SECTION V: WATER CONNECTIONS

WARNING

Failure to install and maintain a new, listed pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any claim, which might result from excessive temperature and pressures.

Keep clear of the pressure relief valve discharge line outlet. The discharge may be hot enough to cause scald injury. The water is under pressure and may splash.

WARNING

DO NOT reverse the inlet and outlet (cold and hot water) connections on the water heater. This may cause a hazardous operating condition or the water heater may be inoperable

WATER QUALITY

The EVERHOT→ water heater must have the water quality within the following limits for long life and reliable operation (see Table 2). The water supply should be tested to make sure the quality is within the specified limits. If there is a problem with the water quality, contact your local water conditioning company for equipment to condition the water supply to this appliance.

NOTICE

Operating this water heater with water conditions outside the specified limits will void the warranty.

Lime Condition Warning Signal:

If the EVERHOT water heater is operated under hard water conditions without a water conditioner, the error code “LC” may flash on the remote temperature display. This code means the heat exchanger coil is beginning to accumulate scale deposits and MUST be flushed (see Section IX, “Flushing Procedure for Lime Scale Removal…”). Contact your installer for a qualified service technician to flush the heat exchanger. A water conditioner may be needed to prevent this condition from reoccurring.

NOTICE

Failure to flush the appliance when “LC” is flashing will cause damage to the heat exchanger. Damage caused by lime or scale build up is not covered by the water heater warranty.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTIONS

1.BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE. After shutting off the main water supply, open a faucet to relieve the water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes while making the water connections to the water heater. The COLD water inlet and HOT water outlet are identified on the bottom casing of the water heater. Make the proper plumbing connections between the water heater and the plumbing system to the house. All soldering materials and piping must be compatible with potable water. Unions should be installed on both the hot and cold water lines for future servicing and disconnection of the water heater. Install a shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
