INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Open±the±shut-off±valve±in±the±COLD±water±Inlet±line±
to±check±the±water±flow±through±the±water±heater.±
±
Close±the±shut-off±valve±and±remove,±clean,±and±
replace±the±water±filter.
NOTICES:
±
•±±
Be±sure±to±connect±the±COLD±water±inlet±and±the±
HOT±water±outlet±as±shown±on±the±water±heater.±If±
reversed,±the±water±heater±will±not±function.±
•±±
The±flow±rate±of±HOT±water±may±vary±when±more±than±
two±faucets±(appliances,±fixtures,±etc.)±are±being±
used±simultaneously.
•±±
The±pipes±MUST±be±completely±drainable.±If±the±HOT±
water±faucets±are±located±at±a±point±higher±than±the±
water±heater,±place±a±drain±valve±at±the±lowest±point.
It±is±recommended±to±use±unions±and±flexible±copper±
connections±at±the±COLD±and±HOT±water±lines.±They±
allow±the±water±heater±to±be±disconnected±easily±for±
servicing.
Use±the±following±guidelines±when±connecting±±
the±HOT±WATER±OUTLET:
•±±
Connections±between±the±water±heater±and±point(s)±
of±use±should±be±as±short±as±possible.
•±±
Local±codes±shall±govern±the±piping±used±for±water±
connections.±
•±±
To±conserve±energy±and±to±prevent±freezing,±insulate±
both±COLD±and±HOT±water±supply±lines.±Do±not±
insulate±drain±line±or±pressure-relief±valve.±
