INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR WATER BOILERS

Water boilers are shipped with the thermostats in the OFF position. Do not turn the thermostat
on before filling the water boiler with water.

NOTE: When positioning the unit, leave a minimum of 6" clearance on the right side of the

water boiler for ease of service.

WATER HOOK-UP PROCEDURE:
Use ¼” outside diameter copper tubing to connect the unit to the water supply line. The water

line must have a shut-off valve (supplied by a plumber). At the unit, connect the tubing to the
compression water inlet valve at the upper right hand side of the unit.

NOTE: Connecting the water boiler to a warm water supply will speed up heating and

recovery times.

ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP PROCEDURES:
NOTE: Always check the rating plate of the unit for proper voltage and current requirements.

1. 120V water boilers are provided with a 120V/15A grounded plug. Units must have a
separate 120V/15A outlet.

2. 208/240V water boilers are provided with a terminal block inside the control box. Field
wiring must be performed by a qualified serviceman.

1 and 3 phase hook-up:
Remove the fasteners on the cover and slide off cover. Install a suitable conduit and

connect copper wires to terminal L1 and L2 (and L3 for 3 phase unit only) and a #14
AWG ground wire to the ground lug.

PRIMING AND FILLING A UNIT:
Connect unit to power line (plug cord into line for 120V unit or turn on switch for the 208/ 240V

units). Turn on the water supply. The unit fills at the rate of 1 gallon/minute. When the water
level becomes visible in the sight gage turn the thermostat clockwise to maximum position.
The unit will now automatically fill to capacity and heat the water.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
DAILY: Wipe the outside of the unit with a damp cloth, using soap solution or a non-abrasive

compound when required.

SANITIZING THE UNIT:
With power to the unit disconnected, fill unit to capacity. Add 1 ounce of CLOROX BLEACH

(5.25%) for every gallon of water in the unit (400 PPM). Let the solution stand in the unit for 15
minutes, then drain all water from the unit slowly. If the unit is not to be used again
immediately after sanitizing — do not rinse with water. If the unit is to be used immediately
after sanitizing — rinse with water before refilling the unit for further use.
