Product Features
Thermostat:
The liquid-expansion thermostat senses water
temperature fast, reliable and accurate. Water temperature
can be adjusted by the external knob conveniently and
fast (See figure II).
Figure II
High Limit:
The high limit rapidly cuts off live line and zero line simultaneously to guarantee safety in case the
water heater happens to be faulty and water temperature exceeds the highest temperature pre-set in the
thermostat.
Safety Valve:
This appliance has a pressure relief valve (see Figure I). It must be installed in the inlet piping
(blue). It has been factory set at 0.8 MPa and is not adjustable. This valve relieves and discharges when
the actual pressure in the piping exceeds this set rate. The discharge outlet of this valve must face downward,
and the discharged water must be piped into or within 15cm above a suitable drain. Under any circumstances,
the drain line cannot be blocked, and must be open to atmosphere. Please refer to Figure VII for water
installation.
Safety Features
Enamel Coating Tank:
With the advanced anticorrosive technique, A. O. Smith Company evenly coats special silicon frit
onto the tank inner surface and fuse the frit coating to the steel at a high temperature of 870°C, forming a
durable enamel coated tank. It can endure huge impact without breaking off and completely isolate the
water inside the tank from the tank surface. It has passed the 100,000 times cycle test per UL (Underwriters'
Laboratories) standard and proved to be one of the most durable water heater tanks due to its antirust and
antiscale features.

High-efficient Energy-saving Insulation Layer:
This extra-thick CFC-free polyurethane insulation layer keeps temperature well and reduces heat
loss maximally.
Anode Rod Protection:
This strong anode rod with stainless-core protects the tank to be durable and greatly prolongs the life
of water heater.
Warning: Hot water exceeding 50°C can produce scalding injury. Care should be taken when
the temperature is set over 50°C for the safety of your family and children in particular.
Installation Instruction
Installation:
Locate the heater near electric power socket, floor drain and point of water use. Be sure the inlet
and outlet of the heater are on the bottom and facing downward. Don't permit to install it vertically!
Warning: Be sure to install the water heater with the provided mounting brackets. The heater can be
hung up only after the mounting brackets are solidly mounted and double check. Serious damage
and harm can result if the heater falls off from the wall.
Make sure that the wall can withstand double weight of fully filled water heater.
To locate the fixing bolts, make sure that there is a clearance of no less than 300mm between the right
side of the heater and the wall in order to facilitate opening up the plastic service cover for maintenance
or resetting the high limit when necessary. In case the water heater is embedded in the ceiling, the
right side ceiling of the heater should be removable so as to remove the plastic service cover for
maintenance when necessary.
Use 10mm drill to drill 2 holes of at least 90mm depth in wall. The 2 holes should be in line horizontally.
See Figure III for distance specification.

The nylon expansion tube must be put through the hole of the hanger first, before inserted
into the drilled hole.
Must use the special hex wrench to drive the bolt into the nylon expansion tube. Don't
permit to use other tools. Once the bolt head pressing the hanger plate and making the
hanger unmovable by itself, stop further tightening to prevent damaging the nylon tube.

Hang up the water heater by placing the 2 square holes of mounting bracket into the hanger hooks on
the wall. Move the water heater downward to ensure that the square holes are fastened to the root of the
hanger hooks and confirm water heater is fixed steadily. See Figure V for details.
