Drain all the water from the tank, via the sillcock at the bottom of the unit. Turn off the gas/electric supply and tape a note to the heater.
The note is to remind whomever that the tank has been drained. They, hopefully, will have the sense to refill the unit BEFORE turning it on again. Failure to do so WILL burn out the heater and render the hot water unless.
You may also give consideration to drain the entire house of water. This will ensure that lines don't freeze and split. This can be accomplished by open the lowest faucet in the house. If you have a basement, open valve on wash tub. Then open highest valve, I'd used the tub/shower fixture. And last, be not least, flush toilet(s).
That will tak care of all your concerns.

Number one it is a water heater. It is not necessary to heat hot water. Turn off the water supply, if gad turn of the gas supply. If electric turn of the power. Drain the unit using the drain valve near the bottom, remember to open a hot water valve in the house farthest from the unit. This is to prevent any pipe from freezing and bursting inside of the house.

Turn off the gas or electric, but you need to drain the water or it can freeze then you'll have a real problem to deal with.

i could do no longer something to attempt and cease/ward off the water leak. As others have reported, that is too early for the heater to have issues like a leak. it continues to be below guarantee. call and have somebody from the region of purchase restoration the subject. be conscious: something you do in earnest could actually reason the guaranty to grow to be null and void. take a seat tight and have them stand by their product and attach the leak. as quickly as you touch them and clarify that is leaking, they could desire to reach positioned up haste, in any different case, they could additionally be responsible for water injury. Have a competent grant of towels reachable until they arrive. good success

Turn off the power or gas supply and drain it. Open one hot water tap so it will drain easily.

All the above answers are correct--drain it and then leave values open so that there will not be any water to freeze and it will help keep it cleaner...
