MAINTENANCE
To ensure maximum performance of your water heater and to reduce the risk of a water
leak, we recommend the following maintenance:
Inspect the connections on the inlet and outlet of the water heater at least on an annual basis
for any signs of damage or failure. Any signs of damage, cracks, leakage or weakness should be
addressed. Take care not to over tighten the connections. Serious internal damage to your water
heater can occur if you over tighten the water heater connections at the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
!
DANGER
As with all electrical appliances, under no circumstances should you attempt to
install, repair or disassemble this water heater without first shutting off all power to the unit directly at
the fuse or circuit breaker. SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR IF YOU IGNORE
THIS WARNING.
When any maintenance is performed on the water heater or the home's plumbing system that may
introduce air into the plumbing pipes, it is important to turn the power off to the water heater and
purge the air out of the lines before allowing the unit to power up. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATING ELEMENT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
If you have a water supply with a high level of mineralization (hard water), you should increase the
frequency of your maintenance.
