Filling The Heater; Part 4 - Electrical Connection - HTP Everlast 2.5 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

EN
An ASSE 1017 or ASSE 1070 temperature limiting or mixing valve is recommended in installations servicing
disabled or elderly persons, or children. Mixing valves do not eliminate the risk of scalding.
To avoid scalding:
• Set the water heater set point temperature as low as possible.
• Feel water before bathing or showering.
• If thermostatic valves are required, use devices specifi cally designed for such purpose. Install these devices
in accordance with instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Failure to install a temperature limiting or mixing valve and follow these instructions could result in property
damage, severe personal injury, or death due to scalds.
G. Filling the Heater
• Make certain any drain valves in the system are completely closed.
• Open the shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
• Open the hot water faucets to allow air to vent from the heater and piping.
• Allow suffi cient time for the heater to completely fi ll with water.
• Check for leaks.
When fi lling the water heater, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank and piping. The tank must be full of
water before the heater is turned on. Failure to ensure the water heater is full before turning it on could result
in damage to the water heater and other property damages. Such damages ARE NOT covered by water heater
warranty.

Part 4 - Electrical Connection

Tank must be full of water before the power is turned on. The heating element will be damaged if energized for
even a short time while tank is dry. Failures due to "dry-fi ring" ARE NOT covered by warranty.
The voltage requirement and dedicated wattage load for the heater is specifi ed on the water heater rating label.
Consult your local power company to determine if your electrical service is adequate for the additional load of
the heater.
The 8 Model must be hard wired. The 8 Model needs to be wired with 12 GA wire to a 20 amp branch circuit. All
wiring must conform to local code and the National Electric Code, and should be done by a qualifi ed licensed
electrician or the local electric utility. See Figure 4, A and B.
• Unscrew the junction box cover and remove it.
• Insert 12 AWG wire through the conduit into the junction box and secure with conduit strain relief (not
supplied).
• Connect the wires and screw on the cover of the junction box.
• Make appropriate wiring connections to the water heater per the National Electric Code.
• The unit must be grounded with supplied grounding cable inside the junction box.
• Secure the junction box cover once wiring connections have been made.
When the 8 Model is not within sight of the electrical circuit breakers, a circuit breaker lockout or additional local
means of disconnection for all non-grounded conductors must be provided that is within sight of the appliance
(Ref. NEC 422.31).
Be sure to ground the water heater. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
