Draining and Filling the Water Heater

Draining and Filling the Water Heater

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.Place the water heater in Standby Mode by pressing the power button on the user interface module.

2.Turn off the power to the water heater at the breaker or disconnect switch serving the water heater.

3.Open a nearby hot water faucet until the water is no longer hot.

4.Close the cold water inlet valve.

5.Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate it to an adequate drain or external to the building.

6.Open the water heater drain valve and allow all of the water to drain from the tank. Flush the tank with water as needed to remove sediment.

7.Close the drain valve, refill the tank (open the cold water inlet valve), and restart the heater. IMPORTANT: Do not turn on power to the water heater unless it is completely filled with water. To ensure that the tank is full, open a hot water faucet and allow the water to run until the air is purged and the water flows uninterrupted from the faucet.

8.Press the power button to turn the water heater on. NOTE: the water heater will conduct a system diagnostic prior to operation that takes approximately 8 minutes.

If the water heater is going to be shut down for an extended period, the drain valve should be left open.

NOTE: If the water heater is going to be shut down and drained for an extended period, the drain valve should be left open with the hose connected, allowing water to terminate to an adequate drain or external to the structure.

Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water. To prevent damage to the tank and heating element, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning on power.
