2. Remove the two screws securing the access panel and
remove panel.

NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
1. In a new installation, the water heater may not be prop-
erly connected. Make sure the cold water supply valve
is open. Review and check piping installation. Make
sure that the cold water line is connected to the cold
water inlet to the water heater and the hot water line to
the hot water outlet on the water heater.
2. Make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is
“ON”.
3. Check for loose or blown fuses in your water heater cir-
cuit. Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not
handle their rated load and should be replaced.
4. Make certain the disconnect switch, if used, is in the
“ON” position.
5. Check to see the electric service to your house has not
been interrupted. If this is the case, contact the local
electric utility.
6. Are the thermostats set to the desired temperature? See
“Temperature Regulation” section.
7. If you had experienced very hot water and now no hot
water, the problem may be due to the high tempera-
ture shut off system. See “High Temperature Shut Off
System” in the “Operational Conditions” section.
8. During very cold weather, the incoming water will also
be colder and it will require a longer time to become
heated.
9. The hot water usage may exceed the capacity of the
water heater. If so, wait for water heater to recover
after abnormal demand. Also examine pipes and
faucet’s for possible water leaks.
10. If you cannot determine the problem, then call a local
serviceman.
WATER IS TOO HOT
Adjust the thermostat to a lower setting. See the
“Temperature Regulation” section.

BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
CAUTION
If the high limit must be reset again, call a serviceman
to find out why the high limit turned “OFF” the electric
power.
