MAINTENANCE 
 
 
Shut off the electric power whenever the water supply to the water heater is 
off. Shut off the electric power and water supply, drain the water heater 
completely to prevent freezing whenever the building is left unoccupied 
during the cold weather months.  In order to insure efficient operation and 
long tank life, drain the water heater at least once a month through the drain 
valve until the water runs clear.  Failure to do this may result in noisy 
operation and lime and sediment buildup in the bottom of the tank.  Check 
the temperature-pressure relief valve to insure that the valve has not 
become encrusted with lime.  Lift the lever at the top of the valve several 
times until the valve seats properly without leaking and operates freely. 
 
 
The following maintenance should be performed by a qualified service 
technician at the minimum periodic intervals suggested below.  In some 
installations, the maintenance interval may be more frequent depending on 
the amount of use and the operating conditions of the water heater. Regular 
inspection and maintenance of the water heater will help to insure safe and 
reliable operation. 
 
1. Annually, check the operation of the thermostat(s). 
 
2. Bi-annually, check the seal around the heating elements for leaks.  If there 
is any sign of leaking, disconnect the power supply to the water heater 
and contact the plumbing professional that installed this water heater or a 
qualified service technician. 
 
 
 
 
IMPORTANT
 
The water heater should be inspected at a minimum of annually by a 
qualified service technician for damaged components.  DO NOT operate 
this water heater if any part is found damaged. 
WARNING
 
When lifting lever of temperature-pressure relief valve, hot water will be 
released under pressure.  Be certain that any released water does not 
result in bodily injury or property damage.  The magnesium anode rod 
should be inspected periodically and replaced when necessary to prolong 
tank life.
