ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
To be certain that all of the air is out of the water heater, open the HOT
water faucet on your fixtures until constant water flows from them. If air
remains in the tank, the element will be damaged when the electric cord
is plugged in.
Connect the water heater to a GROUNDED OUTLET.
The water heater is fitted with a power cord that is intended to
plug into a grounded 110-120 V/AC receptacle. Adhere to all
pertinent State and local codes. Install the correct size circuit
breaker into the master panel. The WaiWela WM water heater
was manufactured and wired in accordance with UL require-
ments.
The water heater is equipped with an overheat limiting device
with a manual reset. Also known as the temperature high limit,
this device has been factory installed to interrupt the power sup-
ply in the event of a thermostat failure.
This water heater is designed for ONLY 110-120V electrical
service!!!!! DO NOT CONNECT TO HIGHER OR LOWER VOLTAGE.
Failure to use proper voltage may result in personal injury and/or prop
-
erty damage. If the supplied electrical power cord is either damaged or
not long enough, do NOT use an extension cord. Have a licensed electri-
cian replace the power cord.
