Table 4 - Installation Checklist
Part 6 - Operation
Tank must be full of water before the power is turned on.
Heating elements will be damaged if energized for even a short
time while tank is dry. Failures due to “dry-ring” ARE NOT
covered by warranty.
A. Combination Thermostat and High Limit Control
(ECO)
After water and electrical connections have been made and tank
is lled with water, turn on power to the heater. The heater is
now in operation.
Each water heater is equipped with a combination Thermostat
- High Limit Control (ECO). Thermostats are located above
the heating elements. If for any reason the water temperature
becomes excessively high, the ECO breaks the circuit to the
heating element. Once the switch opens it must be reset
manually. However, THE CAUSE OF THE OVER TEMPERATURE
CONDITION MUST BE CORRECTED FIRST.
The cause of the high temperature condition must be
investigated by a qualied service technician and corrective
action must be taken BEFORE placing the water heater back in
service. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
