Preparing the Water Heater for Use After Winterizing

WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARD!
 Fill the water heater tank BEFORE turning On the water heater circuit breaker on the 110-
volt AC master panel.
 NEVER turn On the water heater circuit breaker on the 110-volt AC master panel while the
water heater tank is empty.
 To make sure the tank is full, turn On a hot water faucet. If water flows from the tap, the
water heater tank is full.
 Even brief water heater operation with a dry tank WILL damage the heating elements.
 Warranty replacements will NOT be made on elements damaged in this manner.
Perform the following steps to put your winterized water heater back in service:
1. Close the drain valve (A).
2. Close the pressure relief
valve (B).
3. Connect the hose (C) to the
pressure relief valve (B).
4. Fill the water heater tank
with freshwater.
5. Remove the 'winterized'
tag on the water heater
breaker on the 110-volt AC
master panel after the water
heater tank is completely
filled with freshwater.
6. Turn On the water heater
breaker.
