Installing the water heater
The location chosen for the water heater must take into consideration the following:
Local Installation Regulations
This water heater must be installed in
accordance with these instructions, local
codes, utility codes, utility company
requirements or, in the absence of local
codes, the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code. It is available from some
local libraries or can be purchased from
the National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269 as
booklet ANSI/NFPA 70.
Location
This water heater is designed to meet a
wide range of applications. It fulfills a
demand for a small water heater that can
be installed in a limited space such as under
countertops, in cabinets or in a closet.
Locate the water heater in a clean dry area
as near as practical to hot water fixtures, or
close to the water faucet most frequently
used.
Locate the water heater in a clean dry area
as near as practical to the area of greatest
heated water demand. Long uninsulated hot
water lines can waste energy and water.
Place the water heater in such a manner that
the thermostat and element access panels
can be removed to permit inspection and
servicing such as removal of elements or
checking controls.
The water heater and water lines should be
protected from freezing temperatures. DO
NOT install the water heater in outdoor,
unprotected areas.
Make certain the floor underneath the water
heater is strong enough to sufficiently
support the weight of the water heater once
it is filled with water.
CAUTION: The water heater should
not be located in an area where leakage
of the tank or connections will result
in damage to the area adjacent to it or
to lower floors of the structure. Where
such areas cannot be avoided, it is
recommended that a suitable catch pan,
adequately drained, be installed under
the water heater.
Inspect Shipment
Inspect the water heater for possible damage. Check the markings on the rating plate of the
water heater to be certain the power supply corresponds to the water heater requirements.
