Wiring

If local codes permit, the water heater
may be connected to electric service with
the power cord provided (DO NOT use an
extension cord). A grounding receptacle is
required.

If local codes do not permit the use of
cord connections, a 120 V, 50/60 Hz
power supply, with suitable disconnecting
means, must be connected to the black
and white leads in the heater control
enclosure.

A knock-out hole is provided to permit use
of conduit or metal-clad cable connectors.

The maximum current draw is
approximately 5.0 amps.

The water heater must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes,
or, in the absence of local codes, in
accordance with latest edition of the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
Refer to pictorial below for water heater
internal wiring.

NOTE: It is not recommended that this
unit be installed on a GFCI circuit.

CAUTION! Label all wires prior to disconnection

when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.

VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING!
