OPERATING YOUR WATER HEATER

Before Using

1. Make sure the solar storage tank water heater has

been properly installed. See “Installing Your Water

Heater” section.

2. Completely fill the tank with water. (See Figure 2)

3. After the solar storage tank water heater tank is

completely filled with water, connect electrical power to

the solar storage tank water heater.

4. Read the “Water Temperature Regulation” section of

this manual. If the instructions are not clear, contact a

qualiﬁ ed person.

5. Adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature

setting as described under “Adjusting the Thermostat/

High Limit Control” section.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate this solar storage

tank water heater if the thermostat(s), or surrounding

insulation has been exposed to water in any way.

Immediately call a qualiﬁ ed person to inspect the solar

storage tank water heater and replace any thermostat or

insulation that has been exposed to water.

Do not attempt to repair these parts. Solar storage tank

water heaters subjected to ﬂ ood conditions or any time

the thermostat(s) have been submerged in water require

replacement of the entire solar storage tank water heater.

Safety Shut-off

This solar storage tank water heater is designed

to automatically shut-off in the event that the water

temperature exceeds 170°F or 77°C (190°F or 88°C in

LDCE Models). A high limit control switch is used to shut off

the power to the elements if the water temperature exceeds

170°F or 77°C (190°F or 88°C in LDCE Models). The high

limit control can be reset by ﬁ rmly pushing in the red reset

button located on the thermostat. Follow the instructions

under “Adjusting the Thermostat/High Limit Control”,

section to properly reset the high limit control. If the high

limit control switch continues to shut-off the water heater

contact a qualiﬁ ed person for service.

Water Temperature Regulation

Water temperature over 125°F can cause

severe burns instantly or death from scalds.

Children, disabled and elderly are at highest

risk of being scalded.

Feel water before bathing or showering.

Temperature limiting valves are available.

WARNING

The thermostat is adjusted to a temperature setting

of 120°F or lower when it is shipped from the factory.

Water temperature can be regulated by adjusting

the thermostat to the preferred setting as shown in

“Adjusting the Thermostat /High Limit Control.” The

preferred starting point is 120°F. There is a hot water

scald potential if the thermostat is set too high.

IMPORTANT: Adjusting the thermostat past 120°F on

the thermostat will increase the risk of scald injury in the

times shown below.

(U.S. Government Memorandum, C.P.S.C., Peter L. Armstrong, Sept. 15,1978)

NOTE: During low demand periods when hot water is not

being used, a lower thermostat setting will reduce energy

losses and may satisfy your normal hot water needs.

If hot water use is expected to be more than normal, a

higher thermostat setting may be required to meet the

increased demand.

When leaving your home for extended periods

(vacations, etc.) turn the thermostat to its lowest setting.

This will maintain the water at low temperatures with

minimum energy losses and prevent the tank from

freezing during cold weather.
