If this is a new hot water heater, then you need to contact the installers.

If you are reluctant to do that, then I would pull the anode rod- found of the top of the tank- and see if they might have slipped the old one in it. Clean it off. Maybe drain the tank. If this doesn't work, go back to paragraph one.
