To fill the water heater with water:
1. Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to the right
(clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of the water
heater.
2. Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.
NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open when
the water heater is in use.
3. To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening the
nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run until a constant flow
is obtained. This will let air out of the water heater and the piping.
4. Check all water piping and connections for leaks. Repair as needed.
T&P VALVE and PIPE INSULATION (On Selected Models)
Remove insulation for T&P Valve and pipe connections from carton.
Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot water
line. Make sure that the insulation is against the side jacket of the
heater.
Fit T&P Valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation does
not interfere with the lever or outlet of the T&P valve.
Secure all insulation using tape.
