18 • Residenal Electric Water Heater Use and Care Guide
Step 15:
Installing the Leak
Detecon Sensor
The Leak Detecon Sensor (LDS) does
not provide protecon against a water
leak, it only provides nocaon that
water is present in the locaon of the
sensor. When a leak is detected, the
Control Assembly will display an error
code accompanied by a ashing light
and audible signal. If the presence
of water is indicated, disconnect
power to the water heater, turn o
the incoming water and address the
source of the leak before returning
the unit to service. See included kit
instrucons found with the LDS for
detailed installaon instrucons.
1
Plug the LDS into the
connecon port next to the
lower element access panel.
2
Aach the LDS to the heater
or drain pan using the tape
on the back of the LDS.
Ensure the metal probes point down.
3
Use the included wire clamps
to organize the wires.
Step 16:
Adjusng the
Temperature
With the installaon steps completed,
you may adjust the water heater’s
temperature seng if desired.
1
Turn the electric power back
on. Remove/pull out the
baery protecve tab from
the le side of the Control Assembly.
2
Set the thermostat to the
desired temperature on the
Control Assembly (see
“Adjusng the Control Assembly’s
Operaonal Modes” on page 21). The
set point on this water heater has
been factory set to approximately
120°F/49°C to reduce the risk of scald
injury. You may wish to set a higher
temperature to provide hot water for
automac dishwashers or laundry
machines, to provide more hot water
capacity, and to reduce bacterial
growth. Higher tank temperatures
(140°F/60°C) kill bacteria that cause a
condion known as “smelly water”
and can reduce the levels of bacteria
that cause water-borne diseases.
WARNING! Higher temperatures
increase the risk of scalding, but even
at 120°F/49°C, hot water can scald
(see page 4 and Figure 23).
If you increase the water heater’s
temperature seng, install
Thermostac Mixing Valve(s) at each
point-of-use to reduce the risk of
scalding.
Figure 23 - Adjust Thermostatic Mixing Valves at
each point-of-use to 120°F/49°C or lower.
3
Wait for the water to heat
up. It may take several hours
for a tank of cold water to
heat up. If you have no hot water
aer two hours, refer to the
“Troubleshoong” secon (beginning
on page 25).
WARNING! If you have increased
the temperature seng and the
Thermostac Mixing Valves are not
set properly (or not installed) you
could scald yourself while checking
the temperature.
4
Check water temperature at
several points in your home
(for example, the bathtub
faucet, shower, or lavatory sink) and
adjust the Thermostac Mixing Valves
as needed. If you are not sure how to
adjust the Thermostac Mixing Valve
sengs, or are not sure if you have
Thermostac Mixing Valves, contact a
qualied person.
Post Installaon
Review
1
Understand how to use the
Control Assembly to set the
various modes and funcons.
2
Hybrid Mode is the
recommended Operang
Mode. Understand the
various Operang Modes and which
mode may be best, based on ambient
temperature and hot water demands.
3
Understand the importance
of roune inspecon/
maintenance of the
condensate drain pan and line. This is
to prevent any possible drain line
blockage resulng in the condensate
drain pan overowing.
4
To maintain opmal
operaon, check, remove and
clean the air lter as needed.
5
The installaon Instrucons
and Use and Care Guide
should be kept with the
water heater for reference.
