ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP

WARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! BEFORE BEGINNING ANY  WORK ON THE
INSTALLATION, MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE HEATER IS TURNED
“OFF”. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,

OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.  

WARNING

WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE ONLY: CHECK THE RATING PLATE 
ON THE FRONT OF THE UNIT. DO NOT USE THIS WATER HEATER WITH ANY VOLTAGE
OTHER THAN THE ONE SHOWN ON THE MODEL RATING PLATE. FAILURE TO DO SO 
CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DOUBTS CONSULT YOUR ELECTRIC COMPANY.

This heater must have its own independent circuit using four wires; three live and one ground,

of the appropriate rating protected by the correctly rated three pole breaker

WARNING

FAILURE TO GROUND THE SYSTEM MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY

IMPORTANT  

BEFORE SWITCHING “ON” THE POWER AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL MAKE
SURE THAT THE HOT WATER CIRCUIT IS FREE OF AIR POCKETS OR PREMATURE

FAILURE OF THE ELEMENT WILL OCCUR. TO DO THIS OPEN ALL HOT WATER OUTLETS
ONE AT A TIME FOR A MINUTE OR TWO UNTIL THE WATER FLOW IS CONTINUOUS AND
FREE FROM “GULPING” AND FROM VISIBLE AIR POCKETS.
