OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR UNITS WITH ELECTRIC ELEMENT
Electric water heaters are designed to operate with a minimum amount of service
problem s; however, proper operation and care is essential.
By far the most common trouble with electric water heaters results from
energizing the water heater before it is filled with water. Even brief operation of
the electric element without water in the tank will burn-out the electric heating
element.
To energize the electric heating elem ent, turn the switch to "on". The switch is
located behind the water heater door in the lower left corner of the control
housing. The water temperature will be regulated by the thermostat.
TO TURN OFF WATER HEATER
1. Turn switch to “OFF” position.
2. Turn off electrical power to the appliance.
3. Turn off gas supply.
4. If vehicle is to be stored or heater is going to be turned off while subject to
freezing temperature, drain water heater. (See “Draining and Storage
Instructions.”)
