Filling the Water Heater
To fill the water heater with water:
Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to
the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of
the water heater.
Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.
NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open
when the water beater is in use.
To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by
opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run
until a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out of the
water heater and the piping.
I A CAUTION 1

water. To prevent damage to the tank and heating ale- |
ment, the tank must be filled with water. Water must
flow from the hot water faucet before turning "ON" |
power. |
Check all new water piping for leaks. Repairas needed.
