TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 
To adjust the temperature setting:
1. Turn “OFF” the electrical power to the water heater, at 
the junction box.
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!  Failure to turn 
“OFF” electric power to the solar water heater will result 
in the possibility of DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY 
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
2.  Take off the access panel and fold away the insulation.
3.  Turn the water temperature dial clockwise ( 
 ) to 
increase the temperature, or counterclockwise ( 
 ) to 
decrease the temperature.
4.  Fold the insulation back in place and replace the access 
panel.
5. Turn “ON” the power supply.

A non-adjustable high temperature limit control operates 
before steam temperatures are reached.  The high limit is 
in the same area as the upper thermostat and must be reset 
manually when it activates.  BECAUSE THE HIGH LIMIT 
ACTIVATES ONLY WHEN ABNORMALLY HIGH WATER 
TEMPERATURES ARE PRESENT, IT IS IMPORTANT 
THAT A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENT BE CONTACTED 
TO DETERMINE THE REASON FOR OPERATION 
BEFORE RESETTING.
TANK SENSOR 
The surface mount tank sensor should be attached to the 
sensor stud behind the lower door by placing the hole in the 
sensor over the stud provided and securing in place with a 
nut.  The end of the tank sensor shall be connected to the 
red wires in the opening with wire nuts (with no regard for 
polarity).  The other ends of the red temperature sensor 
extension extend from the top of the tank and shall be 
connected to the controller in the tank sensor position.
DRAINING 
It is recommended that the storage tank be drained and 
fl ushed every 6 months to remove sediment which may 
build up during operation. The water heater should be 
drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures. 
To drain the tank, perform the following steps:
Turn off power to the water heater.
1. 
Open a nearby hot water faucet until the water is no 
2. 
longer hot. 
Close the cold water inlet valve.
3. 
Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate it to 
4. 
an adequate drain or external to the building.
Open the water heater drain valve and allow all of 
5. 
the water to drain from the tank. Flush the tank with 
water as needed to remove sediment.
Close the drain valve, refi ll the tank, and restart the 
6. 
heater as directed in this manual.
If the water heater is going to be shut down for an ex-
tended period, the drain valve should be left open.
IMPORTANT: Condensation may occur when refi lling the 
tank and should not be confused with a tank leak.
If the solar water heater is to be shut off and exposed to 
freezing temperatures, it must be drained. Water, if left in 
the tank and allowed to freeze, will expand and damage 
the solar water heater.
1.  Turn “OFF” the electrical supply to the solar water 
heater.
