may satisfy your normal hot water needs. If hot water use is expected to be more than normal, a higher thermostat setting may
be required to meet the increased demand. When leaving your home for extended periods (vacations, etc.) Set the electronic
control display temperature "COOLER"(_)button to its lowest setting. This will maintain the water at tow temperatures with minimum energy losses and prevent the tank from freezing during cold weather.

3.Disconnect the electric connection by unplugging the water heater from the wall outlet.
4.Shut off the incoming water supply to the water heater and open a nearby hot water faucet to depressurize the water tank.
5.Remove the manifold cover outer door and connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate it to adequate drain or to the exterior of the building. Open the drain valve and allow at least 5 gallons of water from the tank to drain. Close drain and remove hose.
6.Unplug the electrical connection on top of the powered anode by pulling the wire connector up and off of the powered anode rod electrical connector (Figure 33).
