02 TM 2.6 Gallons Water Heater - User Manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
A SAFETY VALVE MUST BE USED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION!
As this water heater has a hot water reservoir, natural expansion of the contents will occur. A safety valve
must be used for installation in case there is too much expansion, which would result in damage to the unit
or personal injury. Safety valves allow for excess pressure relief, directing it harmlessly into your drain
system instead of allowing it to dangerously build up inside of your water heater.
Safety valves are available at most specialty plumbing supply shops.
FROST
This is the equivalent of “vacation mode”. Leave the power supply on and set the thermostat knob to. *
When set to this position, the device maintains the water temperature at approximately 45°F /7°C to keep it
above freezing without expending much energy. If the device is to be disconnected from the power supply, it
must be emptied completely in order to avoid the risk of damage caused by freezing.
DO NOT remove the heater cover or open the unit without first turning off the power at the breaker panel.
This could cause death or injury.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION*
DO NOT install heater in a location where there is a potential for freezing.
BEFORE you connect the device to the electrical supply the device must be filled with water.
* For full installation see pages 3 and 4.
WARRANTY CONDITIONS INFORMATION*
The warranty shall be valid for 24 months, commence on the day on which the product is purchased.
* For full warranty conditions see page 7.
Attempted repairs carried out by the customer or third party that are not authorized by SUMEC shall invalidate the
warranty.

INSTALLATION – ELECTRICAL
Refer to Installation Diagram on page 2 for required hardware and General assembly. Any other installation
position may result in serious damage to the appliance. Installation should take place as close as possible
to a cold water connection. The product should be protected from the effects of frost (For example if
installed in RVs or summer homes)
Note: When tightening swivels and compression connections always use 2 open end wrenches in order to
prevent bending and twisting pipes and accessories.
After installing unit in accordance with step 1 above, fill the unit with water prior to connecting to a power
supply.
Connect device to electricity by inserting plug into an available wall socket. The device must be directly
connected to an outlet power supply of 120V via an electrical cable or plug.
Note: Connection of the device to the power supply must be made in accordance with the NEC and as
specified by local laws and regulations.
When powering up for the first time, please verify that the temperature indicator light turns off when the set
temperature is reached (see operating instructions on page 4 for setting the temperature).
Note: The device is completely filled if water flows out of the hot water tap. The device will only switch on
again if the temperatures falls below the temperature setting.
Note: When filling for the first time, the hot water handle on the faucet must be open so that water can flow
into the device. If the device is not filled with water during installation, the automatic safety device will
activate and switch off the device.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Note: In the event of the unit shutting down due to being connected to a power source prior to being filled
with water perform the following steps:
Unplug the unit and let the unit cool down for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Fill the unit with water after the cool down period.
Press the ‘RESET’ button at the back of the unit.
Note: White substance in water means there is too much scale deposit in tank. This requires the unit being
disassembled and drained.
Note: Grey or brown substance in water indicates the internal magnesium anode has dissolved (see
Maintenance section for more info)
Thermostat
Thermostat (Operating Setting)
Note: Use above table to keep unit at desired temperature levels
Cold; heater is switched off.
Automatic frost protection active; the device switches on if the water temperature falls
below 45oF / 7oC.
Water temperature has risen by approx. 77oF / 25oC.
Water temperature is +/-165oF (+/-75oC).
Energy-saver mode/reduced energy consumption:
Greater energy savings are possible if the water temperature is set to a maximum of +/-131oF
(+/-55oC). This also reduces the risk of damage to the device.

2.6 Gallons Water Heater - User Manual TM

This device does not require any maintenance by the user. Repairs should always be carried out by a
licensed contractor.
A service inspection should be performed every year. Descaling of the device during this inspection is highly
recommended, especially if you live in an area with hard water. Higher termperature water will intensify
calcification. It is therefore recommended to set the device at a maximum of 131°F in areas with extremely
hard water.
Clean the unit housing with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives.
After extended vacation or non-use device should be run at maximum temperature (tap at minimum flow)
before reusing. Pipes should be flushed for one minute.
The magnesium anode protects the tank against corrosion. This is a cathodic process, during which the
anode slowly dissolves. The anode should therefore be inspected and replaced if necessary , by a licensed
plumber every two years.
Check the drain for blockages. If blocked, unblock the drain or call a licensed contractor.
