To the Installer:
Please attach these instructions
next to the water heater.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause serious
injury or property damage. Refer to this
manual. For assistance or additional
information, consult a qualified installer or
service agency.
CAUTION
The recommended temperature for normal
residential use is 120°F. The dial on the
aquastat does not always reflect the out-
coming water temperature, which could
occasionally exceed 120°F. The variation in
out-coming temperature could be based on
factors including but not limited to usage
patterns and type of installation. Test your
water at the tap nearest to the water heater.
WARNING
Hotter water increases the risk of scald
injury. Before adjusting the water
temperature setting, read this instruction
manual. Temperatures at which injury occurs
vary with the person's age and the length of
exposure.
The slower reaction time of children, elderly,
and physically or mentally challenged
persons increases the scalding hazard to
them. It is recommended that lower water
temperatures be used where these exposure
hazards exist. Such households may require a
temperature setting less than 120°F to
prevent accidental contact with hot water.
To lower water temperature use point-of-use
temperature limiting devices.
WARNING
Water heater blankets are not recommended
and will void the warranty.

SECTION I: SPECIFICATIONS (cont.) Table 2: Capacity & Performance Model 80STE 119STE SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION SOLAR STORAGE TANK WITH ELECTRIC BACKUP FUNCTION The solar storage tank is designed to store water that has been directly heated in a solar panel or indirectly heated by a solar panel through an external heat exchanger. - Page 6 SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.) The thermostat is factory set at 120°F. See Table 6 for thermostat letter and temperature relationships. If hotter water is required a tempering device or anti-scald device must be installed at the domestic hot water outlet of the heater or at the point of use. Table 3 details the approximate relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury.
- Page 7 SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.) ANODE RODS The anode rod is used as a sacrificial element within the volume of the storage tank. The purpose of the magnesium anode rod is to protect the inside of the tank against corrosion. Anode rods should be inspected twice in the first year and at least yearly once a time interval for inspection has been developed.

Page 8: Section Iii: Pre-Installation
SECTION III: PRE-INSTALLATION LOCATION CAUTION This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank, water line connections, or the temperature and pressure relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to lower floors of the structure. When such location cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the water heater. -
Page 9: Section Iv: Installation
SECTION IV: INSTALLATION WATER CONNECTIONS CAUTION This water heater incorporates fittings that contain a nonmetallic lining. DO NOT apply heat to these fittings when making sweat connections to the heater. Sweat tubing to an adapter before securing adapter to any fittings on water heaters. ALL PIPING SHOULD CONFORM TO LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES. - Page 10 SECTION IV: INSTALLATION (cont.) If the solar storage tank is installed in a system that utilizes a heat transfer medium other than potable water, a separate (external) heat exchanger must be installed. The external heat exchanger must be constructed such that if a failure occurs, it will not result in contamination of the potable water.

Page 13: Section V: Operation
SECTION V: OPERATION INITIAL START-UP Reference the solar collector installation instructions for proper start-up of the solar collector. Be sure that fluid flow in the solar system is established. HEATING OPERATIONS Condition 1: The minimum temperature difference (for heat transfer) between the potable water at the bottom of the tank and the solar collector is sensed by the solar controller. -
Page 14: Section Vi: Maintenance
SECTION V: OPERATION (cont.) CAUTION Hot water in excess of 120°F can cause scalding! The temperature at which injury occurs varies with the person’s age and the time of exposure. The slower response time of disabled persons increases the hazards to them. NEVER allow small children to use a hot water tap. -
Page 15: Section Vii: Troubleshooting
SECTION VI: MAINTENANCE (cont.) FLUSH THE TANK The solar storage tank is glass lined. Elements in the water such as lime, iron and other minerals may accumulate in the tank.
