Connect the cold water inlet pipe to the inlet nipple (marked with a blue ring) and the hot water outlet pipe to the outlet nipple (marked with a red ring). To reduce the risk of excessive pressures and temperatures in this water heater, install the supplied temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21. 22. Always turn off the power supply to the heater prior to servicing or draining the heater. Periodic maintenance Note: For most of these operations, the water will have to be drained from the heater. For all of these operations the power supply needs to be shut off and the front cover removed.
