Before Using

1. Make sure the water heater has been properly

installed. See “Installing Your Water Heater” section.

2. Make sure the air filter is correctly seated, as it may shift

during shipping or installation. See “Repair Parts Illustration”

section.

3. Completely fill the tank with water (See “Water Piping”

section).

4. After the water heater tank is completely filled with water,

connect electrical power to the water heater.

5. Read the “Water Temperature Regulation” section of this

manual. If you do not fully understand these instruction,

contact a qualiﬁ ed person.

6. Press the power button (See Figure 16) to turn the water heater

on and allow it to run a system diagnostic check. This typically

takes eight minutes. Once complete, proceed to the next step.

NOTE: If the system diagnostic check yields any codes,

reference the Diagnostic Code section in this manual.

7. Adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature

setting as described under “Adjusting the User Interface

Module/Operational Modes” section.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate this water heater if the

unit has been submerged, subjected to ﬂ ooding, or surrounding

insulation has been exposed to water in any way.

Do not attempt to repair a unit subjected to ﬂ ood conditions.

Water heaters subjected to ﬂ ood conditions or any time the unit

has been submerged in water require replacement of the entire

water heater.

Temperature Regulation

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended

to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which

will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing

needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some

people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water

than others. These include the elderly, children, the inﬁ rm, or

physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in

your home ﬁ ts into one of these groups or if there is a local code

or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water

tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using

the lowest possible temperature setting that satisﬁ es your hot

water needs, some type of tempering device, such as a mixing

valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these people

or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing

supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for

installation of the valves, Before changing the factory setting of

the thermostat see Temperature Settings table below.

Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, or to draw

their own bath water. Never leave a child or handicapped person

unattended in a bathtub or shower.

The water heater is adjusted to a temperature setting of no

higher than 120°F when it is shipped from the factory. Water

temperature can be regulated by adjusting the User Interface

Module to the preferred setting as shown in “Adjusting the

User Interface Module/Operational Mode” The preferred

starting point is 120°F. There is a hot water scald potential if

the temperature set point is set too high.

IMPORTANT: Adjusting the set point above 120°F on the User

Interface Module will increase the risk of scald injury in the

times shown below.

TABLE 2: WATER TEMPERATURES

NOTE: Water temperature range of 120°—140°F (49°-60°C)

recommended by most dishwasher manufacturers.

Adjusting the User Interface Module/

Operational Modes

The water temperature setting can be adjusted from 95°F to

150°F. Use the Up and Down Buttons

on the

front panel to set the desired temperature.

NOTE: The temperatures displayed on the User Interface are

approximates. The actual temperature of the heated water

may vary.

IMPORTANT: Before attempting to adjust the thermostat, read

the “Water Temperature Regulation” section. If the instructions

are not clear, contact a qualiﬁ ed person.

IMPORTANT: Filling a spa or hot tub from this water heater

may result in extended recovery/re-heat time. Hybrid mode will

provide the shortest recovery.
