Hazardous voltage:
Before wiring, servicing or cleaning
the heating system, turn off the power and follow your
organization’s lockout and tagout procedure. Failure
to do so could allow others to turn on the power
unexpectedly, resulting in harmful or fatal electrical
shock.
At least once per year, clean the interior of the heating
tank and the heating element with a wire brush and/or
damp cloth. Periodically check the sediment build-up
around the element loops. Any scaling or build-up will
shorten element life.
To replace the heating element or perform routine
maintenance, use the following procedures.
