INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS:±
•±±
When±pipe±insulation±is±not±rated±for±the±appropriate±
weather±conditions,±install±electric±heat±tracing±or±
equivalent±to±prevent±freezing±of±the±pipes.
•±±
Do±not±insulate±or±block±drain±valve±on±the±hot±outlet±
fitting.
•±±
If±pipes±are±allowed±to±freeze,±the±water±heater±and±
the±pipes±may±malfunction±or±leak±due±to±freezing±
water.±
NOTICE:
±The±hot±and±cold±water±supply±pipes±
should±be±insulated±to±provide±additional±freeze±
protection.±
For±increased±energy±efficiency,±use±pipe±insulation±as±
shown±in±the±diagram.±Insulate±the±pipes±all±the±way±
to±the±top.±DO±NOT±cover±any±drain±or±pressure-relief±
valve(s).±

Be±sure±the±condensate±runs±freely±to±a±drain±and±
does±not±accumulate±inside±the±water±heater.±In±cold±
climates,±precautions±may±need±to±be±taken±to±ensure±
that±the±condensate±drain±does±not±freeze.±
•±±
All±condensation±must±drain±and±dispose±of±per±local±
code.±
•±±
If±the±condensate±drain±gets±blocked,±an±error±code±
will±display±on±the±remote±control.±If±this±occurs,±the±
condensate±drain±must±be±cleared.±
•±±
Use±only±PVC±or±CPVC±pipe±or±flexible±tube±for±the±
condensate±drain±line.±
•±±
The±drain±pipe±(along±its±entire±length)±must±be±at±
least±the±same±diameter±as±the±drain±line.
•±±
The±drain±line±should±be±as±short±as±possible±and±
have±a±downward±slope±toward±the±end.±
•±±
The±end±of±the±drain±pipe±should±be±open±to±the±
atmosphere.±The±end±should±not±be±under±water±or±
other±substances.±
•±±
Do±not±connect±the±drain±pipe±directly±to±the±drain±
sewer.
•±±
Do±not±connect±the±drain±pipe±with±an±air-
