SECTION IX: ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Turn off or disconnect the electrical power supply to the water heater before servicing. Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
All electrical wiring must be installed and grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or CSA C22.2 Electrical Code.
The water heater must be wired to a 115 volt, 60
Hz, AC power supply. The water heater should be
wired on a separate circuit and breaker. If a
flexible line cord and plug is permitted by local
code, then provide a three wire grounding type
receptacle within reach of the line cord provided on
the control box. Do not plug the line cord into a
receptacle that can have the power supply
interrupted by a switch that is used to control lights
or another appliance.
If wiring in conduit is required, cut the line cord
close to the control board and make the
appropriate wiring connections.
CAUTION
This water heater must be wired on a separate
circuit. Failure to wire on a separate circuit may
cause improper operation or failure of the
electrical components of the water heater.
Refer to the “Electrical Connections” section of
the Installation and Operating Instructions
Manual for complete instructions on electrical
wiring and connections to the water heater.
Do not energize the electric circuit before the
water heater tank is filled with water.
