Read the safety and operating information provided in the manufacturer’s manual before
attempting to activate the water heater.

the water heater without water in it may result in damage to the tank heating element
and/or controls. Double check the bypass valves, make sure they are set properly.
Always open both the hot and cold water faucets when filling the fresh water tank to allow
air pockets to be forced out of the water heater

Odor from the hot water system
Many water supplies contain sufficient amounts of sulfur to produce an odor, often called
“sulfur water.” Sulfur water can be caused by a chemical action or by bacteria. Generally,
sulfur water is not harmful, only unpleasant to smell. Refer to the water heater
manufacturer’s owner’s manual for details on eliminating the odor from sulfur water.
Odor from sulfur water is not a service problem.
