WARNING
FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED 3/4” X 3/4”
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL RELEASE THE
MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM
EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES.
If this water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as the
one having a back-flow preventer in the cold water supply, provisions shall be
made to control thermal expansion. DO NOT operate
this water heater in a closed system without provisions for controlling thermal
expansion. Your water supplier or local plumbing inspector should be
contacted on how to control this situation
After installation of the water lines, open the main water supply valve and fill
the water heater. While the water heater is filling, open several hot water
faucets to allow air to escape from the water system. When a steady stream
of water flows through the faucets, close them and check all water connections
for possible leaks. NEVER OPERATE THE WATER HEATER WITHOUT
FIRST BEING CERTAIN IT IS FILLED WITH WATER.
WARNING
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that
has not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time
(generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely
flammable. To prevent the possibility of injury under these
conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet to be open for
several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical
appliance which is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen
is present, there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping
through the pipes as hot water begins to flow. Do not smoke or
have open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water at any faucet in the
system. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain
appliances such as dishwashers and automatic clothing washers may require
increased temperature water. By setting the thermostat on this water heater
to obtain the increased temperature water required by these appliances, you
may create the potential for scald injury. To protect against injury, you should
install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system. This valve will
reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold
