The relief valve is an important safety feature and should be checked at least once a year. You may li the lever handle
to release water from the unit and ensure that the valve is operang normally.
CAUTION:
Since the relief valve may release hot water from the unit, the water should be released directly into a suitable drain.
The relief valve should not be removed, plugged or obstructed under any circumstance.
B. FILTER
The air intake to the heat pump goes through a lter to safeguard the unit from dirt and dust. The lter is washable
and it is recommended that it be cleaned or rinsed every 2 years. Filter can access through the lter cover on top of the
unit. Please follow Fig. 7 instrucons to access the lter.
C. ANODE ROD
The unit comes pre-aached with a sacricial anode rod to counter corrosive elements in the tank. Anode rods deplete
over me and it is recommended that the anode rod in the unit be checked every two years. If the anode rod is found
to be depleted, replace the anode rod. A DEPLETED ANODE ROD WILL RESULT IN TANK FAILURE. Please follow Fig. 7
instrucons to access the anode rod.
D. SEDIMENT BUILD-UP
Sediment build-up is a common occurrence on all water heaters. Since sediment deposits in the tank of the unit can
aect performance and compromise safety, it is recommended that the tank is drained periodically. AirGenerate™
recommends draining a few quarts of water every month and draining the unit completely every year.
CAUTION:
Shut o the power to the unit before draining the unit, even if you are draining a few quarts of water only. To drain
the unit completely, shut o the cold water supply and open hot water faucet(s). Unit must be drained by opening
the drain valve located at the boom of the unit.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM POWER SOURCE.
E. CONDENSATE DRAIN TUBE
The unit is equipped with two condensate water drains – a primary drain and an overow drain. A monthly check is
recommended to ensure that the hoses are securely connected to the drains and the hoses are not kinked or clogged.
The primary condensate drain hose should slope downward to ensure that condensate is drained eecvely.
Condensate ow through the overow drain hose is an indicaon that the primary condensate drain is clogged. If
water is leaking through the heat pump enclosure, both the primary condensate and overow hoses maybe clogged or
kinked.
