Operating Instructions For Units With Electric Element

Electric water heaters are designed to operate with a minimum amount of service problems;
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 element, 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. (See section entitled "Thermostat And Manual Reset")
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")
ANODE PROTECTION
The tank in this water heater is protected by a magnesium or aluminum anode (Fig. 5-3) to prolong
the life of the tank. Under normal use, the anode rod will deteriorate and because of this, we
recommend it be replaced yearly.
