MODEL AND RATING

LOCATING THE NEW WATER HEATER

Facts to Consider About the Location

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.

3. The discharge opening of the temperature and pressure relief valve should always be piped to an open drain.

4. Close to the point of major hot water usage and the power supply.

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 water heater.
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:

Heater construction permits installation, maintenance, and service work to be performed through the front control panel.
Suggested clearances from adjacent surfaces are 12 inches on top, 30 inches in front for access to the unit.
The heater may be installed on or against combustible surfaces. The left side and back may be placed flush against adjacent surfaces.

1. On a level surface. Shim the channel type skid base as The temperature of the space in which the water heater is installed

necessary if levelling is required.

must not go below 32°F or above 122°F.

INSTALLATION

Required Ability

Installation and service of this water heater requires ability equivalent to that of a qualified agency (page 2) in the field involved. Plumbing and electrical work is required.

General

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 code requirements, follow NFPA-70 (current edition). In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the latest editions of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1. The National Electrical Code may be ordered from: National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. The Canadian Electrical Code is available from the Canadian Standards Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131.
Note: To comply with NSF Standard 5 installation requirements the bottom of the water heater must be sealed to the floor with a silicone based sealant or elevated 6 inches above the floor.
Do NOT test electrical system before heater is filled with water, follow the START UP procedure in the OPERATION section of this manual.
The principal components of the heater are identified in the Features and Components illustration in Figure 2.

Contaminated Water
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.
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 construction.
Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve

MIXING VALVE USAGE: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, 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 physically/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 used by these people 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 these valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.

This water heater is provided with a properly rated/sized and certified combination temperature - pressure relief valve by the 11 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.
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.

8

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 at any distance below the structural floor. 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.

number listed on the back cover of this manual for technical assistance.

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.

Once the water heater is installed and filled with water, check the operation of the temperature-pressure relief valve. Follow the instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.

Water Line Connections

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 be of material listed for hot water distribution. · Shall be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the
temperature-pressure relief valve and the discharge pipe. · Shall 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.
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) 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 toll free

This manual provides detailed piping installation diagrams (see back section of this manual) for typical methods of application. For the heater inlet and outlet connections, di-electric unions are recommended. The water heater may be installed by itself, or with a separate storage tank, on both single and two-temperature systems. When used with a separate storage tank, the circulation may be either by gravity or by means of a circulating pump. When a circulating pump is used it is important to note that the flow rate should be slow so that there will be a minimum of turbulence inside the heater.
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 should 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 DATA

General

Control Circuits

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.
Voltage applied to the heater should not vary more than +5% to -10% of the model and rating plate marking for satisfactory operation.
Do NOT energize the branch circuit for any reason before the water heater tank is filled with water. Doing so may cause the heating elements to fail.

The water heater is equipped with an electronic control system. The system includes a CCB (Central Control Board), an immersion temperature probe with ECO for temperature sensing and limiting, a UIM (User Interface Module) for user interface & information display and element current sensors for monitoring the power circuits. Refer to the control circuit label on the water heater for details. The CCB is powered by a small 120V/24V transformer. The control circuit operates on 120V supplied by a larger 100VA transformer.
Sequence of Operation

The installation must conform to these instructions and the 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.
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. For convenience, portions of the wire size tables from the Code are reproduced in Table 3. It is suggested the electrician size the branch circuit at 125 percent 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 in the Features and Components illustrations in Figure 2. The model and rating plate provides heater circuit ratings. There are two main electrical circuits:
Control Circuit: Power supply for the electromagnetic contactor coils. 120V power is supplied to the contactor coils by the CCB (Central Control Board) see wiring diagrams in this manual.
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 and includes wiring diagrams.

1. When the control is powered, the UIM should display model information, water temperature, operating setpoint, heating status and operating mode.
2. If the control determines that the actual water temperature inside the tank is below the programmed operating setpoint minus the (1st) differential setpoint, a call for heat is activated.
3. After all safety checks are verified the CCB will energize the contactor coil(s). On models with more than one heating element the upper most heating elements are energized first. Successive heating elements are energized according to programmed differential setpoints for each heating element.
4. The control remains in the heating mode until the water temperature reaches the programmed operating setpoint. At this point the contactors will be de-energized.
5. The control system now enters the standby operating mode while continuing to monitor the water temperature and the state of other system devices. If the water temperature drops below the programmed Operating Setpoint minus the (1st) differential setpoint, the control will automatically return to step 2 and repeat the heating cycle.
Power Circuit
Power circuit wiring is type THHN (or equivalent) rated 600 volts, 105°C, sized as necessary.
The following wiring diagrams are included in this manual 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
Refer to the Features and Components section of this manual for the location of components mentioned in the instructions that follow.

7. Close the cabinet door and perform start up checks listed below before turning on the electricity.
Initial Start Up

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.
Some models will be equipped with an optional LWCO (low water cut off). The water probe is installed in the storage tank ­ see the Features and Components illustrations at the beginning of this manual for location. The control system will declare a Fault condition and lock out (de-energize contactor coils and heating elements) if the water level is below this point.

The following checks should be made by the installer when the water heater is placed into operation for the first time:
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 cabinet.

The pilot switch (power on/off toggle switch) on the cabinet front 3. Observe the operation of the electrical components during the

energized.

Temperature control and contactor operation should be checked by allowing heater to come up to temperature and shut off automatically. USE CARE AS THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS ARE ENERGIZED.

Draining the Water Heater

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

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 pilot toggle switch.

3. Open a nearby hot water faucet until the water is no longer hot.

4. Close the cold water inlet valve to heater.

5. Open drain valve.

6. If the heater is being drained for an extended shutdown, it is suggested the drain valve be left open during this period.

To fill the water heater with water:

Follow FILLING instructions when restoring hot water service, see the list above.

1. Turn off the electrical disconnect switch.

2. Turn off pilot toggle 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 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.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

High Temperature Limit Controls (ECO)

Temperature Adjustment

This water heater is equipped with an ECO (energy cut out) non adjustable high temperature limit control. An ECO is a normally closed switch that opens (activates) on a rise in temperature. If the ECO switch contacts open (activate) due to abnormally high water temperatures the control system will lock-out and disable further heating element operation. It is important that a qualified service agent be contacted to determine the reason for the ECO activation before resetting the ECO. Once the reason has been determined and corrected the ECO can be reset as follows:

The ECO high temperature limit switch is located inside the immersion temperature probe (two red wires). The ECO switch contacts will open when the water temperature reaches approximately 202°F/94°C and close at approximately 120°F/49°C. When the ECO switch contacts open (activate) 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. Should the ECO activate, the water temperature must drop below 120°F/49°C before the control system can be reset. Once the water temperature has cooled below this point the power supply to the water heater must be turned off and on again to reset the control system.

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 "Temperatures Menu." This and all control system menus are accessed through the UIM (User Interface Module - see Figure 3.) located on the front panel of the water heater.

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.

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.
Setting the water heater temperatures at 120°f will reduce the risk of scalds. Some States require settings at specific lower temperatures.

Control System Features

Advanced Diagnostics

Plain English text and animated icons display detailed operational and diagnostic information. LCD screen on the front of the water heater displays the Sequence of Operation in real time. Fault or Alert messages are displayed when operational problems occur. Advanced Service menu displays a list of possible causes for current Fault and Alert conditions to aid in servicing.

Figure 4.

Economy Mode Operation

Depending on tank size and how they were ordered from the factory the water heaters covered in this manual may be equipped with 1 to 5 electric heating elements. The illustration here shows how the heating elements are numbered for control purposes and how the openings for each heating element are physically located on the water heater's storage tank.
Control Options
The water heaters covered in this manual are factory ordered with 1 of 3 different heating element control options as follows:

Control system automatically lowers the Operating Set Point by a programmed value during user defined time periods. Helps reduce operating costs during unoccupied or peak demand periods.
Control System Navigation
The UIM (User Interface Module) is located on the front cabinet of the water heater. All operational information and user settings are displayed and accessed using the UIM. The UIM includes five snap acting (momentary) user input buttons; an Up, Down and 3 Operational Buttons.

On/Off Control: This is the only configuration available on models equipped with a single heating element and the standard configuration on models equipped with more than one element. All elements are cycled on simultaneously with each call for heat, however there is a one second delay between elements being energized to reduce starting current. All elements are cycled off at the same time at the end of each heating cycle.

Linear Sequencing: Only available on models equipped with multiple heating elements. Elements are energized and de-energized according to adjustable (1 to 20°F) Differential set points for each element. Element Rotation - first element on is rotated with each successive call for heat. First On/Last Off - the first heating element energized at the beginning of a heating cycle is the last element de-energized at the end of the heating cycle. Successive heating cycles would progress as follows on a model equipped with 3 heating elements:

Figure 5.
Up & Down Buttons
Used to navigate (up and down) and to select (highlight) menu items. Also used to adjust or change (increase/decrease, on/off, set time) various user settings.

· First heating cycle: Elements come on [1, 2, 3] and cycle off [3, 2, 1]. Operational Buttons

· Second heating cycle: Elements come on [2, 3, 1] and cycle off [1, 3, 2]. · Third heating cycle: Elements come on: [3, 1, 2] and cycle off [2, 1, 3]. · Fourth heating cycle: pattern repeats - same as first.

The 3 Operational Buttons are multifunctional. Their current function is defined by the text that appears directly above each button on the LCD screen. The function will change depending on what menu is currently displayed or what menu item is selected. When no text appears on the LCD screen above an Operational Button there is no function assigned.

Progressive Sequencing: Only available on models equipped with multiple heating elements. Elements are energized and deenergized according to adjustable (1 to 20°F) Differential set points for each element. Element Rotation - first element on is rotated with each successive call for heat. First On/First Off - the first heating element energized at the beginning of a heating cycle is the first element de-energized at the end of the heating cycle. Successive heating cycles would progress as follows on a model equipped with 3 heating elements:

The Desktop Screen
The illustration below shows the control system "Desktop Screen." This is the default screen. If there are no active Fault or Alert conditions and no user input for approximately 10 minutes the control system will return to this screen automatically.
Model Information: Model information and menu titles are shown in the black bar at the top of the Desktop Screen.

· First heating cycle: Elements come on [1, 2, 3] and cycle off [1, 2, 3]. · Second heating cycle: Elements come on [2, 3, 1] and cycle off [2, 3, 1]. · Third heating cycle: Elements come on: [3, 1, 2] and cycle off [3, 1, 2]. · Fourth heating cycle: pattern repeats - same as first.

Tank Temperature: Current water temperature as sensed from the immersion Temperature Probe.
Operating Set Point: Temperature at which the control system will maintain tank (water) temperature in the Normal Mode. This line of text will read Economy Set Point whenever the control system is operating in the Economy Mode.

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/stop based on the calibrated Tank Temperature.

Adjustable user setting(s) 1°F to 20° range; factory default is 2°F. The water heaters covered in this manual will have between 1 and 5 heating elements. There is at least one Differential Setting on all models. There will be additional Differential Settings for each additional heating element installed.

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.

MAINTENANCE

General
Water heater maintenance includes inspection and testing of the Temperature Pressure Relief Valve, periodic tank flushing and cleaning, and removal of lime scale from the heating elements. Where used, water heating system circulating pumps should be oiled.
Tank flushing and element maintenance should be performed in accordance with the maintenance schedule, see Table 9. Tank sediment removal and element lime scale removal must be performed when needed as determined by periodic inspections.

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 the Start Up section of this manual, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a properly rated/sized new one.
If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the water heater weeps or discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion. Consult your local water supplier or a Qualified Service Agency for further information. Do not plug the temperaturepressure relief valve.

Anode Inspection and Replacement
This water heater is equipped with a non sacrificial powered anode rod and a sacrificial anode. Sacrificial anodes protect the glass lined tank from corrosion by sacrificing themselves through electrolysis. When the anode material is consumed, there is no more protection and corrosion of the tank accelerates. Powered anode rods are non sacrificial and should not need to be replaced unless damaged.
Inspection of the sacrificial anode every 6 to 12 months allows you to identify a spent anode and replace it. Replace the anode when its diameter is 3/8" (1 cm) of an inch, or annually which ever is first. Aggressive, very hot and softened water causes rapid consumption of the anode requiring frequent inspections. Call the toll free number on the back cover of this manual for information on obtaining replacement anode rods.

Table 9. Maintenance Schedule.
Flushing
The water heater drain valve should be opened periodically to help prevent sediment buildup on the tank bottom. 1. Turn off the electrical disconnect switch.

2. Open a nearby hot water faucet until the water is no longer hot, then close the hot water faucet.

3. Attach hose to outlet opening of drain valve and direct end to drain.

· Open the drain valve by turning the hand wheel to the left (counterclockwise). Allow water to flow until it runs clean.

· If water does not flow from opened drain valve, follow instructions for sediment removal.

4. When finished flushing:

· Close heater drain valve and remove hose.

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a month. Lift the lever at the top of valve several times until the valve seats properly and operates freely, see Figure 7.
When checking the temperature-pressure relief valve operation, make sure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) that the water discharge will not cause any property damage, as the water may be extremely hot. Use care when operating valve as the valve may be hot.

· Turn on electricity.
Sediment Removal
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 elements and cause their failure.
For convenience, sediment removal and element lime scale removal should be performed at the same time as follows.
Lime Scale Removal

Lime scale accumulations on the heating elements is a normal condition, common to all immersion type elements. Factors which affect the amounts of this formation are:

1. Amount of hot water used. As the volume of the water heated increases, more scale results.

Figure 7.

2. 30

Water temperature. As the temperature of the water is increased, more scale is deposited on the elements.

3. Characteristics of water supply.
Regardless of water treatment, the elements should be examined regularly.
Lime scale accumulations may cause noises to occur during operation.

and allow scale to dissolve. Do not permit delimer or water to contact heating element 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.

It is recommended that a heating element be removed periodically for examination. If it is scaled, all of the elements should be removed and cleaned. If the tank bottom has an accumulation of sediment it should be cleaned.

Call the toll free phone number on the back cover of this Instruction Manual to purchase UN-LIME and heating element gaskets.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST

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.

Water Is Too Hot
Refer to the TEMPERATURE REGULATION section of this manual.

The illustration in the Features and Components section of this manual identifies the location of most of the heater components.

Water Heater Makes Strange Sounds
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 MAINTENANCE section of this manual for details.

2. Some of the electrical components of the water heater make sounds which are normal ie. contactors will "Click" or snap as the heater starts and stops.

Leakage Checkpoints

1. Check to see if the drain valve is tightly closed.

BE SURE TO TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY (ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT SWITCH) WHEN CHECKING EQUIPMENT.
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.
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.
4. The storage capacity and/or recovery rate of the water heater may have been exceeded by a large demand for hot water. See the Recovery Data tables in this manual.
Large demands require a recovery period to restore water temperature.
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.

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. 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.
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: 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 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.
4. 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.
IF YOU CANNOT IDENTIFY OR CORRECT THE SOURCE OF MALFUNCTION:
1. Place the water heater electrical disconnect switch in the OFF position.
2. Close the cold water inlet valve to the heater.

7. Sediment or lime scale may be affecting water heater operation. 3. Call the toll free number on the back cover of this manual for
