Electrical Connections
Before plugging in the water heater, always make sure:
•
The Voltage and frequency correspond to that specified
on the water heater.
• The electrical outlet has the proper overload fuse or
breaker protection.
• Unit is to connect to a 120VAC electrical supply outlet
(extension cord is not allowed).
IMPORTANT: Do not use an extension cord to connect the
water heater to an electrical outlet.
•
The water heater and the outlet are properly grounded.
• Installed in accordance with prevailing provisions of
local codes, or in the absence of such, National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPS 70 current edition.
Completely fill the tank with water and check all con-
nections for leaks. Open the nearest hot water faucet and
let it run for three (3) minutes to purge the water lines of
air and sediment and to ensure complete filling of the tank.
The Electrical power may then be turned on. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
WARNING

Also see Water System Piping for additional instructions on
the safe and correct installation and operation of this water
heater.
Solar Installation
If this water heater is used as a solar storage heater
or as a backup for the solar system, the water supply
temperatures to the water heater tank may be in excess of
120°F. A mixing valve or other temperature limiting valve
must be installed in the water supply line to limit the supply
temperature to 120°F.
NOTE: Solar water heating systems can often supply
water with temperatures exceeding 180°F and may result
in water heater malfunction.
