Do not energize electrical system before heater

is completely filled with water. Damage caused to the immersion heating elements by dry fire is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Follow start up procedure in the manual. Water heater corrosion and component failure caused by air-borne chemical vapors is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Corrosion damage caused by current leakage due to improper grounding of electrical systems or electronic components to the storage tank and related piping is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Under no circumstance will the manufacturer be liable for consequential damages resulting from the installation or use of this equipment. Correct installation procedure and local codes must be adhered to.
