It is recommended that the tank be drained and flushed every 6 months to remove sediment which may build up during operation. The water heater should be drained
if being shut down during freezing temperatures. To drain the tank, perform the following steps:
Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is turned "OFF".
Failure to do this could result in death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.
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 circuit breaker/ fuse box.
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 as directed in this manual. 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.
If the water heater is going to be shut down for an extended )eriod, the drain valve should be left open.
Improper installation and use may result in property damage.
•Fill tank with water before operation.
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.
Element Removal/Replacement
•Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical
supply to the water heater is turned "OFF".
•Failure to do this could result in death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.
Replacement heating elements must be of the same style and voltage/wattage rating as the ones originally in the water heater. This information can be found on the flange or terminal block of the element or on the water heater data plate.
IMPORTANT: Before replacing any element confirm that you have the correct replacement element (wattage). This water heater has a 4500 watt upper element and a 2000 watt lower element. DO NOT replace the element(s) with a wattage different than the ones specified for the upper and/or lower element.
IMPORTANT: Using an element greater than 2000 watts in place of the lower element will damage the water heater.
