GENERAL INFORMATION

This electric water heater’s design is certified by Underwriters Laboratories

(UL) and listed in accordance with UL 174. C-UL listed in accordance with

Canadian National Standard C22.2, No. 110-M90.

This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes. In the

absence of local codes, install this water heater in accordance with the

N.E.C. Reference Book (latest edition).

The warranty for this water heater is in effect only when the water heater is

installed, adjusted, and operated in accordance with these Installation and

Operating Instructions. The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage

resulting from alteration and/or failure to comply with these instructions.

This water heater has been designed and certified for the purpose of heating

potable water. The installation and use of this water heater for any purpose

other than the heating of potable water, may cause damage to the water

heater and create a hazardous condition and nullify the warranty.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged in water. The

plumbing professional responsible for the installation of this water heater

should be contacted to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the

control system, including thermostat, which has been submerged in water.

Make sure that the rating plate on the water heater is referenced for certainty

that the correct voltage is being supplied to the water heater.

CAUTION

Incorrect operation of this appliance may create a hazard to life and

property and will nullify the warranty.

DANGER

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible,

or corrosive vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

General Information continued-

A sacrificial anode is used to extend tank life. Removal of this anode, for any

reason, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active, an

odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the

sacrificial anode and impurities in the water. If this should happen, an

alternative anode may be purchased from the supplier that installed this

water heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank.

Additionally, the water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers

to eliminate any bacteria.

INSTALLATION

Locating The Water Heater

This water heater MUST be installed indoors out of the wind and

weather.

This water heater shall NOT be installed in any location where gasoline

or flammable vapors are likely to be present, unless the installation is

such to eliminate the probable ignition of gasoline or flammable

vapors.

The location this water heater is to be installed is of utmost importance.

Before installing this water heater, consult the installation section of these

instructions. After reading these installation and operating instructions,

select a location for the water heater where the floor is level and is easily

accessible to a power supply and water connections. It is recommended

that the water heater be located near the center of greatest hot water usage

to prevent heat loss through the pipes.

IMPORTANT

Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and it’s components for

possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is

evident, please contact the supplier where the water heater was purchased

or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement parts.

WARNING

Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury,

there shall be no materials stored against the water heater and proper care

shall be taken to avoid unnecessary contact (especially by children) with

the water heater. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL FLAMMABLE

MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE USED OR

STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER OR ANY

LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER

HEATER.

Locating The Water Heater continued-

DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could be subjected

to freezing temperatures. Locate the water heater so that access

panels and drain valves are accessible. Some models are not equipped

with a drain valve. For those models, install a drain tee in the cold water inlet

as close as practical to the water heater.

Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating

and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical

compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning

solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool

chemicals, calcium or sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals.

These materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no

odor to reveal their presence.

NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WATER HEATER CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO

CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. DO

NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF EXPOSURE HAS OR WILL

OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE

COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE WATER HEATER.

This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank or

water line connections and the combination temperature and pressure relief

valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to

lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a

suitable drain pan must be installed under the water heater. The drain pan

must have a minimum length and width of at least 4 in. (10.2 cm) greater

than the diameter of the water heater. The drain pan, as described above,

can be purchased from your plumbing professional. The drain pan must be

piped to an adequate drain. The piping must be pitched for proper drainage.

To comply with NSF requirements this water heater is to be:

a) Sealed to the floor with sealant, in a smooth and easily cleanable

way, or

b) Installed with an optional leg kit that includes legs and/or extensions

that provide a minimum clearance of 6” beneath the water heater.

Note: For California installation this water heater must be braced,

anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an

earthquake. See instructions for correct installation procedures.

Instructions may be obtained from California Office of the State

Architect, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

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.

IMPORTANT

FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED 3/4” X 3/4”

TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL RELEASE THE

MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM

EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURES.

Water Connections continued-

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 and maintenance of the

combination temperature and pressure relief valve.

Do not place a valve between the combination temperature and pressure

relief valve and the tank.

Water Connections continued-

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.

Water Connections continued-

This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water at any faucet in the

system. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury.

Certain appliances, such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers,

may require increased temperature water. By setting the thermostat on this

water heater to obtain increased temperature water required by these

appliances, you may create the potential for scald injury. To protect against

injury, you should install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water

system. This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold

and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from the

manufacturer of this water heater or a local plumbing supplier. Please

consult with a plumbing professional.
