Locating the Water Heater

Warning
This water heater is certified for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty. Failure to install the water heater indoors could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Caution
All water heaters eventually leak. Locate the water heater where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. Any water heater should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area in which it is installed. National Plumbing codes require a drain pan for any water heater installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of the owner and/or installer. Reference UPC 2000 (Uniform Plumbing Code) Section 510 – Protection from Damage or IPC 200 (International Plumbing Code) Section 504 – Safety Devices. Leakage damages ARE NOT covered by warranty.

In addition, water leak detection devices and automatic water shutoff valves are readily available at plumbing supply houses. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO INSTALL WATER LEAK DETECTION DEVICES AND AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVES IN ANY WATER HEATER INSTALLATION WHERE A LEAKAGE OF WATER COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE.

1. Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions
   Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32oF / 0oC and lower than 104oF / 40oC
   Avoid continuously high levels of humidity
   Never close existing ventilation openings

NOTE
When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not be possible to read or view some product labelling. It is recommended to make note of the water heater model and serial number.

NOTE
A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable for front clearance.

Caution
The service life of the water heater’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the junction box, is directly influenced by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In such areas, higher concentration levels of chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity can lead to the degradation of water heater components and cause premature water heater failure. Such failures ARE NOT covered by warranty.

Failure of the water heater or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by the product warranty.

Warning
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating system and put the safe operation at risk. Ensure that the installation location adheres to the information included in this manual. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Choose a location for the water heater as centralized to the piping and electrical system as possible. Also, locate the water heater and domestic water piping where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. All piping should be insulated. Additionally, place the water heater so that the drain, controls, and inlets/outlets are easily accessible.

NOTE : To save on heating costs and improve energy efficiency keep the distance between the water heater and fixtures to a minimum to reduce heat loss from excess piping and keep friction loss at a minimum. Ensure all water heater piping is properly insulated to minimize heat loss.

NOTE : If you do not provide the minimum recommended service clearances it might not be possible to service the water heater without removing it from the space.

NOTE : In the State of California, the water heater must be braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid moving during an earthquake. Contact local utilities for code requirements in your area. Visit http://www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov or call 1-916-445-8100 and request instructions.

• Check the area around the water heater. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.

Danger
This water heater must not be located near flammable liquids such as gasoline, butane, liquefied propane, adhesives, solvents, paint thinners, etc., as the controls of this water heater could ignite these vapors and cause an explosion resulting in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.

Warning
This water heater must be installed upright in the vertical position as described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to install this water heater in any other orientation. Doing so will result in improper water heater operation and property damage, and could result in serious personal injury or death.

If the water heater is to replace an existing water heater, check for and correct any existing system problems such as:

• System leaks
• Location that could cause the system and water heater to freeze and leak
• Incorrectly-sized expansion tank

This water heater must be installed vertical on a level surface.

Water Chemistry Requirements

Caution
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe damage to the appliance and associated equipment. Water quality must be professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to treat the water. Various solutions are available to adjust water quality. Adverse water quality will affect the reliability of the system. In addition, operating temperatures above 135oF will accelerate the build-up of lime scale and possibly shorten appliance service life. Failure of an appliance due to lime scale build-up, low pH, or other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

The water must be potable, and free of corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, and other contaminants. It is up to the installer to ensure the water does not contain corrosive chemicals or elements that can damage the heat exchanger. Potable water is defined as drinkable water supplied from utility or well water in compliance with EPA secondary maximum contaminant levels (40 CFR Part 143.3). If the water contains contaminants higher than outlined by the EPA, water treatment is recommended and additional, more frequent maintenance may be required. If you suspect that your water is contaminated in any way, discontinue the use of the appliance and contact an authorized technician or licensed professional.

Water pH between 6.5 and 8.5

• pH levels below 6.5 can cause an increase in the rate of corrosion. pH of 8.5 or higher can potentially cause limescale build-up
• Maintain water pH between 6.5 and 8.5. Check with litmus paper or have it chemically analyzed by a local water treatment company.
• If the pH is not between 6.5 and 8.5, consult a local water treatment company for solutions.

Hardness between 4 grains (70 mg/L) and 20 grains (350mg/L):

• The appliance must not be supplied with water of hardness less than 4 grains (70 mg/L), nor with especially hard water (greater than 20 grains (350mg/L)); we recommend installing a water softener, properly calibrated and controlled – do not allow the residual hardness to fall below 9 grains (150mg/L).

Chloride concentration less than 100 ppm (mg/L)

• Do not fill appliances or operate with water containing chlorides above 100 ppm (mg/L).
• Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable as levels are typically less than 5 ppm (mg/L).
• Do not connect the appliance to directly heat the swimming pool or spa water.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) less than 500 ppm (mg/L)

• Total dissolved solids are minerals, salts, metals, and charged particles that are dissolved in water.
• The greater the amounts of TDS present, the higher the corrosion potential due to increased conductivity in the water.
• If using softened water to fill the appliance, it is still possible to have high TDS. This water can be corrosive. Consult local water treatment companies for other treatment solutions to reduce this effect.

Water conductivity not higher than 1200 μS / cm

NOTE
To promote appliance service life, it is strongly recommended to follow the maintenance procedures in this manual.

Caution
Failure of electric elements due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH, or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

Installation Instructions

These water heaters are designed to be installed under the sink.

Mounting the Water Heater

1. Wall Mounting
   Fasten the supplied mounting bracket to the wall.
   Notice
   Use screws suitable for the wall material and the weight of the water heater. Failure to do so could result in property damage and damage to the water heater. Such damages ARE NOT covered by product warranty.
   Hang the water heater on the bracket.
   Tug down on the water heater to ensure that both “fingers” of the bracket are seated in the mounting slots.

2. Floor Mounting
   The water heater can be installed on the floor. Install the included adhesive rubber floor mounting feet onto the bottom of the water heater. See the rubber feet installation instructions included in the pack.
   Plumbing
   It is mandatory that all plumbing be done following federal, local, and state plumbing codes and practices. Failure to properly install the water heater WILL VOID the warranty. It is also necessary to use both thread tape and pipe dope on all mechanical plumbing connections. Install unions on the hot and cold water connections to easily disconnect the water heater for servicing.

• Connect the cold water inlet pipe to the inlet tapping (marked with a blue ring).
• Ensure an isolation valve is installed on the cold water supply to the water heater.
• Connect the hot water outlet pipe to the outlet tapping (marked with a red ring).

Caution
Do not apply heat to the Hot or Cold water heater connections. If sweat connections are used, sweat tubing to the adapter before fitting the adapter to the water connections on the heater. Any heat applied to the water heater connections will permanently damage the dip tube and/or heat traps. Damages due to improper installation practices ARE NOT covered by warranty.

Failure of electric elements due to limescale build-up on the heating surface, low pH, or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

Thermal Expansion
A check valve may be installed in the cold water inlet line as a separate backflow preventer or may be part of a pressure-reducing valve, water meter, or water softener. An “open water system” refers to a system without a check valve. A “closed water system” refers to a system with a check valve installed in the cold water inlet line. As water is heated, it expands in volume and increases pressure within the water system. This action is referred to as “thermal expansion”. In an open water system, expanding water that exceeds the capacity of the system flows back into the city main where pressure is easily dissipated.

A closed water system prevents expanding water from flowing back to the city’s main. The resulting thermal expansion can rapidly increase pressure in the water heater and system piping. This rapid pressure increase can exceed the setting of the pressure relief valve, causing it to operate during each heating cycle, resulting in discharge from the T&P. This rapid and repeated expansion and contraction of components in the system can cause premature failure of system components, including the relief valve and possibly the water heater. Replacing the relief valve will not correct thermal expansion.

There are two recommendations to prevent this from happening:

1. Install a potable diaphragm-type hot water expansion tank to offset thermal expansion. Expansion tanks are designed with an air cushion built in that compresses as system pressure increases, thereby relieving the overpressure condition and eliminating repeated operation of the relief valve. This expansion tank should be installed in the cold water line between the water heater and check valve and must be sized for the entire water volume of the hot water system. The expansion tank must have a minimum capacity of 1.5 gallons for every 50 gallons of stored water.
2. Install a 125 PSI pressure relief valve in the cold water supply line. Make sure the discharge of this valve is directed to an open drain and protected from freezing. Contact the local water supplier or plumbing inspector for information on how to control this situation. Do not plug the temperature and pressure relief valve.

Other methods of controlling thermal expansion are available. Check with the local water utility to determine if a check valve exists in the cold water inlet line. Contact your installing contractor, water supplier, or plumbing inspector for additional information regarding thermal expansion.

Condensation
Condensation can form on the water heater when it is first filled with water, and may also occur with a heavy water draw and very cold inlet water temperature. This condition is not unusual and will disappear as the water becomes heated. However, if the condensation should continue, examine the piping and fittings for possible leaks.

NOTE
Insulating both the cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes will reduce the opportunity for condensation on the water heater piping.

Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures in this water heater, install the supplied temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production-listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22B / CSA 4.4-M99. The supplied temperature and pressure relief valve is marked with a maximum set pressure (150 psi) that does not exceed the marked maximum working pressure of the water heater (150 psi). Install the T&P valve in the opening provided and marked for this purpose on the water heater, and orient it or provide tubing so that any discharge from the valve will exit at least 6” above the structural floor. The relief line cannot be in contact with any live electrical parts. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. National Plumbing codes require a drain pan for any water heater installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of the owner and/or installer. Reference UPC 2000 (Uniform Plumbing Code) Section 510 – Protection from Damage or IPC 200 (International Plumbing Code) Section 504 – Safety Devices.

Warning
Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or relief valve line under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage, serious injury, or death may result.

To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:

• The discharge line must be connected to the relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the discharge line in a manner that will prevent the possibility of severe burns or property damage should the relief valve discharge.
• The discharge line must be as short as possible and the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length.
• The discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate at least 6” above the floor drain, making discharge visible.
• The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375oF or greater.
• Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing could occur.
• No valve may be installed between the relief valve and heater or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any obstruction in the discharge line.
• Test the operation of the relief valve after filling and pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, immediately replace it with a new properly rated relief valve.
• Test the T&P valve at least once annually to ensure the waterway is clear. If the valve does not operate, turn the heater “off” and call a plumber immediately.
• Take care whenever operating the relief valve to avoid scalding injury or property damage.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE GUIDELINES COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF RELIEF VALVE OPERATION, RESULTING IN THE POSSIBILITY OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

RE-INSPECTION OF T &P RELIEF VALVES: T&P valves must be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS, and replaced if necessary, by a licensed plumbing contractor or qualified service technician to ensure that the product has not been affected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge line has not been altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occurring conditions may corrode the valve and its components over time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions can only be detected if the valve and its components are physically removed and inspected. Do not attempt to inspect on your own. Contact your plumbing contractor for a re- inspection to assure continued safety.

FAILURE TO RE-INSPECT THE T &P VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE AND/OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

Scalding
This water heater can deliver scalding water. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may require increased water temperatures. By setting the thermostat on this heater to obtain the increased water temperature required by these appliances you may create the potential for scald injury. To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce point-of-use discharge temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from your local plumbing supplier. Table 3 details the relationship between water temperature and time concerning scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

Danger

• Water temperatures over 125°F can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds
• Children, the disabled and the elderly are at the highest risk of being scalded. See the instruction manual before setting the temperature at the water heater.
• Fee water before bathing or
• Temperature-limiting valves are available, see the manual.

Warning
An ASSE 1017 or ASSE 1070 temperature limiting or mixing valve is recommended in installations servicing disabled or elderly persons, or children. Mixing valves does not eliminate the risk of scalding.

To avoid scalding

• Set the water heater set point temperature as low as possible.
• Feel water before bathing or showering.
• If thermostatic valves are required, use devices specifically designed for such purpose. Install these devices under instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Failure to install a temperature limiting or mixing valve and follow these instructions could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death due to scalds.

Filling the Heater

• Make certain any drain valves in the system are completely closed.
• Open the shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
• Open the hot water faucets to allow air to vent from the heater and piping.
• Allow sufficient time for the heater to fill with water.
• Check for leaks.

Caution
When filling the water heater, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank and piping. The tank must be full of water before the heater is turned on. Failure to ensure the water heater is full before turning it on could result in damage to the water heater and other property damages. Such damages ARE NOT covered by the water heater warranty.

Electrical Connection

Caution
The tank must be full of water before the power is turned on. The heating element will be damaged if energized for even a short time while the tank is dry. Failures due to “dry-firing” ARE NOT covered by warranty.

The voltage requirement and dedicated wattage load for the heater are specified on the water heater rating label. Consult your local power company to determine if your electrical service is adequate for the additional load of the heater.

Starting and Testing

For models not fitted with a switch:

• Supply power to the water heater by plugging in the power cord (2.5 and 4 Models) or turning on the circuit breaker (8 Models).
• If the light does not turn on, turn the control knob in a clockwise direction.
• The light will turn on until the water temperature has reached the thermostat temperature setting. The light will come back on any time the water temperature inside the tank drops below the thermostat setting.

Thermostat Adjustment
The temperature of the hot water is adjusted by rotating the knob (M, see Figure 5) located on the front cover.

• Turn the knob clockwise to increase the temperature.
• Turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease temperature.

Maintenance

Warning
Do not attempt to repair this water heater yourself. Call a qualified service technician for assistance. Always turn off the power supply to the heater before servicing or draining the heater. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Notice
For most of these maintenance operations, the water will have to be drained from the heater. For all of these operations, the power cord should be disconnected (2.5 or 4 Models) the power turned off at the circuit breaker (8 Model), and the front cover removed.

Removing the Cover

• Pry off the round knob cover plate (Figure 6, M) with a small flat head screwdriver.
• Pry off the screw covers (Figure 6, V) with a small flat head screwdriver.
• Remove the Phillips screws.
• The cover (Figure 6, C) can now be removed by pulling out its left-hand edge. When reassembling, work oppositely, being careful to insert the tongue of the cover into the slot.

Draining the Heater
If the heater has been installed with flexible hoses:

• Shut off the power supply.

• Turn the heater upside down over a sink to drain the water out of it.
  The water heater can also be emptied by:

• Siphoning through the inlet side hose.

• Keep a hot water faucet open while siphoning.
  If the heater has been installed with rigid piping:

• Siphon the water out through any lower service valve on the inlet side.

• Keep a hot water faucet open while siphoning the water out.

Removing the Heating Element

• Shut off the power supply and drain the water heater.
• Remove the front cover plate. Disconnect terminals X, Y, and T. See Figure 7.
• Unscrew the four (4) heating element retaining nuts (Figure 7, F).
• Remove the element (Figure 7, G).

Inspecting the Anode Rod
The purpose of the anode rod (Figure 8, N) is to protect the tank against corrosion. The anode rod must be inspected once a year to determine whether it requires replacement. To access the anode rod, the heating element must be removed. See Removing the Heating Element above. Upon inspection, the anode rod surface should appear smooth. If the rod surface appears pitted, bumpy, or rusty, or if the rod is missing completely, then it must be replaced.

Original anode rod sizes:

• 2.5 and 4 Models: length 6 1/2”, diameter 5/8”
• 8 Model: length 8 1/4”, diameter 5/8”

Certain installations may require more frequent replacement of the anode rod:

• Recirculation applications;
• Poor water quality;
• Galvanic / Electrolytic corrosion;
• High flow applications

Rusty water is usually an indication that the anode rod requires replacement. If rusty water is present, examine the anode rod immediately and replace as needed. In the event of poor water quality, consult a local water treatment professional for water treatment options. Always ensure the water heater is grounded. Damage resulting from poor water quality or failure to replace the anode rod is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. For additional questions, please contact Technical Support.

To change the anode rod

1. Turn off the power supply and drain the heater (see Draining the Heater).
2. Remove the heating element (see previous section).
3. Unscrew the anode rod from a threaded connection.
4. Remove and replace the anode rod (Figure 8, N).
5. Reinstall the heating element.
6. Refill the tank with water and purge air before restoring power.

Descaling the Heating Element
Scale deposits can affect the heating capability of the element. Heavy scale can even cause damage to the element. The element can be descaled either chemically or manually.

• Soak the element in white vinegar or other food-grade descaling solution approved for use in potable water systems.
• Once descaled, rinse well with a fresh water/baking soda solution.

The element can also be descaled manually:

• After the element has dried, use a soft brush (non-metallic to prevent damaging th stainless steel sheath) on the element.
• Brush the dried minerals off.

Replace the anode rod if it is noticeably deteriorated or considerably smaller than described in Inspecting the Anode Rod. Reinstall the element after descaling. Ensure the element gasket is installed and that the element is rewired correctly.

Caution
Ensure the tank has been refilled with water before restoring power to the water heater. Failures due to “dry-firing” ARE NOT covered by warranty.

Troubleshooting

Problem| Solution

Water Does Not Get Hot

| Ensure the power supply is on and working
If light does not come on, check that the high limit reset button is pushed in. Follow steps to reset the switch, thismanual.
If the indicator light works properly but temperature does not get hot at the tap, test for a plumbing crossover. Shut off the cold supply to the heater and open the hot water tap. There should be no water flowing. Any continued flow indicates a crossover which will affect the temperature and need to be corrected.
Call a qualified service technician to test the resistance of the heating element (8-10 ohms). Heating element should be replaced if readings are outside these values.
Light Not On| If the light does not come on, but the water gets hot, check for faulty bulb.
Check that the high limit reset button is pushed in. Follow steps, this manual.
Brown Water| Brown or rusty water indicates a “spent” anode rod and possible deterioration of the tank body. Check anode rod. See instructions, this manual. Inspect the tank for leaks.
Water Odor| Smelly water could be due to an unusual reaction between local water and the heater’s anode rod. Check anode rod. See instructions, this manual. Failure to do so may result in damage to the tank and leaks.

Leaks

| Check water fittings and T&P fitting on top of tank. Remove front cover and inspect heating element gasket.
If tank is leaking, review warranty to see if heater is still within warranty period.

Warning
The risk of scald injury increases as you increase water temperature. A lower setting is more economical and reduces the risk of scalding. Use a water tempering or mixing valve and extreme caution when using hot water to avoid scald injury. Consult codes for conformance. Failure to follow the instructions in this warning statement could result in serious personal injury or death from scalds. Be sure to disconnect electrical power before performing service. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock, property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Caution
If draining of the water heater is necessary, open the T&P valve or a hot water tap to prevent vacuum buildup in the tank and piping.

Resetting the High Limit Switch
Occasionally, the high-temperature limit shut-off device may trip the reset. This occurs when the water temperature exceeds 190oF. The shut-off device may also trigger due to a power outage or electrical storm.

To reach the thermostat

• Disconnect the power cord (or shut off the circuit breaker – 8 Model) and remove the front cover.
• Firmly press the reset button with the tip of a ballpoint pen or similar object. See Figure 9, B.

A click indicates the reset was tripped.

• Reconnect the power.
• Check the operation of the thermostat. See the following section.

Caution
Call a technician if the high limit needs to be reset frequently.

Checking Thermostat Operation
To check thermostat operation:

• Turn the temperature dial from high to low. If the red light does not turn off on the low setting, turn off the power supply and call a qualified service technician to replace the thermostat.
• If the red light does go off, the thermostat is working properly.
• Turn the dial to the desired setting. NOTE: A lower setting is more economical and reduces the risk of scalding.
• Replace the cover plate.

NOTE
After adjusting the water temperature at the thermostat, allow the water heater enough time to heat the water to temperature. After the water heater has stopped heating, use a thermometer to measure the water temperature at a hot water outlet in the structure.

Changing the Heating Element

• Turn off the power supply and drain the water heater (see procedure, this manual).
• Remove the heating element (see procedure, this manual).
• Install new element with gasket, making sure the gasket and element are positioned correctly. Tighten the retaining nuts and wire connections.
• Ensure the thermostat temperature sensor is inserted into the well located on the element assembly and secured with a black rubber grommet.
• Refill the tank with water before restoring power.

Changing the Thermostat

• Turn off the power supply.
• Disconnect the two (2) wire connectors on the thermostat.
• Loosen the two (2) brass screws on the right side of the thermostat and pull the wires out.
• Unscrew and remove the two (2) Phillips screws holding the thermostat onto the tank.
• Install the new thermostat and re-attach the wiring and screws.
• Ensure the thermostat temperature sensor is inserted into the well located on the element assembly and secured with a black rubber grommet.
