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.
3. 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).
