READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS WATER HEATER. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found on "INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS". [. . . ] The water utility supply meter may contain a check valve, backflow preventer or water pressure reducing valve which will create a closed water system. During the heating cycle of the water heater, the water expands causing pressure inside the water heater to increase. The temperature and pressure relief valve may discharge hot water under these conditions which results in a loss of energy and a build-up of lime on the relief valve seat. To prevent this from happening, there are two recommendations: 1. Install a diaphragm-type expansion tank that is suitable for potable water on the cold water supply line. The expansion tank must have a minimum capacity of 1. 5 U. S. gallons for every 50 gallons of stored water. Install a 125 PSI pressure relief valve in the cold water supply line. Make sure the discharge of this valve is directed to an open drain and protected from freezing. Contact the local water supplier or plumbing inspector for information on how to control this situation. Do not plug the temperature and pressure relief valve. Closed system thermal expansion (for all models) Instructions for use Starting and testing Before connecting the power, fill the tank and system with water and check for leaks. To be certain that all air is out of the water system, open the hot water faucets on your fixtures until constant water flows from them, otherwise damage to the element may occur. To start the heating cycle: A) first make sure tank is full. Otherwise the heating element may be damaged. B) the red light will come on and remain on until that temperature has been reached, at which point the light will go off, but will automatically come back on when the water temperature drops below the setting chosen. After installation check the water temperature. If adjustment is necessary, remove front cover to adjust thermostat (D Fig. 4 -clockwise to increase the temperature and counter clockwise to decrease it). 3/1) with a small flat-head screwdriver. Remove the Phillips screw revealed beneath the round cover plate. Temperature Setting 6 3. The cover (C Fig. 3/1) can now be removed by pulling out its left-hand edge. When reassembling, work in the opposite way being careful to insert the tongue of the cover into the slot. FIG. [. . . ] (see section on changing the thermostat). Adjust the temperature selector dial (D Fig. Check water fittings and T & P fitting on top of tank. Remove front cover and inspect heating element gasket. [. . . ]
