Starting up

4.6.1

Checking for leaks and purging air

B Verify all circuit breakers supplying power to the
water heater are turned off.
B Open all hot water taps supplied by the water heater
and inspect all water connections for leaks.
B With all hot water taps still open, inspect each tap to
ensure all air in the lines has been purged out.
B With the air purged and taps still flowing, turn on all
circuit breakers supplying the water heater.
B Close all hot water taps and proceed to the next
section.

For example:
• For the AE115 unit, using the outlet ball valve, ensure
the flow rate does not exceed 2.3 gallons/minute.
• For the AE125 unit, using the outlet ball valve, ensure
the flow rate does not exceed 3.5 gallons/minute.
These figures are based on an inlet water temperature of
55 °F and a supply voltage of 240 volts. If the inlet water
temperature is lower than 55 °F, or if the supply voltage
is less than 240 volts, then the outlet temperature will be
lower than what is shown in Fig. 11. If a higher outlet
water temperature is desired, then reduce the flow rate
and/or supply the unit with 240 volts.

Adjusting the temperature dial

B The temperature adjustment is made using the dial on
the bottom edge of the unit. The adjustment is
between approximately 95 °F and 131 °F. Turning the
dial clockwise increases the temperature setting as
indicated by the marking on the unit.
4.6.3

Adjusting the flow

B Open fully both inlet and outlet shut-off valves at the
heater, then:
B Turn on fully the highest flowing hot water faucet
(e.g., bathtub) served by the water heater.
B Adjust the outlet shut-off valve until the water flow
rate from the hot faucet corresponds to the value
given in Fig. 11 below.

Before leaving the site, the installer should
demonstrate the unit to the user and give
