Whirlpool®
residential electric water heaters are built to provide hot water
for many years of trouble-free service, with a wealth of standard
features to ensure optimal effi ciency and safe operation.
Features and Benefits
Convenient operation: combination thermostat
with high limit control allows adjustment of water temperature and
automatic operation, while providing overheat protection for your
family's safety.
Dual Heating Elements: 4500W, 240VAC copper
elements provide quick recovery and high efficiency. Premium 9-year
models have a long-lasting stainless steel lower element to further
enhance efficiency.
Efficiency: the tank is surrounded by a thick
coat of environmentally friendly non-CFC polyurethane foam to trap
heat inside the tank, saving energy. A PEX polymer dip tube carries
cold inlet water deep into the tank to minimize temperature
dilution of hot water.
Self-Cleaning Dip Tube: 9-year warranted models
include a self-cleaning dip tube to help avoid sediment in the
tank, ensuring long tank life and optimal efficiency.
Ease of installation: top-mounted, built-in
electric junction box ready for 1/2" or 3/4" conduit ensures
convenient installation.
Durability: tanks are ceramic lined and have a
top-mounted heavy-duty anode rod to fight the corrosive effects of
hot water, for long tank life.
Certification: meets UL 174 code requirements,
as well as efficiency standards found in the latest edition of the
National Appliance Energy Conservation Act and U.S. Department of
Energy thermal efficiency and standby loss requirements.
