Starting up the PowerStar
Checking for leaks and purging air
•
Verify all circuit breakers supplying power to the water heater are turned off.
•
Open all hot water taps supplied by the water heater and inspect all water connections for leaks.
•
With all hot water taps still open, inspect each tap to ensure all air in the lines has been purged out.
•
With the air purged and taps still flowing, turn on all circuit breakers supplying the water heater.
•
Close all hot water taps and proceed to the next section.
Adjusting the temperature dial

The temperature adjustment is made using the dial on the bottom edge of the unit. The adjustment
is between approximately 95°F and 135°F. Turning the dial clockwise increases the temperature
setting as indicated by the marking on the unit.
Adjusting the flow

Open fully both inlet and outlet shut-off valves at the heater, then :
•
Turn on fully the highest flowing hot water faucet (e.g., bathtub) served by the water heater.
•
Adjust the outlet shut-off valve until the water flow rate from the hot faucet corresponds to the value
given in Graph 1 below.
