Appliance details
Temperature limiting controls (TCOs)
The water heater is equipped with two temperature-limiting controls (TCOs) that are located above the upper
heating heating element in contact with the tank surface. If for any reason the water temperature becomes
excessively high, the temperature-limiting control (TCO)
breaks the power circuit to the heating element. Once
the control opens, it must be reset manually. Resetting
of the temperature limiting controls should be done by
a qualified service technician.
Defrosting
Under the heating mode, the unit will shut down the
heat pump automatically if an unusually low temperature
is detected at the evaporator. This cycle can last
between 2 and 10 minutes and ensures maximum heating efficiency.
The fan motor will stop running when the unit is defrosting.
Working conditions
In order to use the unit correctly, please run the unit at
ambient temperature 45°F - 115°F.
The unit includes sophisticated electronic devices, care
should be taken to feed the unit only with potable water.
Do not use untreated water from lakes, rivers or
untreated groundwater!
Overheating protection
When the water temperature reaches 165°F power to
the unit will be cut off (see section 4.7 for instructions
on resetting the temperature limiter).
Water temperature or pressure protection
The unit is equipped with a T&P valve for your safety. If
the tank pressure reaches 150PSI or the temperature
reaches 210°F, the T&P valve will open automatically to
relieve the pressure and or reduce the temperature to
safe limits.
Caution: The cause of high
temperature conditions must be
investigated by a qualified service
technician and corrective action must
be taken before placing the water heater
in service again.

System theory
An Electric Heat Pump Water Heater draws heat from
the ambient air and transfers that heat to the water in
the tank. Ambient air inside the room where the water
heater is installed is blown across an evaporator by a
fan. Cold refrigerant inside an expansion valve is heated
from this ambient air. This warmed refrigerant is then
sent through a compressor where it becomes extremely
hot. The hot refrigerant then passes through a
condenser coil that is wrapped around the outside of
the tank. The heat from the hot refrigerant is transferred
to the stored water inside the tank. After transferring it's
heat, the now warm refrigerant is pushed through an
expansion valve where it is cooled and depressurized so
the process can begin again. In addition, the ambient air
is cooled and dehumidified as it passes through the
evaporator and can be used to adjust the climate of the
room.
Built in controls offer a variety of operational modes to
suit every user’s needs. When operating with the heat
pump only (Economic Mode), the water is heated using
only the ambient air. Economic mode does not activate
the electric element inside. This mode may take longer
to heat the water to set temperature but uses less than
1/2 the electricity of a similar size electric tank.
The Auto mode use the electric element to supplement
the heat pump in the event that the water is not reaching
set temperature.
Electric mode allows for the water heater to function as
a standard electric tank without the use of the heat
pump.

Installation instructions
3 Installation instructions
The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any
damage or defect caused by improper installation,
attachment or use of any type of energy-saving or other
unapproved devices (other than those authorized by the
manufacturer) into, onto or in conjunction with the water
heater.
The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for such
loss or injury resulting from the use of such
unauthorized devices.
3.1 Tools required
• Wrench ¾"
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat screwdriver
• Wire strippers
• Level
• Measuring tape
• Standard plumbing tools.
3.2 Location requirements
Locate the water heater in a clean, dry area as near as
practical to the area of greatest hot water demand.
Long uninsulated hot water lines can waste energy and
water.
Note: Because this unit draws in air from the room to
heat the water, the room must be at least 10' x 10' x 7'
(700 cubic feet) or larger. If the room is smaller, there
must be louvers installed to allow for adequate airflow.
Place the water heater in such a manner that the air filter, cover and front panels can be removed to permit
inspection and servicing, such as removal of elements,
draining the tank, or cleaning of the filter.
The water heater and water lines should be protected
from freezing temperatures and highly corrosive atmospheres. Do not install the water heater in outdoor or
unheated, unprotected areas.
Fig. 5
NOTE: Auxiliary catch pan MUST conform to local
codes. Catch Pan Kits are available from the store
where the water heater was purchased, a building supply store or any water heater distributor.
Local installation regulations
This water heater must be installed in accordance with
these instructions, local codes, plumbing codes (UPC
or IPC), utility codes, utility company requirements or, in
the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code. It is available from some local
libraries or can be purchased from the National Fire Prevention Association, Batterymarch park, Quincy, MA
02169 as booklet ANSI/NFPA 70.
Required clearances
It is recommended that there is 5-½” of clearance (air
space) between any object and the front and rear
shrouds.
Warning: To avoid the potential for
ignition and fire, the water heater should
not be installed in a space where liquids
which give off flammable vapors are to
be used or stored.
Caution: The water heater should not
be located in an area where leakage of
the tank or connection will result in
damage. In installations where risk of
water damage cannot be avoided, a
suitable catch pan, adequately drained,
must be installed under the water
heater.
Warning: This water heater SHOULD
NOT be installed in a space where
liquids which give off flammable vapors
are to be used or stored. Such liquids
include gasoline, LP gas (butane and
propane), paint or adhesives and their
thinners, solvents or removers.
Because of natural air movement in a
room or other enclosed space,
flammable vapors can be carried from
where their liquids are being used or
stored. Any arc within the water
heater's electronic controls can ignite
these vapors causing an explosion or
fire which may result in severe burns or
death to those in range, as well as
property damage.

Fig. 6
A 27” minimum vertical clearance is required to remove
the filter for cleaning and to replace the anode rod. The
hot and cold water plumbing and electrical connections
must not interfere with the removal of the filter.
Fig. 7
Condensation drain
The unit has a condensate drain, therefore a drain must
be available in close proximity to the unit. The drain must
be no higher than 36” above the floor (laundry drain is
acceptable).
If no drain is available, then a common condensate
pump with a capacity no less than 1 gallon/day must be
purchased from a local builder and supply store and
installed.
3.3 Venting (specifications and vent
runs)
Venting the outlet air of the water heater to another
room may be an option for specific applications. See
Section 3.6.
• Duct diameter: 8”
• Maximum outlet duct length: 16.5 feet
• Maximum Air flow: 219 CFM
• Maximum no. of elbows: 1.
The vent collar accessory (see Fig. 2) must be installed
in order to accommodate the required 8" diameter vent
pipe. Line up tabs on vent collar with slots in vent
opening. Rotate to lock into place.
If terminating venting to the outdoors, pitch horizontal
pipe downward towards termination 1/4" per foot to
avoid damage from rain.
3.4 Water piping
3.4.1 Inlet - Outlet connections
Refer to the illustration below for suggested typical
installation. The installation of unions or flexible copper
connectors is recommended on the hot and cold water
connections so that the water heater may be easily disconnected for servicing if necessary. The HOT and
COLD water connections are clearly marked and are
¾”NPT on all models.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply heat to the HOT or COLD
water connections. If sweat connections are used,
sweat tubing to adapter before fitting the adapter to the
water connections on heater. Any heat applied to the
hot or cold water connection will permanently damage
the dip tube.
Fig. 8 Typical installation
3.4.2 Dielectric union (recommended accessory)
Different metals between plumbing and tank materials
and additionally the effect of hot water can cause
corrosion of one of the metals (generally the one in the
tank is the metal attacked)
The Dielectric union will avoid any physical contact
between the two metals, acting as an effective insulator
and preventing this attack. How quick this corrosion
progresses, if at all, depends on the content of your
water, its pH, the dissolved minerals and the metals
involved.

Failing to install this accessory will void the tank
warranty.
3.4.3 Condensate Drain Tubes
This unit has a condensation tray. The water collected
in the tray drains out of the drain ports coming off the
back of the unit. Two flexible hoses are included with
this unit. It is important that both of these hoses are
attached to the two drain ports coming off the back of
the unit. The upper drain serves as an overflow drain
that will operate only if the bottom drain is blocked.
Water leaking from the upper drain is an indicator that
the lower drain, and possibly the condensate pan itself,
require cleaning.
B Attach one end of the longer 6’ hose to the lower
drain port on the back of the unit, underneath the rear
cover.
B Direct the other end to a drain in the floor or no higher
than 3’ above the floor.
If such drain is unavailable, a condensate drain pump
(not provided) must be purchased and installed.
B Attach the shorter 3” hose to the top drain port.
Fig. 9
3.4.4 T&P Valve
A combination temperature and pressure-relief valve,
complying with the Standard for Relief Valves for Hot
Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, is supplied and
must remain installed in the opening provided and
marked for the purpose on the water heater. No valve of
any type should be installed between the relief valve and
the tank. Local codes shall govern the installation of
relief valves.
Connect the outlet of the relief valve to a suitable open
drain so that the discharge water cannot contact live
electrical parts or persons and to eliminate potential
water damage. Under no circumstances should the
relief valve vent be connected to the condensate drain
line.
Piping used should be of a type approved for hot water
distribution. The discharge line must be no smaller than
the outlet of the valve and must pitch downward from
the valve to allow complete drainage (by gravity) of the
relief valve and discharge line. The end of the discharge
line should not be threaded or concealed and should be
protected from freezing. No valve of any type, restriction, reducing coupling or tee should be installed in the
discharge line.
This valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure
not to exceed the marked maximum working pressure of
the water heater. It should be installed into an opening
provided and marked for this purpose in the water
heater, and vented so that any discharge from the valve
exits only within 6 inches above, or at any distance
below, the structural floor, and does not contact any live
electrical part. The discharge opening must not be
blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances.
3.4.5 Thermal expansion tank
Determine if a check valve exists in the inlet water
supply line. It may have been installed in the cold water
line as a separate backflow preventer, or it may be part
of a pressure-reducing valve, water meter or water
softener. A check valve located in the cold water inlet
line can cause what is referred to as a "closed water
system". A cold water inlet line with no check valve or
backflow prevention device is referred to as an "open"
water system.
As water is heated, it expands in volume and creates an
increase in the pressure within the water system. This
action is referred to as "thermal expansion". In an
"open" water system, expanding water which exceeds
the capacity of the water heater flows back into the city
main where the pressure is easily dissipated.
A "closed water system", however, prevents the
expanding water from flowing back into the main supply
line, and the result of "thermal expansion" can create a
rapid and dangerous pressure increase in the water
heater and system piping. This rapid pressure increase
can quickly reach the safety setting of the relief valve,
causing it to operate during each heating cycle. Thermal
expansion, and the resulting rapid and repeated
expansion and contraction of components in the water
heater and piping system, can cause premature failure
Warning: To reduce the risk of
excessive pressures and temperatures
in this water heater, install temperature
and pressure protective equipment
required by local codes and no less
than a combination temperature and
pressure relief valve certified by a
nationally recognized testing laboratory
that maintains periodic inspection of
production of listed equipment or
materials, as meeting the requirements
for Relief Valves for Hot Water Supply
Systems, ANSI Z21.22.
