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.

(by a diptube or bottom inlet). If the hot water demand should exceed the solar heat output or there is an insufficient temperature difference between the heating medium and stored water, the heating element thermostat will activate the electrical heating element for backup heat. - Page 6 SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION (cont .) TEmpERATURE CONTROL A solar controller (not provided) shall be used in conjunction with the solar water heater to run all solar components in the heating system. The solar controller will be connected to two thermistors that monitor lower and upper tank temperature. In some cases, only one thermistor (near the bottom of the tank) will be used.
- 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
The entire solar heating system should be located as close as possible to points of hot water use for the fastest delivery of hot water. This water heater may be installed on combustible flooring. -
Page 9: Section Iv: Installation
Temperature of the primary heat source medium (from solar collector or boiler) shall not exceed 200°F. The outlet of the solar collector should be connected to the water heater at the “FROM SOLAR” fitting. The fitting labeled “TO SOLAR” should be connected to the solar return piping. -
