    Never use the water heater unless it is completely full of water. 
    To prevent damage to the tank and the heating element, the tank 
    must  be  filled  with  water.    Water  must  flow  from  the  hot  water 
    faucet before turning on the power.
    You must provide all wiring of the proper size outside of the water 
    heater. You must obey the local codes and the electric company 
    requirements when you install this wiring.
    This water heater is supplied with a flexible, grounded power cord 
    and connects to a standard three-wire 120 volt 60Hz, grounded 
    type  outlet.  If  an  outlet  is  not  within  reach  of  the  power  cord, 
    contact a local electrician/electrical contractor or the local electric 
    utility to have a properly sized circuit (including outlet, wiring and 
    breaker)  installed.  NOTE:  Check  the  water  heater ’s  data  plate 
    for power requirements.
    If  you  are  not  familiar  with  the  electric  codes  and  practices,  or 
    if  you  have  any  doubt,  even  the  slightest  doubt,  in  your  ability 
    to  connect  the  wiring  to  this  water  heater,  obtain  the  service  of 
    a  competent  electrician.    Contact  a  local  electrical  contractor 
    and/or the local electric utility.
    WATER  HEATERS  EQUIPPED  FOR  ONE  VOLTAGE  ONLY: 
    This water heater is equipped for one type voltage only. Check 
    the  rating  plate  near  the  bottom  access  panel  for  the  correct 
    voltage.  DO  NOT  use  this  water  heater  with  any  voltage  other 
    than the one shown on the model rating plate. Failure to use the 
    correct voltage can cause problems which can result in DEATH, 
    SERIOUS  BODILY  INJURY,  OR  PROPERTY  DAMAGE.  If  you 
    have any questions or doubts consult your electric company.
    If wiring from your fuse box or circuit breaker box was aluminum 
    for your old water heater, replace it with copper wire. If you wish 
    to reuse the existing aluminum wire, have the connection at the 
    water heater made by a competent electrician.  Contact a local 
    electrical contractor and/or the local electric utility.

    temperature adjustment
    To change the temperature setting:
    The  white  knob  on  the  front  of  the  water  heater  is  the  temperature 
    control.  When  the  “OFF”  mark  is  aligned  with  the  raised  indicator 
    arrow, the water heater is off. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the 
    temperature, and counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. The 
    knob is marked with circular indentations of increasing size. The larger 
    the indentation, the higher the temperature setting. See Figure 6. The 
    temperature  range  of  this  water  heater  is  68°F  at  the  lowest  setting 
    and 150°F at the maximum setting. This water heater is shipped in the 
    “OFF” position. Adjust the dial to the desired temperature.

    thermal eXpansion
    Water  supply  systems  may,  because  of  such  events  as  high  line 
    pressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer among others, 
    have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, 
    back flow preventers, etc. to control these types of problems. When 
    these devices are not equipped with an internal by-pass, and no other 
    measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be closed.  
    As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed systems 
    do not allow for the expansion of heated water.
    The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and 
    increases the pressure of the water system.  If the relieving point of 
    the water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, the 
    valve will relieve the excess pressure.  t
     he temperature-pressure 
    relief  valve  is  not  intended  for  the  constant  relief  of  thermal 
    expansion.  This is an unacceptable condition and must be corrected. 
    It is recommended that any devices installed which could create a 
    closed system have a by-pass and/or the system have an expansion 
    tank or device to relieve the pressure built by thermal expansion in 
    the water system.  Expansion tanks are available for ordering through 
    a local plumbing contractor.  Contact the local water heater supplier 
    or service agency for assistance in controlling these situations.

    Ge sounds
    Possible  noises  due  to  expansion  and  contraction  of  some  metal 
    parts  during  periods  of  heat-up  and  cool-down  do  not  necessarily 
    represent harmful or dangerous conditions.
    operational conditions
    w ater odor
    In each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod (see 
    parts  sections)  for  corrosion  protection  of  the  tank.  Certain  water 
    conditions  will  cause  a  reaction  between  this  rod  and  the  water.  
    The most common complaint associated with the anode rod is one 
    of  a  “rotten  egg  smell”  in  the  hot  water.  This  odor  is  derived  from 
    hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is the result 
    of four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop:
    A. 
    
     A concentration of sulfate in the supply water.
    B.   Little or no dissolved oxygen in the water.
    C.   A  sulfate  reducing  bacteria  which  has  accumulated  within  the 
    water heater (this harmless bacteria is nontoxic to humans).
    D. 
    
      An excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by the 
    corrosion protective action of the anode.
    Smelly  water  may  be  eliminated  or  reduced  in  some  water  heater  
    models  by  replacing  the  anode(s)  with  one  of  less  active  material, 
    and  then  chlorinating  the  water  heater  tank  and  all  hot  water  lines.  
    Contact the local water heater supplier or service agency for further 
    information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit and this chlorination 
    treatment. If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement and 
    chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that chlorination or aeration 
    of the water supply be considered to eliminate the water problem.
    d o
    
     not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing 
    so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.
    “air” in hot water faucets
    HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water 
    system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally 
    two  weeks  or  more).    Hydrogen  gas  is  extremely  flammable  and 
    explosive.  To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, 
    we recommend the hot water faucet, located farthest away be opened 
    for  several  minutes  before  any  electrical  appliances  which  are 
    connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dishwasher 
    or washing machine).  If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably 
    be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the 
    hot  water  faucet  is  opened.    There  must  be  no  smoking  or  open 
    flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

    Gh water temperature shut off sYstem
    A  non-adjustable  high  temperature  limit  control  operates  before 
    steam  temperatures  are  reached.  The  high  limit  switch  must  be  reset 
    manually  when  it  operates.  BECAUSE THE  HIGH  LIMIT  OPERATES  
    ONLY  WHEN  ABNORMALLY  HIGH  WATER  TEMPERATURES 
    ARE  PRESENT,  IT  IS  IMPORTANT  THAT  A  QUALIFIED  
    SERVICE  AGENT  BE  CONTACTED  TO  DETERMINE 
    THE  REASON  FOR  OPERATION  BEFORE  RESETTING .
    •  Turn  off  and  unplug  the  water  heater.  Do  not  attempt  to  reset 
    thermostat with power on.
    •
      Remove  the  front  panel,  see  “Removing  Front  Panel”  in  the 
    Periodic Maintenance section.
    •
    
      Remove the insulation to expose the reset button.
    •  Reset the high limit by pushing in the red button.
    •  Replace the insulation so that it completely covers the thermostat 
    and element.
    •
    
      Replace the front panel.
    •  Plug in and turn on the water heater.

    If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and 
    continues  to  release  water,  immediately  close  the  cold  water  inlet 
    to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the 
    temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.
    If  the  temperature-pressure  relief  valve  on  the  appliance  weeps 
    or  discharges  periodically,  this  may  be  due  to  thermal  expansion.  
    You  may  have  a  check  valve  installed  in  the  water  line  or  a  water 
    meter  with  a  check  valve.    Consult  your  local  water  supplier  or 
    service agency for  further information.  Do not plug or remove the 
    temperature-pressure relief valve.
    draininG
    The  water  heater  should  be  drained  if  being  shut  down  during 
    freezing  temperatures.    Also  periodic  draining  and  cleaning  of 
    sediment from the tank may be necessary.
    1. 
      Turn off and unplug the water heater from the electrical outlet.
    2.   CLOSE the cold water inlet valve to the water heater.
    3.   OPEN  a  nearby  hot  water  faucet  and  leave  open  to  allow  for 
    draining.
    4. 
    
      Disconnect water connections. Remove unit from wall. UNIT WILL 
    BE HEAVY. Turn unit upside down and drain unit into a suitable 
    drain or receptacle.

    1.   Turn  off  and  unplug  the  water  heater  from  the  electrical  outlet 
    and follow “DRAINING INSTRUCTIONS.”
    2. 
      Remove the temperature knob by pulling straight out.
    anode rod inspection
    The anode rod is used to protect the tank from corrosion. Most hot 
    water tanks are equipped with an anode rod. The submerged rod 
    sacrifices itself to protect the tank. Instead of corroding the tank, water 
    ions  attack  and  eat  away  the  anode  rod. This  does  not  affect  the 
    water’s taste or color. The rod must be maintained to keep the tank 
    in operating condition.
    NOTE: Artificially softened water is more corrosive because the process 
    substitutes sodium ions for magnesium and calcium ions. The use of a 
    water softener may decrease the life of the water heater tank.

    indicates high water conductivity and should be checked and/or 
    replaced  more  often  than    an  anode  rod  that  appears  to  be 
    intact.  Replacement  of  a  depleted  anode  rod  can  extend  the 
    life  of  your  water  heater.  Inspection  should  be  conducted  by  a 
    qualified technician, and at a minimum should be checked every 
    three years. The anode rod in this unit is attached to the element 
    flange.  For  removal  instructions,  see  “ EL

    If the anode rod shows signs of either or both it should be replaced. 
    NOTE: Whether re-installing or replacing  the anode rod, check 
    for any leaks and immediately correct if found.

    s ervice
    If  a  condition  persists  or  you  are  uncertain  about  the  operation 
    of the water heater contact a service agency.

    suspected “Leakers” are not leaking tanks.  Often the source of 
    the water can be found and corrected.
    If  you  are  not  thoroughly  familiar  with  your  water  heater  and 
    safety practices, contact a qualified installer to check the water 
    heater.

    Read this manual first.  Make sure the electrical power supply has 
    been turned “OFF” before checking the tank for leakage.
     *A.
     Condensation and dripping may be seen on pipes if the water 
    temperature is low in humid weather or pipe connections may 
    be leaking.
      B.
    
      Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure relief valve 
    may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in your 
    area.  If  the  valve  is  not  piped  to  an  open  drain  the  released 
    water  could  be  mistaken  for  a  leaking  heater,  see  “Thermal 
    Expansion” section.
      *C.
    
      The  temperature-pressure  relief  valve  may  be  leaking  at  the 
    tank fitting.
      D. 
    
      Water on the side of the tank may be condensation due to the 
    panel or insulation not being in place.
       
      *E.
      Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from 
    condensation, loose connections, or the relief valve.  DO NOT 
    replace  the  water  heater  until  a  full  inspection  of  all  possible 
    water sources is made and necessary corrective steps taken.
     
    
      Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage 
    should also be checked.
      *
    
        To  check  where  threaded  portion  enters  tank,  insert  cotton 
    swab between jacket opening and fitting.  If cotton is wet, follow 
    “Draining”  instructions  in  the  “Periodic  Maintenance”  section 
    and  then  remove  fitting.    Put  pipe  dope  or  teflon  tape  on  the 
    threads  and  replace.    Then  follow    “Filling  the  Water  Heater” 
    instructions in the “Installing the New Water Heater” section.
