and/or the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, in the United States.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
background
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Location
This water heater should be located as close as possible to a power
supply and to the main use of hot water. This location must not
be subject to freezing temperatures. The water heater should be
positioned so that the element and thermostat access doors can be
removed for inspection, adjustment, and servicing of the elements
and thermostats. The drain valve must also be accessible. The water
heater must be located close to a suitable free-flowing floor drain.
Where a floor drain is not adjacent to the water heater, a suitable drain
pan must be installed under the water heater (see Figure 1A or 1B).
This drain pan should be at least two (2) inches (5.0 cm) larger than
the diameter of the water heater, and at least three (3) inches (7.5 cm)
deep providing access to the drain valve. This pan must be piped to
a suitable drain to prevent damage to property in the event of a water
leak from the piping, the relief valve, or the water heater.
Sooner or later, all water heaters leak. The manufacturer,
based on national building codes has given the necessary
advice to prevent damage to the building. Under no
circumstances is the manufacturer to be held liable for any
water damage in connection with this water heater.
Should this water heater be installed on carpeting, the carpeting must
be protected by a wood or metal panel beneath the water heater. This
panel must extend at least three (3) inches (7.6 cm) beyond the width
and depth of the water heater. Should the water heater be installed in
an alcove or closet, the entire floor area must be covered by the panel.
Water Piping
Refer to Figure 1A or 1B for a typical installation. Use of this layout
should provide a trouble-free installation for the life of the water heater.
Before making the plumbing connections, locate the COLD water inlet
and the HOT water outlet. These fittings are both 3/4” NPT male thread.
Female NPT fittings must be used during the installation. Make sure
that the dip-tube is installed in the cold water inlet (Top entry Models).
Install a shut-off valve close to the water heater in the cold water line. It is
recommended that unions be installed in the cold and hot water lines so
that the water heater can be easily disconnected, if servicing is required.
When assembling the hot and cold piping to the water heater,use Teflon™
tape and wrap it clockwise around all the threads or a good food grade of
pipe joint compound, and ensure all fittings are tight. It is imperative that
open flame is not applied to the inlet and outlet fittings, as heat will damage
or destroy the plastic lined fittings. This will result in premature failure of
the fittings, which is not covered by the warranty.
Temperature and Pressure-Relief Valve
DO NOT plug the temperature and pressure-relief valve or its
discharge line. DO NOT remove the relief valve. Make sure the
relief valve is properly sized for the water heater. If the relief
valve continuously discharges water, call a qualified service
technician to correct the problem. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
To protect from excessive pressure and/or temperature, a temperature
and pressure-relief valve that meets the requirements of the Standard
for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-Off Devices for Hot Water
Supply Systems, CSA 4.4, in Canada, and ANSI Z21.22, in the United
States MUST BE installed by the installer when it has not been factory
installed. The relief valve should have a maximum set pressure that
does not exceed the hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater
(150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a BTU/h rating equal to or greater than the
input rating, as shown on the water heater rating plate. It should never be
plugged or removed from the opening marked for it on the water heater.
If this relief valve should need to be replaced, use only a new tem-
perature and pressure-relief valve. Never install an old or existing relief
valve, as it may be damaged or inadequate for the working require-
ments of the new water heater. This new relief valve must meet all local
codes or, at a minimum, the requirements listed above. Never install
another type of valve between the relief valve and the water heater.
A discharge line must be installed into the relief valve. The discharge line:
Must not be smaller than the outlet pipe size of the relief valve.
Must not terminate less than six (6) inches (15.2 cm) and not more
than twelve (12) inches (30.5 cm) above a floor drain.
Must not be restricted in any way. Do not thread, cap, or in any way
restrict the end of this outlet.
• Mustbeofamaterialcapableofwithstanding210˚F(99˚C)without
distortion.
Must be installed to allow complete drainage of the relief valve and
discharge line.
Must terminate over an adequate free-flowing drain.
Pressure Build-up in a Water System
When the water heater operates, the heated water expands creat-
ing a pressure build-up. This is a natural function and is one of the
reasons for installing a temperature and pressure-relief valve. If the
cold water supply line has a built-in water meter, check valve, or
pressure reducing valve, a suitable expansion tank must be installed
to prevent pressure build-up or water hammer effect, otherwise the
warranty is void (see Figure 1A or 1B). An indication of pressure
build-up is frequent discharges of water from the relief valve. If the
relief valve discharges water on a continuous basis, it may indicate a
malfunction of the relief valve, and a qualified service technician must
be called to have the system checked, and the problem corrected.
Filling the Water Heater
NEVER operate the water heater unless it is completely
filled with water. Failure to follow this instruction can result in
premature failure of the water heater and its component parts
that is not covered by the warranty.
Check that all of the water piping connections have been made. To
fill the water heater:
1) Make sure that the water heater drain valve is closed by inserting
a flat head screwdriver into the slot on the head of the drain valve
and turning the knob clockwise .
2) Open the cold water supply manual shut-off valve. This valve
must remain open, as long as the water heater is in use. NEVER
operate the water heater with the cold water supply manual
shut-off valve closed.
3) To make sure the water heater is completely filled with water, open
all of the hot water faucets in the house to let the air out of the
water heater and plumbing system. Leave the faucets open until a
constant flow of water is obtained.
4) Check all of the plumbing connections to make sure there are no
leaks.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Connections
This water heater uses an external electrical source for power.
It must be electrically grounded in accordance with all local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code, in Canada, and/or the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, in the United States. Failure to properly ground
this water heater can result in property damage, personal injury,
or death.
This water heater must be connected on a separate fuse branch
circuit. Check the water heater rating plate for the element wattage
and voltage and make sure that the power supply wiring and the
fusing or circuit breaker are the correct size for this water heater
(see Table 1). Verify that all of the wire connections on the element
and thermostat have been installed correctly, are secure, and that
none of the wires are grounded, have split, or are broken (see Figure
2A, 2B or 2C). If any of the original wiring needs replacing, use only
14AWG-type,orgreaterwirethatisapprovedfor221˚F(105˚C).
To hook-up the water heater to the power supply, connect the power
supply wiring to the red and black wires attached to the top
thermostat (see Figure 2A, 2B or 2C). NEVER CONNECT THE
POWER SUPPLY DIRECTLY ONTO THE THERMOSTAT.
Insulation Blankets
The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage or
defect caused by installation, attachment, or use of any type of
energy saving or other unapproved devices (other than those
authorized by the manufacturer) into, onto or in conjunction with
the water heater. The manufacturer will not accept any liability
for loss or injury resulting from the use of such unauthorized
devices. The use of unauthorized energy saving devices may
shorten the life of the water heater and may result in property
damage, personal injury, or death.
Insulation blankets for external use on electric water heaters are
not necessary. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the
standby heat loss associated with the operation of storage tank water
heaters. This water heater meets or exceeds the NRCAN standards
with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements making an
insulation blanket unnecessary.
If local codes require the application of an external insulation blanket
to this water heater, pay careful attention to the following so as not to
restrict the proper function and operation of the water heater:
DO NOT cover the operating or warning labels attached to the water
heater or attempt to relocate them on the exterior of insulation blanket.
DO NOT cover the element and thermostat access door or tempera-
ture and pressure-relief valve.
Inspect the insulation blanket frequently.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Start-up Procedure
1) Turn on the circuit breaker at the main service panel.
2) Make sure the fuse box or power switch (if one exists) next to the
water heater is pushed to “ON”.
3) If you smell smoke, refer to What to do if you smell smoke.
4) Wait one (1) hour. At this time, hot water should be available at the
faucet.
5) If after one (1) hour you do not have any hot water, check that the
fuse or circuit breaker is in working condition.
6) Wait another hour. If at this time you still do not have any hot
water, call a qualified service technician.
Note: If after one (1) hour you receive only a small amount of hot
water, check that the plumbing connections are not reversed.
Safety Controls
This water heater is equipped with a thermostat and high limit assembly
(ECO) that is located above the upper heating element. If for any reason
the temperature of the water becomes excessively high, the ECO will
break the power circuit to the heating element. Once the control opens,
it must be reset manually.
To reset the ECO:
1) Turn “OFF” the power to the water heater.
2) Remove the upper element and thermostat access door and the
insulation.
3) Press the red RESET button.
4) Replace the insulation and the element and thermostat access
door before turning “ON” the power to the water heater.
Water Temperature Regulation
The higher the setting, the greater the risk of scalding. Hot water
cancausethirddegreeburnsinunderone(1)secondat160˚F
(71˚C), in six (6) seconds at 140˚F (60˚C), and in thirty (30)
seconds at 130˚F (54˚C). In households where there are
children, physically challenged individuals, or elderly persons,
mixing valves for point of use are necessary as means of reducing
the scalding potential of hot water.
The thermostat is factory set at 140˚F (60˚C) for Canadian models
and125˚F(52˚C)forU.S.models.
To adjust the temperature on the thermostat:
1) Turn “OFF” the power to the water heater.
2) Remove the element and thermostat access door and the insulation.
On U.S. models DO NOT remove the thermostat protective cover.
3) Using a small flathead screwdriver, turn the thermostat dial to the
desired temperature.
4) Replace the insulation and the element and thermostat access
door before turning “ON” the power to the water heater.
Condensation
Condensation can form on the surface of the water heater:
1) When the water heater is filled with cold water for the first time.
2) If the water heater has been undersized.
3) When large amounts of hot water are drawn from the water heater
in a short period of time, and the refill water is very cold.
This condition is not uncommon and must never be misinterpreted
as a leaking tank. It will disappear once the water becomes heated.
Because the water can condense, it is very important that a drain
pan be installed under the water heater (refer to Figure 1A or
1B). Under no circumstances is the manufactu rer to be held
liable for any water damage, in connection with this water
heater. If the problem does not go away and water continues
to drip after the water heater has heated up, check all of the
plumbing connections to make sure they are not leaking.
Element or Thermostat Replacement
Before attempting to repair or replace any of the electrical
components on this water heater, turn “OFF” the power to the
water heater. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock and/
or property damage, personal injury, or death.
Replacing an Element (See Figure 3)
1) Turn “OFF” the power to the water heater and drain all of the water
from the water heater (see Draining the Water Heater, page 11).
2) Remove the element and thermostat access door and the insulation.
3) Disconnect the wires from the element terminals.
4) For a square flange element, undo the four (4) bolts securing the
element to the water heater.
For a screw-in element, with the help of a 1.5 inch socket wrench,
remove the element by unscrewing it from the water heater in a
counterclockwise motion.
For TWIST-LOCK system, unscrew the four (4) bolts securing the
element to the water heater and pull element out of the tank. Make
sure the TWIST-LOCK flange is in the right position (
See Figure 4
).
5) Replace the element with a new element of the same wattage and
voltage. Make sure that the gasket surface is clean and that the
element has been re-installed water-tight with a new gasket.
6) Re-connect the wiring and tighten securely.
7) Re-fill the water heater (see Filing the Water Heater, page 3). DO
NOT TURN THE POWER ON TO THE WATER HEATER UNLESS
YOU ARE SURE IT IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH WATER.
8) Inspect for any leaks and repair, if necessary
9) Replace the insulation and element and thermostat access door
before turning “ON” the power to the water heater.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Replacing a Thermostat (See Figure 3)
1) Turn “OFF” the power to the water heater.
2) Remove the element and thermostat access door and the
insulation.
3) Disconnect the wires from the thermostat terminals.
4) Lift the thermostat bracket arms and slide the thermostat up to
remove it.
5) Replace the thermostat with a new thermostat of the same manu-
facturer and type.
6) Reconnect the wires on the thermostat terminals referring to the
corresponding wiring diagram in Figure 2.
7) Set the thermostat to the desired temperature (see Water
Temperature Regulation, page 9).
8) Replace the insulation and element and the thermostat access
door before turning “ON” the power to the water heater.
Temperature and Pressure-Relief Valve
Manually operate the temperature and pressure-relief valve at least
once a year, standing clear of the outlet to avoid being burned. Lift
and release the operating lever on the valve to make it operate freely.
If, after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset itself
and continues to discharge water, replace it with a new one.
Anode
This water heater is equipped with an anode that is designed
to prolong the life of the glass-lined tank. The anode is slowly
consumed, protecting the glass-lined tank from corrosion. The anode
should be inspected every two (2) years. If more than half of the
anode has been consumed, it should be replaced. Instructions on
how to change the anode can be obtained from the manufacturer.
The life expectancy of the water heater is reduced where a water
softener is introduced to fight hard water. The sodium salts added
by a softener make the water extremely conductive, therefore,
the anode are consumed more rapidly. Under these conditions,
the magnesium anode must be replaced by an aluminum anode
approved by Giant, along with the addition of zinc pellets.
In certain water conditions, the anode will react with the water,
producing discoloured or smelly water. The most common complaint
is hot water that smells like rotten eggs. This phenomenon is the
result of the reaction between the magnesium of the anode and
hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water, which occurs frequently
in well systems. This problem can usually be eliminated or reduced

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
by changing the magnesium anode to a type more suitable for these
conditions (aluminum anode) and by chlorinating the water heater
and plumbing system. If the problem persists, special filtration
equipment may be required. Under no circumstances is the anode to
be removed from the water heater on a permanent basis. Removal
of the anode will lead to premature failure of the water heater
and void the warranty.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has
not been used for a long period of time (generally two [2] weeks
or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
It is highly recommended to open the hot water faucet in
the kitchen for several minutes before you use any electrical
appliances connected to the hot water system, such as a
dishwasher or washing machine. If hydrogen gas is present,
there will be an unusual sound, such as air escaping through the
pipe, as the hot water faucet is opened. DO NOT smoke or intro-
duce an open flame near the faucet when it is opened.
Draining the Water Heater
Drain a pail of water through the drain valve at least once a year.
This will remove excess sediment from the bottom of the tank. This
sediment, if allowed to accumulate, will reduce the efficiency and the
life of the tank.
To completely drain the water heater:
1) Turn “OFF” the power to the water heater.
2) Close the cold water supply manual shut-off valve.
3) Connect one end of a garden hose to the water heater drain valve
and put the other end next to a free-flowing drain.
4) Open the drain valve by inserting a flat head screwdriver into
the slot on the head of the drain valve and turning the knob
counterclockwise .
5) Open a hot water faucet to allow air into the system.
Vacation
If you are planning a vacation or other prolonged absence, it is
essential to turn “OFF” the power to the water heater and the cold
water supply to the water heater. This preventive action will save
energy, protect against property damage in the event the water
heater leaks, and prevent the build-up of hydrogen gas. If the water
heater and piping are exposed to freezing temperatures, they should
both be drained. Remember to check the water heater thoroughly
after it has been shut off for an extended period of time before putting
it back in operation. Make sure that the water heater is completely
full of water, and that the cold water supply manual shut-off valve is
open, before turning “ON” the power to the water heater.
Getting Service for your Water Heater
If you are having problems with your water heater, follow these three
easy steps:
1) Read the Troubleshooting Guide contained in this manual
(see Page 14). It lists the most common problems experienced
