WARRANTY

Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does not apply to units improperly installed or improperly operated.

Experience has shown that improper installation or system design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of most operating problems.

Excessive water hardness causing a lime/scale build-up in the heater and/or on the immersion heating elements is not the fault of the equipment and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. (See Water Treatment and Water Chemistry)

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.

NOTE: Retain this manual for future reference.
