DRAINING THE WATER HEATER
To drain the water heater:
• Turn off the water heater (refer to “Turn Off The Water Heater” on page 73).
• Open a hot tap (preferably the shower outlet).
• Unscrew the two drain plugs, one each at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet, on the underside of
the water heater.
Water will drain from the water heater.
• When water stops flowing from the water heater, close the hot tap.
Note: It is recommended not to screw the drain plugs back in, until the water heater is to be turned on again.
