The installation area must provide adequate clearances for
removal of the front panel and servicing the unit.
3.
Locate the wall studs in the area where the unit is to be
mounted.
4.
Cut two sections of 1/2 inch plywood or equivalent material
3 inches in height. The length of each section should be
sufficient to span the width of the wall studs. See Figure 3A.
5.
Use appropriately sized nails or wood screws to attach the
two wall supports to the wall as show in Figure 3A.
6.
Drill two 13/32 inch holes in the upper wall support NOTE:
The holes must be level.

the wall bracket over the anchors and screw the two Phillips
head screws down tight against the bracket.

1.
The selected wall or cabinet must be capable of supporting
double the weight of the unit when completely full of
water(77Ibs ).

WATER PIPING
DANGER
Water temperature over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly resulting in severe injury
or death.
Children, the elderly, and the
physically or mentally disabled are
at highest risk for scald injury.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available. Read this instruction
manual for safe temperature setting.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated
to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes
washing, dish washing, cleaning and other sanitizing needs can
scald and permanently injury you upon contact. Some people are
more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others.
These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/
mentally disabled. If anyone using hot water in your home fits
into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law
requiring certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then
you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest
possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs,
a means such as a mixing valve should be used at the hot water
taps used by these people or at the water heater. Valves for
reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and hot water
are also available.
Consult a Qualified Installer or Service Agency. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for installation of the valves.
Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the
"Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.
