GENERAL SAFETY

INFORMATION

INSULATION BLANKETS

Insulation blankets available to the general public for external use on electric water heaters are not approved for use on your State water heater. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank water heaters. Your State water heater meets or exceeds the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements, making an insulation blanket unnecessary.

WARNING

Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you should follow these instructions (See Figure 1 for identification of components mentioned below). Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, asphyxiation, serious personal injury or death.

1.DO NOT COVER THE JUNCTION BOX EXTERNAL WIRING, THERMOSTATS OR HEATING ELEMENTS ON ELECTRIC WATER HEATER.

2.DO NOT COVER THE TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE.

3.DO NOT COVER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, INSTALLATION OR SAFETY RELATED LABELS.

4.DO OBTAIN NEW WARNING AND INSTRUCTION LABELS FROM STATE WATER HEATERS FOR PLACEMENT ON THE BLANKET DIRECTLY OVER THE EXISTING LABELS.

5.WATER AND/OR CONDENSATE CAN COLLECT IN AN INSULATION BLANKET. STATE WATER HEATERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY RUST OR CORROSION DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE INSTALLATION OF INSULATION BLANKETS.

WARNING

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

EXTERNAL DAMAGE

Do not operate the water heater until it has been fully checked out by a qualified service technician, if the water heater:

•Has been exposed to fire or damage.

•Produces steam or unusually hot water.

If the water heater has been subject to flooding, it must be replaced.

INSTALLATION

REQUIRED ABILITY

INSTALLATION OR SERVICE OF THIS WATER HEATER REQUIRES ABILITY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED TRADESMAN IN THE FIELD INVOLVED. PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL WORK INVOLVED.

GENERAL

The installation must conform to these instructions and the local code authority having jurisdiction. Grounding and electrical wiring connected to the water heater must also conform to the latest version of the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE and NFPA-70. Copies of these codes may be obtained from American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018.

If your location requires the installation of the water heater to comply with National Sanitation Foundation requirements, the heater must be sealed to the floor so as to prevent seepage underneath the heater. The following are recommended sealants that may be used on all types of flooring except concrete: GE Silicone Seal RTV-120, 103, 108 and 109.

DO NOT TEST ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE HEATER IS FILLED WITH WATER, FOLLOW START UP PROCEDURE AS WRITTEN IN “OPERATION” SECTION OF THIS MANUAL.

The principal components of the heater are identified in figure 1. The model and rating plate on page 3 interprets certain markings into useful information. Both of these references should be used to identify the heater, its components and optional equipment.

LOCATION

For proper installation, the heater should be installed on a level surface.

LOCATE IT NEAR A FLOOR DRAIN. THE HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE LEAKAGE FROM THE HEATER OR CONNECTIONS WILL NOT RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ADJACENT AREA OR TO LOWER FLOORS OF THE STRUCTURE.

WHEN SUCH LOCATIONS CANNOT BE AVOIDED, A SUITABLE DRAIN PAN SHOULD BE INSTALLED UNDER THE HEATER. Such pans should be fabricated with sides at least 2” (50.8 mm) deep, with length and width at least 2” (50.8 mm) greater than the diameter of the heater and must be piped to an adequate drain. Drain pans suitable for these heaters are available from your distributor or State Water Heaters, 500 Lindahl Parkway, Ashland City, TN 37015.

Locate the heater close to the point of major hot water usage and the power supply.

•Try to make hot water piping and branch circuit wiring as short as possible.

•Insulate hot and cold water piping where heat loss and condensation may be a problem.

THE HEATER SHOULD NOT BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING.

Suggested clearances from adjacent surfaces are 18 inches (457.2 mm) in front for access to the controls and elements and 12 inches (304.8 mm) from top. The heater may be installed on or against combustible surfaces.

CONNECTIONS

The heater water inlet is located on the side of the heater near the bottom. The heater outlet is located at the top of the heater.

Piping and wiring diagrams are included in this manual.
