General Information - Waiwela WM-2.5 Installation And Operating Insctruction Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

The WaiWela Mini Tank water heaters can be used in most under the
counter, point of use applications. Models WM-2.5, WM-4.0 and WM-6.0
are designed to supply hot water for all hand wash and kitchen sinks in a
residential, commercial or industrial environment.
The WM-2.5, WM-4.0 and WM-6.0 can replace traditional central hot wa-
ter heaters thereby conserving water and reducing energy waste.
The WaiWela Mini tank water heaters are lightweight and compact and
manufactured for easy installation. The WM-2.5, WM-4.0 and WM-6.0
are designed to be mounted on the wall.
WM-2.5, WM-4.0 and WM-6.0 are designed to operate at 150 psi maxi-
mum water pressure. Install a pressure reducing valve if your water
pressure is greater than 150 psi.
CAUTION!: The manufacturer cannot be responsible for the damage
caused by improper installation or by failure to follow instructions in this
manual. Comply with the Installation Instructions before connecting to
electrical outlet.
CAUTION!: The thermostat has been pre-set at the factory between
41°C (105°F) and 45°C (113°F).
CAUTION!: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system
served by this heater that has not been used for a long period of time
(generally 2 weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To
reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that
the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the nearest and
most distant sink being served by this water heater before using any
electrical appliance connected to the hot water system i.e. Dishwasher.
If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such
as air escaping through the faucet as the water begins to flow. There
should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at this time.
WARNING: Installer should review the contents of this manual with the
owner upon completion of the installation, and the manual should remain
with the owner and placed in a location close to the water heater.
