General Information continued-
A sacrificial anode(s) is used to extend tank life. Removal of any anode, for
any reason, except for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the
warranty. In areas where water is unusually active, an odor may occur at the
hot water faucet due to a reaction between the sacrificial anode and
impurities in the water. If this should happen, an alternative anode(s) may
be purchased from the supplier that installed this water heater. This will
minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally, the water heater
should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any bacteria.
Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and it's components for
possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is
evident, please contact the supplier where the water heater was purchased
or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement parts.

Before installing this water heater, consult the installation section of these
instructions. After reading these installation and operating instructions,
select a location for the water heater where the floor is level and is easily
accessible to a power supply and water connections. It is recommended
