   Unit is activated by the flow of water through the inlet. A desired temperature set point is selected by using the “up” or “down” buttons, if unit does not respond push the center “power” button and try again. Test water to prevent scalding.

WARNING

• If your water heater requires a reset, be sure to TURN OFF THE BREAKERS prior to resetting the unit.
• Resetting your unit without turning off the breakers can result in personal injury and damage to your water heater.
• WARNING! There is water contained in the coils of your water heater at all times. If your water heater is exposed to freezing temperatures, the water in the coils could freeze, causing a break in the heat exchanger of the unit, or the supply and return lines. This kind of damage will result in water running freely into the space where the water heater is located, which can cause flooding.
• DO NOT install this water heater where it may be subjected to a freeze. If your water heater is in an area where freezing is a possibility, you must turn off the water to the heater and drain it of any water by disconnecting the water lines. Leave the water lines disconnected until you intend to use the water heater.
