  如果没有安装和维护一个新的、经过认证合格的3/4"×3/4"降温减压安全阀,由此产生的因过热或超压而造成的后果,制造商将不承担任何责任。

  除非当地有关规定有要求,否则不需要安装止回阀或防止水倒流的类似装置。一个封闭的系统将导致安全阀频繁操作。

  注意
  为了避免热水器过热或超压所带来的危险,当地有关规定可能要求安装过热和超压保护装置,但是,至少也要安装一个由国家推荐的检验实验室认证的降温减压安全阀,并且在使用过程中,要对这些合格的装置进行定期的检查和维护,确认符合美国燃气协会发布的《美国热水供应系统自动燃气关闭装置安全阀规定》中的ANSI Z21.22要求。这种安全法必须标注不能超过的最大设置压力和热水器的最大工作压力。这种阀门每小时排放高温蒸汽BTU的能力必须超过热水器每小时产生热量的能力。 在热水器上用于安装安全阀的接口处安装安全阀,并将安全阀朝向或连接管道使得安全阀的排泄口距离地漏口高6英寸高度的地方,或者任何结构地面下方,不得接触任何电源部件。在热水起储水罐和安全阀之间不需要安装任何阀门。排泄管道必须能够完全容纳安全阀和排泄管的排泄物。在任何情况下,都不得限制或减少排泄管道的尺寸。排泄管道的终端开口必须靠近地漏或其他不会堵塞或冻结的地方。不要对排泄管攻螺纹、堵塞子或加盖。在排泄管道出口和地漏之间要留下6英寸的距离。(请参见图1)
  安装完所有水管后,打开主要供水阀门,将热水器储水罐注满水。打开几个热水水龙头,让热水管道中的气体在注水过程中排放出来。当水从水龙头流出时,关闭水龙头,并检验管路系统中是否有泄漏现象。

  电路连接
  在进行电路连接之前,请确认热水器是否已经注满水,冷水进口阀门是否处于开启状态。在连接前要检验额定面板上的电路图。本电热水器的生产以及电路的连接设计都符合美国UL认证要求。可以对温度控制装置进行人工设置,可根据设定的温度自动开关电源。本款电热水器还在工厂就预先安装了能够在温度控制装置失效的情况下切断全部电源的装置。温度控制装置在工厂就预先设置,并且按照电路图所示进行布线,固定在热水器顶部面板入口内。
  您所在地区的经销商定购的热水器的布线符合当地现行的规定,但是当地现行的规定可能要求或允许其他种类的电源供应。如果出现这些情况,请向当地电力供应商咨询,确定正确的符合当地有关规定的电源连接方式,以便获得最经济的电源利用。在安装之前请确认安装人是否需要获得许可。下列表格显示所推荐的适用于电热水器最大功率瓦数的保险丝尺寸。在热水器的规格面板上,标注着最大功率瓦数和额定电压。

  注意
  如果把温度控制器的温度调节到高于工厂预置的温度,将可能导致严重的烧伤和消耗更多的能源。水温越高,烫伤的危险就越高。
  如果需要把热水器的水全部排干,应该首先关闭电源开关,关闭冷水进口阀门,打开热水水龙头让空气进入管道系统,并且打开排水阀。排水阀上有螺纹,可连接标准软管。对于橱柜类型热水器,前部面板必须拆卸下来,以便连接排水阀。

  注意
  长期(一般是两星期以上)没有使用的热水器所连接的热水管道系统可能会产生氢气。氢气是特别易燃的气体。在这种情况下,为了避免伤害事故的发生,建议在打开热水器的电源开关之前,厨房热水水龙头要先打开几分钟。如果有氢气存在,在水流动的时候,可能会有异常的声响好像有空气从管道内排出。这时,在开启的水龙头附近不能吸烟或由其它明火。

  维护
  如果供水中断,必须立即关闭电源。
  在冰冻的季节,如果住宅没有人居住,应该关闭热水器电源、水源,将热水器内的水全部排光,以免在热水器储水罐内出现结冰现象。
  为了保证热水器热效率达到最佳状态,延长储水罐的使用寿命,要把内胆内的水排干净,使得排水阀流出的水是清水。至少每个月要排水一次。如果没有这样做,可能会导致热水器运转有噪音,在内胆底部沉淀石灰和水垢。检查降温减压安全阀是否被石灰堵塞。反复扳动安全阀的把手几次,直到安全阀能够正常泄水,操作灵活,并且没有泄漏。

  安全事项
  扳动降温减压安全阀把手,热水将在压力下释放出来。要确保任何释放出来的热水不会导致任何人体伤害或财产损失。应该定期检查阳极棒,为了延长热水器的使用寿命,在必要时,更换阳极棒。

  服务
  当热水器内的热水温度超过88℃时,热水器上的超高温自动跳闸装置会自动切断电源,也可以人工切断电源。如果经过合理的时间,仍然没有产生热水,请检查保险丝是否烧断。如果保险丝正常,请给维修人员打电话,让维修人员在重新设置超高温控制装置之前,全面检查包括温度控制器在内的全部元件。情与当地的管道恭贺电力供应公司联系,更换配件或任何您认为有问题的部件。请要求厂家和经销商检验所更换的配件是否符合要求。
  为了延长内胆使用寿命,本热水器安装了组合型阳极棒/热水出口螺纹接头。这种阳极棒因定期检查,如果需要的话要进行更换。如果需要有关更换阳极棒的信息资料,请与面板上的厂商联系。水的软化装置可能增加阳极棒的损耗。如果使用软化(或经过磷酸盐处理)的水,应该更加经常检查阳极棒。 本热水器采用金属镁阳极棒,有利于延长内胆的使用寿命。无论什么原因拆卸这种阳极棒,都使得本热水器的质量保证无效。

  FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED 3/4" X 3/4" TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL RELEASE THE MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURES.

  Do not install a check valve or other devices that would prevent reverse flow of water unless required by local codes. A closed system will result and frequent operations of the relief valve will occur.

CAUTION:
  The reduce the risk of excessive pressures and temperatures in this water heater, install temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the Requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, available from the American Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209. This valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marke working pressure on the water heater. This valve must also have an hourly rated temperature steam BTU discharge capacity not less than the hourly input rating of the water heater. Install the valve into the opening provided and marked for this purpose in the water heater, and orient it or provide piping so that any discharge from the valve will exit only within 6 inches above, or at any distance below the structural floor and cannot contact any live electrical part. No valve is to be placed between the relief valve and tank. The discharge line must be installed to allow complete drainage of both the relief valve and the discharge line. The discharge line must not be restricted or reduced in size under any circumstances. The end of the discharge line opening should terminate near a floor drain or other suitable location not subject to blocking or freezing. DO NOT thread, plug or cap the discharge line. Leave an air gap of approximately six (6) inches between the end of the discharge line and a drain pan. (see figure 1).
  After the installation of all water lines, open the main water supply valve and fill the heater. Open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the system while the heater if filling. When water passes through the faucets, close them and check for possible leaks in the system.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
  Before any electrical connections are made, be sure that the heater is full of water and that the valve in the cold water supply line is open. Check the rating plate and wiring diagram before proceeding. This electric water heater was built and wired in accordance with the Underwriters' Laboratories' testing approvals requirements. The temperature limiting device is of the manual reset, trip-free type and has been factory installed to interrupt all ungrounded power supply conductors in the event of thermostat failure. Thermostats are factory set and wired in accordance with the wiring diagram fastened to the inside of the top access panel.
  The dealer in your area ordered this heater wired at the factory to comply with existing area codes, but local utility codes may require or allow other circuity. Consult your local power company to determine the correct electrical hook-up in order to meet local utility and building codes and in order to obtain the most economical rates. Also check to find out if you are required to obtain a permit before starting the installation. The following chart shows the recommended fuse size for the maximum heater wattage. The maximum wattage and rated voltage are shown on the heater data plate.
  The heater must be well grounded. A green ground screw is provided at the electrical connection point for connecting a ground wire.

OPERATION:
  Before closing the switch to allow electric current to flow to the heater, make certain that the heater is full of water and that the cold water inlet valve is open. Complete failure of the heating elements will result if they are not totally immersed in water at all times. When the switch is closed, the operation of this electric water heater is automatic. The thermostats are preset to the "HOT" setting to provide a water temperature of approximately 120oF to reduce the risk of scald injury. CAUTION: Scalding may occur within five (5) seconds at a temperature setting of 135oF.
  This water heater is capable of delivering high temperature hot water at any faucet in the system. Care must be taken whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances require high temperature hot water (such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers). In order to prevent potential scald injury, install an antiscald tempering valve in the water system. Valves for reducing point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch water lines are available. A qualified plumber should be consulted.
  The temperature of the water can be changed by adjusting the thermostats. Before any work is done on the heater, disconnect all power to the heater by opening the switch at the main electrical circuit breaker of fuse box. Remove the access panels or front panel on table tops, fold the insulation outward away from the controls. Set the thermostats to the desired water temperature using a screw driver to move the thermostat pointer, replace the insulation making sure that the controls are well covered and that the plastic terminal shield has not been displaced; then replace the access panel. The heater is now ready for operation and the main switch can be closed.

  For Your Safety: Increasing the wattage and/or voltage from factory original equipment can require changes to the water heater and/or the electric service. Unauthorized modification of the water heater may create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the warranty. Contact your dealer or utility company before making any changes.

OTHER U.S. AND FOREIGN PATENT APPLICATIONS PENDING. CURRENT CANADIAN PATENTS: 1,272,914; 1,280,043; 1,289,832; 2,112,515.

  CAUTION: INCREASING THE THERMOSTAT SETTING ABOVE THE PRESET TEMPERATURE MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND CONSUME EXCESSIVE ENERGY. HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY.

  When necessary to completely drain the heater, shut to off the electric power supply to heater, close cold water inlet, open a hot water faucet to allow air to enter the system and open the drain valve, which is threaded to receive a standard hose coupling. On Table Top models, the front panel must be removed to gain access to the drain valve.

  CAUTION: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more.) Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

  MAINTENANCE:
  Shut off the electric power whenever the water supply is turned off.
  Shut off the electric power, water supply and drain the heater completely to prevent freezing whenever the building is left unoccupied during the cold weather months. In order to insure efficient operation and long tank life, drain the heater through the drain valve until water runs clear. Drain it at least once a month. Failure to do this may result in noisy operation and lime and sediment buildup in the bottom of the tank. Check the temperature-pressure relief valve to insure that the valve has not become incrusted with lime. Lift the lever at the top of the valve several times until valve seats properly without leaking and operates freely.

  SAFETY WARNING: When lifting lever of temperature/pressure relief valve, hot water will be released under pressure. Be certain that any released water does not result in bodily injury or property damage. The magnesium anode rod should be inspected periodically and replaced when necessary to prolong tank life.

  SERVICE:
  The manual reset, trip-free temperature limiting devices on this heater will cut off all power to heater if temperature of water exceeds 190oF. If there is no hot water after a reasonable period of time, check the main fuse box. In the event that the fuses have not blown, call a serviceman; have him check the entire circuit including the elements and thermostats before resetting the temperature limiting device. Heater must be disconnected from power supply before servicing switch. Consult the plumber or electric service company in your area for all service, replacement parts or any questions you might have regarding this heater. Insist on factory inspected and approved replacement parts.
  A combination anode rod/hot water outlet nipple has been installed to extend tank life. This rod should be inspected periodically and replaced when necessary. Contact manufacturer listed on rating plate for replacement anode information. The use of a water softener may increase the speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection of the anode is needed when using softened (or phosphate treated) water.
  Magnesium anode is used to extend tank life. Removal of this anode for any purpose will NULLIFY THE WARRANTY.
  Read the warranty attached to this water heater for a full explanation of the time period that parts and heater are warranted.
