11 Maintenance
instructions
WARNING: BEFORE SERVICING OR
!
CLEANING THE WATER HEATER,
DISCONNECT THE WATER HEATER FROM THE
ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
THE TEMPERATURE/PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
MUST BE MANUALLY OPERATED AT LEAST
ONCE PER YEAR. CAUTION SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT:
1. NO ONE IS NEAR THE TEMPERATURE/
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE PIPE.
2. THE WATER DISCHARGED WILL NOT CAUSE
ANY BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
THE WATER MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT.
Do not attempt to repair the water heater.
Call your licensed plumber or electrician for
service. Unplug the unit whenever the water
supply is turned off.
Before calling for service, make sure that:
1. The heater is properly fi lled
2. The electrical supply has not been
interrupted.
Approximately once per year, it is advisable to
descale the heating element and to check the
condition of the magnesium anode, replacing it
if the diameter is less than .39” (10 mm). (See
changing the anode rod).
The temperature/pressure relief valve must
be manually operated at least once per year.
Caution should be taken to ensure that:
1. No one is near the temperature/pressure
relief valve discharge pipe.
2. The water discharged will not cause any
bodily injury or property damage. The water
may be extremely hot.
If after manually operating it, the valve fails
to completely reset and continues to release
water, immediately close the cold water inlet to
the heater. Replace the temperature/pressure
valve with a new one.
Failure to install and maintain a properly
functioning and properly listed temperature/
pressure relief valve will release the
manufacturer and distributor of this water
heater from any claim which might result from
excessive temperature or pressure.
