Connecting the Water Heater:

1. Install T&P Valve: Thread the provided Temperature and Pressure (T&P) relief valve into the designated opening on the top of the water heater (typically marked in red for hot water outlet). Ensure a watertight seal using Teflon tape.
2. Connect Cold Water Inlet: Connect the cold water supply line to the blue-capped inlet on the top of the water heater. Use one of the adapter hoses if necessary.
3. Connect Hot Water Outlet: Connect the hot water outlet (red-capped) to your faucet's hot water line. The included 3-way diverter valve can be used to split the hot water supply to multiple points if needed.
4. Drain Tube: Attach the clear drain tube to the T&P valve and route it to an appropriate drain, ensuring it is free from kinks.
5. Fill the Tank: Before plugging in the unit, open the hot water faucet to allow air to escape and the tank to fill completely with water. Once water flows steadily from the faucet, close the faucet.
6. Power Connection: Plug the water heater into a grounded 110V-120V AC electrical outlet.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your water heater.

• Drain and Flush: Periodically drain and flush the tank to remove sediment buildup. This is especially important in areas with hard water.
• T&P Valve Check: Manually operate the T&P relief valve at least once a year to ensure it is functioning correctly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the valve.
• Inspect Connections: Regularly check all water connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
• Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Winterization: If the water heater will be exposed to freezing temperatures, drain the tank completely to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer support, please review the following common issues and solutions:

• No Hot Water:
  • Check if the unit is plugged in and receiving power.
  • Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped.
  • Verify the temperature setting is not set to "OFF" or too low.
  • Confirm the tank is full of water.
• Water Not Hot Enough:
  • Increase the temperature setting using the control knob.
  • Allow sufficient time for the water to heat up, especially after initial fill or heavy use.
• Leaking:
  • Check all plumbing connections for tightness.
  • Inspect the T&P valve for drips; this may indicate excessive pressure or a faulty valve.
  • If the leak persists, disconnect power and water supply, then contact customer support.
• Unusual Noises:
  • Popping or rumbling sounds may indicate sediment buildup in the tank. Refer to maintenance instructions for draining and flushing.
