Key Features
Note: A. O. Smith reserves the right to amend or modify the specifications and features at any
time, as and when required without any prior notification.
Thermal Cutout
If the water temperature exceeds the highest preset level, the thermal cut-out
cuts off the power supply to assure safety.
Temperature Control Knob
The temperature control knob allows you to set the temperature anywhere
between 25ºC to 75ºC.
Blue Diamond®Glass Lining
Blue Diamond®technology increases the life of the inner tank. The lining is
stronger and more corrosion resistant than any other in the industry.
Multi-function Safety Valve
The Multi-function safety valve is designed to automatically relieve pressure and
discharge water in case the pressure overshoots the preset limits.
Glass Coated Heating Element
Scale and sediment build-up on the surface of the element can lead to prema-
ture failure. A. O. Smith Glass Coating helps to prevent scale formation and
extends the life of the heating element.
Anode Rod
The tank has an anode rod which has stainless steel core that is designed to
protect the tank from corrosive elements. The anode rod uses a special cathodic
action to fight these elements and thus prolong the life of the water heater.

Do not install the water heater where there is
direct sunlight or rain. It is has to be installed
indoor only.

WARNING
Hot water is dangerous, especially for children, aged or the disabled. The

Note: The Multi-function Safety valve may drip during the usage of the heater. As the water
is heated, it expands and tries to flowback through the inlet pipe but is prevented by
the presence of the non-return valve. Hence water may drip from the Multi-function
Safety valve. Therefore a Discharge tube is given from the valve tip to a nearby drain.
To avoid dripping, it is recommended to install non-return valve at a distance of
atleast 40 feet away from the inlet of the water heater.
