE PRESET
TEMPERATURE MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND CONSUME EXCESSIVE
ENERGY. HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY.

GENERAL OPERATION
When the switch is closed, the operation of this electric water heater is
automatic. The thermostats are preset to the ‘‘HOT’’ setting to provide a
water temperature of approximately 120° F (49°C) to reduce the risk of
scald injury.
Care must be taken whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury.
Certain appliances require high temperature hot water (such as
dishwashers and automatic clothes washers).
TO FILL THE WATER HEATER
1. Open the cold water supply shut-off valve.
2. Open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the
system.
When a steady stream of water flows from the faucets, the water heater
is filled. Close the faucets and check for water leaks at the combination
temperature and pressure relief valve and the hot and cold water
connections.
Before closing the switch to allow electric current to flow to the
water heater, make certain that the water heater is full of water and
that the cold water inlet valve is open. Complete failure of the
heating element(s) will result if they are not totally immersed in water
at all times. Failure of the element(s) due to dry-firing is not covered
by warranty.
CAUTION
Scalding may occur within five (5) seconds at a temperature setting
of 140°F (60° C).
11
Thermostat Adjustment
The temperature of the water can be changed by adjusting the
thermostat(s). Before any work is done on the water heater, disconnect
all power to the water heater by opening the switch at the main
electrical circuit breaker or fuse box. Remove the access panels or front
panel on tabletops, fold the insulation outward away from the controls.
Set the thermostat(s) to the desired water temperature using a
screwdriver to move the thermostat dial. The thermostat has been
factory preset to approximately 120° F (49° C). Rotate the temperature
dial clockwise to increase water temperature. Replace the insulation
making sure that the controls are well covered and that the plastic
terminal shield has not been displaced; replace the access panel. The
water heater is now ready for operation and the main switch can be
closed.
