Safety Precautions
Do turn off power to water heater if it
has been subjected to over heating,
fire, flood, physical damage.
DO NOT turn on water heater unless
it is filled with water.
DO NOT turn on water heater if cold
water supply shut-off valve is closed.
If there is any difficulty in
understanding or following the
Operating Instructions or the Care and
Cleaning section, it is recommended
that a qualified person or serviceman
perform the work.
Operating the water heater
CAUTION: 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
dissipate such gas and to reduce risk of injury, 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 be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. DO NOT smoke or use an
open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
CAUTION: The
cause of the high
temperature condition
must be investigated
by qualified service
technician and
corrective action must
be taken before placing
the water heater in
service again.
Safety Controls
The water heater is equipped with a
combination thermostat and temperature
limiting control (ECO) that is located
above the heating element in contact with
the tank surface. If for any reason the water
temperature becomes excessively high, the
temperature limiting control (ECO) breaks
the power circuit to the heating element.
Once the control opens, it must be reset
manually.
To reset the temperature limiting control:
Turn off the power to the water heater.
Remove the front center panel and
insulation.
The thermostat protective cover
SHOULD NOT be removed.
Press the red "RESET" button.
Replace the insulation and front center
panel before turning on the power to
the water heater.
Emergency Instructions
WARNING: If the water heater has
been subjected to flood, fire, or physical
damage, turn off power and water to the
water heater.
NOTICE: DO NOT use this appliance
if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified installer or
service agency to replace a flooded water
heater. DO NOT attempt to repair the
