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.

HARD WATER
Where hard water conditions exist, water softening or the threshold type
of water treatment is recommended. This will protect the dishwashers,
coffee urns, water heaters, water piping and other equipment.
