Determine Water Heater Location
Determine Water Heater Location
CAUTION
All water heaters eventually leak. Do
not install without adequate drainage.
Hot water piping and branch circuit wiring should be as short as
possible. Insulate hot and cold water piping where heat loss and
condensation may be a problem.
Carefully choose a location for the new water heater. The
placement is a very important consideration for the safety of the
occupants in the building and for the most economical use of
the appliance.
Heater construction permits installation, maintenance, and
service work to be performed through the element box door and
control box door.
Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water
heater in a new location, the following critical points must be
observed. The water heater must be located:
Suggested clearances from adjacent surfaces are 12 inches on
top, 30 inches in front of access doors, 24 inches for cleanout/
handhole/manway side, and 6 inches on the inlet water piping
side.
1.
On a level surface. Shim the channel-type skid base as
necessary if leveling is required.
2.
Near a floor drain. The heater should be located in an area
where leakage of the tank or connections will not result in
damage to the area adjacent to the heater or to lower floors
of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a
suitable drain pan should be installed under the heater. The
pan should be at least 2 inches deep, have a minimum length
and width of at least 2 inches greater than the dimensions of
the water heater, and should be piped to an adequate drain.
The discharge opening of the relief valve should always be
piped to an open drain.
3.
Close to the point of major hot water usage and the power
supply.
10
The heater may be installed on or against combustible surfaces.
The back may be placed flush against adjacent surfaces. Be sure
to place the cover plates over the rear crating couplings before
locating vertical model heaters that were shipped laying down.
The heater may be installed in a confined space if adequate
ventilation is provided.
The temperature of the space in which the water heater is
installed must not go below 320F or above 1220F.

Installation & Operation Manual
3
Installation
The installation must conform to these instructions and local
code authority having jurisdiction. Grounding and electrical
wiring connected to the water heater must also conform to the
National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. This publication is available
from The National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch
Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
CAUTION
Do NOT test electrical system before
heater is filled with water. Follow the
Start-up procedure in the Operation
section of this manual.
The principle components of the heater are identified in the
Features and Components illustration on pages 6 and 7.
 DANGER
Water temperature over 1250F (520C)
can cause severe burns instantly resulting
in severe injury or death. Children, the
elderly, and the physically or mentally
disabled are at highest risk for scald
injury. Feel water before bathing or
showering. Temperature limiting devices,
such as mixing valves, must be installed
when required by code and to ensure safe
temperatures at fixtures.
Mixing Valve Usage
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to
a temperature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing,
cleaning, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently
injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be
permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the
elderly, children, the infirm, or the physically or developmentally
disabled. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one
of these groups, or if there is a local code or state law requiring a
maximum water temperature at the hot water tap, then you must
take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible
temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means
such as a mixing valve, should be used at the hot water taps or at
the water heater.
Mixing valves for reducing point-of-use temperature are
available. Consult a qualified installer or service agency. Follow
all manufacturer’s instructions for installation of mixing valves.
Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the
Temperature Regulation section in this manual.
 WARNING
Toxic chemical hazard: Do not connect
to non-potable water system.
Chemical Vapor Corrosion
This water heater shall not be connected to any heating
system(s) or component(s) used with a non-potable water
heating appliance. Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler
treatment, shall not be introduced into this system. Water heater
corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating and
breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Spray can propellants,
cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants,
swimming pool chemicals, water softener chemicals, calcium
and sodium chloride, waxes, and process chemicals are typical
12
compounds which are potentially corrosive. These materials
are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no
odor to reveal their presence. Products of this sort should not
be stored near the heater. Also, air which is brought in contact
with the water heater should not contain any of these chemicals.
If necessary, uncontaminated air should be obtained from
remote or outside sources.
Circulating Pump
Field-installed circulating pumps should be of all bronze
constructions. To optimize the total storage capacity of a
horizontal vessel, particularly under low draw conditions, it is
recommended to utilize a pump and recirculation line sized to
turn the entire storage capacity of the tank once each hour (i.e., a
600 gallon tank would require a 10 gpm pump).
Insulation Blankets
Insulation blankets are available to the general public for
external use on electric water heaters, but are not necessary with
this product. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce
the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank heaters.
Your water heater meets or exceeds the EPACT and ASHRAE/
IES 90.1 standards with respect to insulation and standby loss
requirements, making an insulation blanket unnecessary.
Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater,
you should follow the instructions below. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire, serious personal injury, or death.
•
Do NOT cover the temperature and pressure relief (T & P)
valve with an insulation blanket.
•
Do NOT cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side
of the water heater or nearby for future reference.
•
DO obtain new warning and instruction labels for placement
on the blanket directly over the existing labels.
Temperature - Pressure Relief Valve
 WARNING
The temperature and pressure relief
valve must comply with ANSI Z21.22
and ASME code. A properly sized
temperature and pressure relief valve
must be installed in the opening
provided. Failure to install a relief
valve can result in overheating and
excessive tank pressure. Failure to
follow these instructions can cause
serious injury or death.
This water heater is provided with a properly rated/sized and
certified combination temperature-pressure relief valve by the
manufacturer. The valve is certified by a nationally recognized
testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of
production of listed equipment of materials as meeting the
requirements for Relief Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems,
ANSI Z21.22 • CSA 4.4, and the code requirements of ASME.
Installation & Operation Manual
3
Installation
(continued)
If replaced, the new valve must meet the requirements of local
codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure
relief valve rated/sized and certified as indicated in the above
paragraph. The new valve must be marked with a maximum set
pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure
of the water heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity
not less than the water heater Btu/hr or KW input rate as shown
on the water heater’s model rating plate.
For safe operation of the water heater, the temperature and
pressure relief valve must not be removed from its designated
opening nor plugged. The temperature-pressure relief valve
must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater
designed for the relief valve. Install discharge piping so that
any discharge will exit only within 6 inches (15.2 cm) above, or
external to the structure. Do not pipe the discharge to a crawl
space. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical
part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced
in size under any circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet
(9.14 m), or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction
and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve.
No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief
valve and the tank. Do NOT connect discharge piping directly
to the drain unless a 6" (15.2 cm) air gap is provided. To prevent
bodily injury, hazard to life, or property damage, the relief valve
must be allowed to discharge water in adequate quantities,
should circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not
connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may
cause property damage.
The discharge pipe:
•
Shall NOT be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the
valve or have any reducing couplings or other restrictions.
•
Shall NOT be plugged or blocked.
•
Shall NOT be exposed to freezing temperatures.
•
Shall be of material listed for hot water distribution.
•
Shall be installed in such a way that allows complete
drainage of both the temperature-pressure relief valve and
the discharge pipe.
•
Must terminate a maximum of six inches above a floor
drain or external to the building. In cold climates, it is
recommended that the discharge pipe be terminated at an
adequate drain inside the building.
•
Shall NOT have any valve or other obstruction between the
relief valve and the drain.
CAUTION
The temperature-pressure relief valve
discharge pipe must terminate at adequate
drain.
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated
at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that
no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperaturepressure relief valve discharge line, and that the water manually
discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage
because the water may be extremely hot. If after manually
operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues
to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to the
water heater, follow the draining instructions in this manual,
and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a properly
rated/sized new one.
If you do not understand these instructions or have any
questions regarding the temperature-pressure relief valve, call
the telephone number listed on the back cover of this manual for
technical assistance.
Water temperature over 1250F (520C)
 DANGER can cause severe burns instantly resulting
in severe injury or death. Children, the
elderly, and the physically or mentally
disabled are at highest risk for scald
injury. Feel water before bathing or
showering. Temperature limiting devices,
such as mixing valves, must be installed
when required by code and to ensure safe
temperatures at fixtures. Read instruction
manual for safe temperature setting.
Closed Water Systems
Water supply systems may, because of code requirements or such
conditions as high line pressure, among others, have installed
devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, and back
flow preventers. Devices such as these cause the water system to
be a closed system.
Thermal Expansion
As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed
system, the volume of water will grow when it is heated. As the
volume of water grows, there will be a corresponding increase in
water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion
can cause premature tank failure (leakage). This type of failure
is not covered under the limited warranty. Thermal expansion
can also cause intermittent temperature-pressure relief valve
operation, water discharged from the valve due to excessive
pressure build-up. This condition is not covered under the
limited warranty. The temperature-pressure relief valve is not
intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion.
A properly sized thermal expansion tank must be installed
on all closed systems to control the harmful effects of thermal
expansion. Contact a local plumbing service agency to have a
thermal expansion tank installed.

Electrical
General
Power Circuit
Check the water heater model and rating plate information
against the characteristics of the branch circuit electrical supply.
Do NOT connect the heater to an improper source of electricity.
Power circuit wiring is type THHN (or equivalent) rated 600
volts, 105°C, sized as necessary.
Voltage applied to the heater should not vary more than +5%
to -10% of the model and rating plate marking for satisfactory
operation.
The factory wiring is attached to a terminal block on the unit.
The branch circuit is connected to the block through an opening
provided on the heater. The factory terminal block has 500
MCM maximum copper wire size capacity in each opening.
If apparent field wire size is over 500 MCM, multiple terminal
blocks will be furnished. If other opening sizes are desired, they
should be specified when the unit is ordered.
The installation must conform with these instructions and the
local code authority having jurisdiction and the requirements of
the power company. In the absence of local codes, the installation
must comply with the current editions of the National Electrical
Code, NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.
Branch Circuit
The branch circuit wire size should be established through
reference to the NEC (National Electrical Code) or other locally
approved sources in conjunction with the water heater amperage
rating. Wire rated at 75°C should be used. Please see Table 4-1
for additional information. It is suggested that the electrician
size the branch circuit at 125% of the heater rating and further
increase wire size as necessary to compensate for voltage drop
in long runs. Voltage drop should not exceed 3% at the water
heater.
Heater Circuits
The water heater’s electrical components are pictured and
identified by the Features and Components illustrations on pages
6 and 7. The model and rating plate illustration identifies the
heater electrical characteristics. The heater has two electrical
circuits.
• Control Circuit: 120V circuit containing all safety and
control devices. The control circuit operates the contactors
in the power circuit.
• Power Circuit: High voltage, single or three-phase circuit
that carries the heating element load.
The following section and pages describe the water heater
circuits. See pages 38 - 39 for the wiring diagram.
14
The wiring diagrams at the end of this manual are included
to show typical arrangements of electrical components in the
control and power circuits by voltage and phase characteristics.
They are to be used as a reference by the installer or servicer in
performing their work. An actual diagram of the water heater
wiring is furnished with the heater.

Operation
General
Initial Start-up
Refer to the Features and Components section of this manual for
the location of components mentioned in the instructions that
follow.
The following checks should be made by the installer when the
water heater is placed into operation for the first time:
NEVER operate the heating elements without being certain the
water heater is filled with water and a temperature and pressure
relief valve is installed in the relief valve opening on top of the
heater.
A low water cutoff is provided on all heaters as standard
equipment. The water probe is installed near the top of the tank
to monitor the presence of water. The control circuit is opened if
the water level is below this point.
The pilot switch (power on/off toggle switch) on the cabinet
front permits the heater to be turned on and off without having
to operate the electrical disconnect switch.
 DANGER
Full power is present whenever the cabinet
door is opened, even with the pilot switch
turned off.
Optional manual override switches on the cabinet front allow
elements to be manually de-energized if full capacity is not
needed.
Filling the Water Heater
CAUTION
In order to avoid heating element damage,
fill the tank with water before operating.
To fill the water heater with water:
1.
Turn OFF the electrical disconnect switch.
2.
Turn OFF the ON/OFF switch.
3.
Close the heater drain valve.
4.
Open a nearby hot water faucet to allow the air in the system
to escape.
5.
Fully open the cold water inlet valve, filling the heater and
piping.
6.
Close the hot water faucet when the water starts to flow from
the faucet. Leave the cold water inlet valve fully open. The
heater is now ready for start-up and temperature regulation.
7.
Close the cabinet door and perform the start-up checks
listed below before turning on the electricity.
1.
Check all factory and field-made water and electrical
connections for tightness. Also check connections on top
of the heater. Repair water leaks and tighten electrical
connections as necessary.
2.
Turn on the electrical disconnect switch and pilot toggle
switch. The pilot toggle switch is located on the cabinet.
3.
Observe the operation of the electrical components during
the first heating cycle. Exercise care as the electrical circuits
are energized.
Temperature control and contactor operation should be checked
by allowing the heater to come up to temperature and shut
off automatically. Exercise care as the electrical circuits are
energized.
Draining the Water Heater
The water heater must be drained if it is to be shut down and/
or exposed to freezing temperatures. Maintenance and service
procedures may also require draining the heater.
1.
Turn OFF the electrical disconnect switch.
2.
Turn OFF the ON/OFF switch.
3.
Close the cold water inlet valve to heater.
4.
Open a nearby hot water faucet to vent the system.
5.
Open the drain valve.
6.
If the the heater is being drained for an extended shutdown,
it is suggested that the drain valve be left open during this
period.
Follow Filling the water heater instructions when restoring hot
water service. See the list above.
 DANGER
Burn hazard. Keep clear of drain valve
discharge outlet.

Temperature Regulation
High Temperature Limit Controls
(ECO)
If a dry bulb style high limit is used in place of a surface mount
in the limit, it should not be set above 190°F/88°C.
When the high limit switch contacts open, the electronic control
system locks out and displays a fault message. Voltage to the
contactor coils and heating elements is terminated to prevent
further heating operation. Once the water temperature has
cooled below this point, press the manual reset button. Then the
power supply to the water heater must be turned off and then
back on to reset the control system.
 DANGER
Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can
cause severe burns instantly resulting in
severe injury or death. Children, the elderly,
and the physically or mentally disabled are
at highest risk for scald injury. Feel water
before bathing or showering. Temperature
limiting devices such as mixing valves must
be installed when required by codes and to
ensure safe temperatures at fixtures. Read
the instruction manual for safe temperature
setting.
Thermostat Controls
The water heaters covered in this instruction manual are
equipped with adjustable thermostat controls to control water
temperature. Hot water temperatures required for automatic
dishwasher and laundry use can cause scald burns resulting
in serious personal injury and/or death. The temperature at
which injury occurs varies with the person’s age and duration
of exposure. The slower response time of children, the elderly,
or disabled persons increases the hazards to them. Never allow
small children to use a hot water tap or draw their own bath water.
Never leave a child or disabled person unattended in a bathtub
or shower. The water heater should be located in an area where
the general public does not have access to set temperatures.
Temperature Adjustment
 DANGER
Full power is present whenever the cabinet
door is opened, even with the ON/OFF
switch turned off.
The water heaters covered in this instruction manual are equipped
with an electronic control system. The control system senses
temperature from a factory-installed immersion temperature
probe. See the Features and Components illustrations at the
beginning of this manual for location. The Operating Set Point
is adjusted to control water temperature. This is an adjustable
user setting in the control system’s Temperature Menu. This and
all control system menus are accessed through the UIM (User
Interface Module) located on the front panel of the water heater.
(FIG. 6-1).
The operating set point is adjustable from 90°F/42°C to
190°F/88°C. The factory setting is 120°F/49°C. See the Control
System Operation section of this manual for instructions on how
to adjust the Operating Set Point and other user settings.
Set the Operating Set Point at the lowest setting which produces
an acceptable hot water supply. This will always give the most
energy efficient operation.
Figure 6-1_UIM (User Interface Module)
Setting the water heater temperatures at 120°F will reduce the
risk of scalds. Some states require settings at specific lower
temperatures.

Control System Operation
Heating Banks Operation
Progressive Sequencing: Banks are energized and de-energized
according to adjustable (1 to 20°F) differential set points for each
bank. The first bank on is rotated with each successive call for
heat (bank rotation). The first heating bank energized at the
beginning of a heating cycle is the first bank de-energized at the
end of the heating cycle (First on/first off ). Successive heating
cycles would progress as follows on a model equipped with three
(3) heating bank:
•
First heating cycle: Banks come on [1, 2, 3] and cycle off
[1, 2, 3]
•
Second heating cycle: Banks come on [2, 3, 1] and cycle off
[2, 3, 1]
•
Third heating cycle: Banks come on [3, 1, 2] and cycle off
[3, 1, 2]
•
Fourth heating cycle: Pattern repeats - same as first heating
cycle

Control System Operation
Temperatures Menu
Tank Temperature
Operating Set Point
Non-adjustable information display. Current water temperature
as sensed by the control system from the immersion temperature
probe.
User adjustable setting 90°F to 190°F range; factory default is
120°F. When the water temperature sensed by the control system
from the immersion temperature probe reaches the operating set
point the control system will end the heating cycle. A call for
heat will be activated again when the water temperature drops
below the operating set point minus the first differential setting.
Example: Operating set point is 120°F, the first differential
setting is 2°F (factory default). A call for heat will be activated
when the sensed water temperature drops to 118°F.
Tank Probe Offset
User adjustable setting -5°F to +5°F range; factory default is 0°F.
If the current tank temperature is sensed from the immersion
temperature probe at 120°F and the offset is adjusted to -5°F, the
control system would calibrate, or offset, the tank temperature
to 115°F. Heating cycles would then start and stop based on the
calibrated tank temperature.
Used to calibrate for slight differences in control system
temperature sensing. This can improve the precision of
temperature control in the storage tank and at points of use. This
feature can also be used to compensate for building recirculation
loops (hot water returning to the storage tank) that may cause
the heating cycle to terminate prematurely.

Differential Settings
Adjustable user setting(s) 1°F to 20°F range; factory default is 2°F.
The water heaters covered in this manual will have between one

Maintenance
General
 DANGER
Burn hazard. Keep clear of drain valve
discharge outlet.
Periodically, the drain valve should be opened and the water
allowed to run until it flows clean. This will help to prevent
sediment buildup in the tank bottom.
Periodically check the temperature and pressure relief valve to
ensure that it is in operating condition. Lift the lever at the top of
the valve several times until the valve seats properly and operates
freely.
The following are typical, but not all, signs of a depleted anode
rod:
•
The majority of the rods diameter is less than 3/8".
•
Significant sections of the support wire (approximately 1/3
or more of the anode rod’s length) are visible.
If the anode rod shows signs of either or both, it should be
replaced. NOTE: Whether re-installing or replacing the anode
rod, check for any leaks and immediately correct if found.
To replace the anode:
1.
Turn OFF electric supply to the water heater.
Water heater maintenance includes periodic tank flushing and
cleaning and removal of lime scale from the heating element.
2.
Shut OFF the water supply and open a nearby hot water
faucet to depressurize the water tank.
The heater tank is equipped with an anode rod to aid in corrosion
control and should be inspected periodically (see Anode Rod
Inspection).
3.
Drain the tank. Refer to Draining and Flushing for proper
procedures. Close the drain valve.
4.
Remove the old anode rod.
5.
Use Teflon® tape or approved pipe sealant on threads, and
install a new anode rod.
6.
Turn ON water supply and open a nearby hot water faucet
to purge air from the water system. Check for any leaks and
immediately correct any if found.
7.
Restart the water heater as directed in this manual. See
the Features and Components illustrations for anode rod
location.
Anode Rod Inspection
CAUTION
All water heaters eventually leak. Do
not install without adequate drainage.
Each water heater contains at least one (1) anode rod, which
will slowly deplete, due to electrolysis, prolonging the life of the
water heater by protecting the glass-lined tank from corrosion.
Adverse water quality, hotter water temperatures, high hot water
usage, hydronic heating devices, and water softening methods
can increase the rate of anode rod depletion. Once the anode rod
is depleted, the tank will start to corrode, eventually developing
a leak.
Artificially softened water is exceedingly corrosive because the
process substitutes sodium ions for magnesium and calcium
ions.
The use of a water softener may decrease the life of the water
heater tank.
The anode rod should be inspected after a maximum of three (3)
years and annually thereafter until the condition of the anode
rod dictates its replacement.
NOTE: Artificially softened water requires the anode rod to be
inspected annually.
Flushing the Water Heater
1.
Turn OFF the electrical supply to the water heater at the
breaker or disconnect switch.
2.
Ensure the cold water inlet valve is open.
3.
Open a nearby hot water faucet and let the water run until
the water is no longer hot, then close the hot water faucet.
4.
Connect a hose to the water heater drain valve and terminate
it to an adequate drain.
5.
Ensure that the drain hose is secured before and during
the entire flushing procedure. Flushing is performed with
system water pressure applied to the water heater.
6.
Open the water heater drain valve to flush the storage tank.
7.
Flush the water heater storage tank to remove sediment and
allow the water to flow until it runs clean.
8.
Close the water heater drain valve when flushing is
completed.
9.
Remove the drain hose.
10. Fill the water heater (see the Filling the Water Heater section
in this manual).
11. Turn ON the electrical supply to the water heater.
12. Place the water heater back in operation. Allow the water
heater to complete several heating cycles to ensure it is
operating properly.

Maintenance
Sediment Removal
Other Scale Removal:
1.
Flush cleaned ends of banks with water when deliming or
cleaning is completed.
2.
Remove sediment and scale from the tank bottom through
the access provided by the bank openings or drain valve
opening. The cold water inlet valve and drain valve may be
opened to aid the clean-out process.
3.
Clean remaining gasket material from the tank and bank
flanges. Do NOT reuse original bank gaskets.
Lime scale accumulations on the heating banks is a normal
condition, common to all immersion-type banks. Factors which
affect the amounts of this formation are:
4.
Put new gaskets on each bank and install into tank openings.
Uniformly tighten bank bolts. Torque to approximately 32
ft./lbs.
1.
The amount of hot water used. As the volume of water
heated increases, more scale results.
5.
Attach bank wires to the connection points from which they
were removed.
2.
Water temperature. As the temperature of the water is
increased, more scale is deposited on the banks.
6.
3.
Characteristics of water supply.
Follow Filling instructions to restore hot water service.
Check for water leaks around the banks, and check for
proper operation when the heater is filled. Close the front
panel.
Water borne impurities consist of fine particles of soil and sand,
which settle out and form a layer of sediment on the bottom of
the tank. In time, if not removed, the level of sediment might
reach the heating banks and cause their failure.
For convenience, sediment removal and bank lime scale removal
should be performed at the same time as follows in this chapter.
Lime Scale Removal
Regardless of water treatment, it is recommended that the banks
be inspected periodically. This can be completed by viewing the
element through the cleanout, optional 4"x 6" handhole, 12"x 16"
manway, ore removing the element.
Lime scale accumulations may cause noises to occur during
operation.
It is recommended that a heating bank be removed periodically
for examination. If it is scaled, all of the banks should be
removed and cleaned. If the tank bottom has an accumulation
of sediment, it should be removed.
Lime scale should be removed by dissolving the accumulation
in delimer. Do NOT use muriatic or hydrochloric acid based
deliming solutions to remove lime scale from the banks.
The process for lime scale removal is as follows:
1.
Turn OFF electrical disconnect switch.
2.
Drain the heater following Draining instructions.
3.
Open front panel.
4.
Disconnect the bank wiring. Try not to disturb the wiring
unnecessarily and reconnection will be easier.
5.
Unscrew each bank.
6.
Remove the banks and gaskets from the openings. Use a
twisting, pulling action to remove banks scaled beyond the
size of the tank openings. Brush loose scale from the banks.
7.
Remove lime scale by placing the limed ends of the heating
banks into delimer and allow scale to dissolve. Do NOT
permit delimer or water to contact the heating bank
electrical terminals. Silicates, sulfates, and aluminates must
be removed by scraping or other mechanical means. Lime
scale dissolvents will not remove these types of scale which
are occasionally encountered.

Troubleshooting
Checklist
Water Heater Makes Strange Sounds
Before calling for service, check the following points to see if the
cause of trouble can be identified and corrected. Reviewing this
checklist may eliminate the need of a service call and quickly
restore hot water service.
 WARNING
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.
Not Enough or No Hot Water
1.
Be certain the electrical disconnect switch serving the water
heater is in the ON position. The pilot toggle switch on the
cabinet should be ON.
In some areas, water heater electrical service may be limited
by the power company. If the heater operates on a controlled
circuit, heater recovery may be affected.
The optional manual override switches on the cabinet front
may be turned off, de-energizing the elements.
2.
Check the fuses. The electrical disconnect switch usually
contains fuses. The water heater has fuses located behind
the cabinet front door (see the Features and Components
section of this manual for their location).
1.
Sediment or lime scale accumulations on the elements causes
sizzling and hissing noises when the heater is operating. The
sounds are normal, however, the tank bottom and elements
should be cleaned. Refer to the Maintenance section of this
manual for details.
2.
Some of the electrical components of the water heater make
sounds which are normal (i.e., contactors will “click” or snap
as the heater starts and stops).
Leakage Checkpoints
1.
Check to see if the drain valve is tightly closed.
2.
The apparent leakage may be condensation which forms on
cool surfaces of the heater and piping.
3.
If the outlet of the relief valve is leaking it may represent
excessive water pressure, excessive water temperature, or a
faulty temperature and pressure relief valve.
Excessive water pressure is the most common cause of relief
valve leakage. Water supply systems may, because of code
requirements or such conditions as high line pressure, among
others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves,
check valves, and back flow preventers. Devices such as these
cause the water system to be a closed system.
3.
If the water was excessively hot, and is now cold, the ECO
high limit switch may have activated. See the Temperature
Regulation section of this manual for more information on
how to reset the ECO high limit controls. Repeated activation
of the ECO high limit switch should be investigated by a
qualified service agent.
As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed
system the volume of water will grow when it is heated. As the
volume of water grows, there will be a corresponding increase in
water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion
can cause intermittent temperature-pressure relief valve
operation, or water discharged from the valve due to excessive
pressure build-up. This condition is not covered under the
limited warranty. The temperature-pressure relief valve is not
intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion.
4.
The storage capacity and/or recovery rate of the water heater
may have been exceeded by a large demand for hot water.
Large demands require a recovery period to restore water
temperature.
A properly sized thermal expansion tank should be installed
on all closed systems to control the harmful effects of thermal
expansion. Contact a local qualified service agency to have a
thermal expansion tank installed.
5.
Cold incoming water temperature will lengthen the time
required to heat water to the desired temperature. If the
heater was installed when incoming water temperature was
warm, colder water creates the effect of less hot water.
4.
6.
Sediment or lime scale may be affecting water heater
operation.
If You Cannot Identify or Correct the Source of
Malfunction:
Water is Too Hot
Refer to the Temperature Regulation section of this manual.
Examine the flange area of the elements for gasket leakage.
Tighten the bolts or, if necessary, follow the Water and Lime
Scale Removal procedure in the Maintenance section of this
manual to replace the gaskets.
1.
Place the water heater electrical disconnect switch in the
OFF position.
2.
Close the cold water inlet valve to the heater.
3.
Contact a Qualified Service Agency in your area.
Replacement Parts
Call the telephone number listed on this manual for assistance
in locating replacement parts. When ordering parts, specify
complete model number, serial number (see rating plate),
quantity, and name of part desired. Standard hardware items
