<Thermostat>
(1) Remove the front panel. (Refer to Procedure 1.)
(2) Peel off the water-proof tapes on the plastic head of the
thermostat in order to reveal the thermostat terminals,
and disconnect the lead wires from the terminals.
(Photos 9-1 and 9-2)
• Use new commercially available water-proof tapes to
cover the terminals again.
(3) Pull out the thermostat.
<Immersion heater>

(5) Pull out the immersion heater.
• When reinstalling the immersion heater, use a new
G1-3/4" gasket.
Note:
When replacing the immersion heater only, skip Step (2).
After reinstalling the back nut with the tab cover onto the
tank, insert the immersion heater straight into the tank
through the back nut in order to provide adequate sealing.
Failure to do so may cause water leakage.
Always check for water leakage after installation.
