a_ WARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Before removing

any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is turned "OFF". Failure to do this could result in

DAMAGE.

2.Remove the two screws securing the access panel and remove panel.

3.Remove the insulation block to expose the opening.

4. Reset the high limit by pushing in the red button marked

"RESET".

1. In a new installation, the water heater may not be proper- ly connected. Make sure the cold water supply valve is open. Review and check piping installation. Make sure that the cold water line is connected to the cold water inlet to the water heater and the hot water line to the hot water outlet on the water heater.

2.Make sure the electrical supply to your water heater is "ON".

3. Check for loose or blown fuses in your water heater cir- cuit. Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not han- dle their rated load and should be replaced.

4. Make certain the disconnectswitch, if used, is in the "ON" position.

5.Check to see the electric service to your house has not been interrupted. If this is the case, contact the electric company.

6.Axe the thermostats set to the desired temperature? See "Temperature Regulation" section.

7. If you had experienced very hot water and now no hot water, the problem may be due to the high temperature shut off system. See "High Temperature Shut Off System" in the "Troubleshooting" section.

8. During very cold weather, the incoming water wi]l also be colder and it will require a longer time to become heated.

5. Replace the insulation block so that it completely covers the thermostat and element.

6. Replace the access panel.

7. Turn "ON" electric power to the water heater.
