Electrical Connections
All electrical wiring and connections must be in accordance with the National
Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition), or the Canadian Electrical Code
C22.1 (latest edition) and any local codes, which may apply. The water heater
must be electrically grounded.
If a flexible line cord and plug is permitted by local code, then provide a (3) three
wire grounding type receptacle within 6 feet (1.9 m) of the water heater and use
the flexible cord provided. Do not plug the line cord into a receptacle that can
have the power supply interrupted by a switch that is used to turn on and off
lights.
If wiring in conduit is required, remove the flexible line cord from the jacket and
install a 1/2" (1.3 cm) electrical conduit connector and connect a 110/120-volt
power source. Connect the hot, neutral, and ground leads of the electrical supply
to the corresponding locations that were connected to the flexible line cord.
CAUTION
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.
