Never use water heater unless it is completely full of water. To 
prevent damage to the tank and heating element, the tank must be 
fi lled with water.  Water must fl ow from the hot water faucet before 
turning on power.

You must provide all wiring of the proper size outside of the 
water heater. You must obey local codes and electric company 
requirements when you install this wiring.

If you are not familiar with electric codes and practices, or if you have 
any doubt, even the slightest doubt, in your ability to connect the wiring 
to this water heater, obtain the service of a competent electrician. 
Contact a local electrical contractor and/or the local electric utility.

WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE ONLY: This 
water heater is equipped for one type voltage only.  Check the rating 
plate near the bottom access panel for the correct voltage.  DO NOT 
use this water heater with any voltage other than the one shown on 
the model rating plate.  Failure to use the correct voltage can cause 
problems which can result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, 
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. If you have any questions or doubts 
consult your electric company.

If wiring from your fuse box or circuit breaker box was aluminum 
for your old water heater, replace it with copper wire.  If you wish to 
reuse the existing aluminum wire, have the connection at the water 
heater made by a competent electrician.  Contact a local electrical 
contractor and/or the local electric utility.

1.  Provide a way to easily shut off the electric power when working 

on the water heater.  This could be with a circuit breaker or fuse 
block in the entrance box or a separate disconnect switch.

2.  Install and connect a circuit directly from the main fuse or circuit 

breaker box.  This circuit must be the right size and have its own 
fuse or circuit breaker.

3.   If metal conduit is used for the grounding conductor:

 

A.  The grounding electrode conductor shall be of copper,

 

 

aluminum, or copperclad aluminum. The material shall be of

 

 

one continuous length without a splice or joint.

 

B.  Rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, or electrical,  

 

 

metallic tubing may be used for the grounding means if conduit

 

 

or tubing is terminated in fi ttings approved for grounding.

 

C. Flexible  metal  conduit  or  fl exible  metallic  tubing shall be  

 

 

permitted  for  grounding  if  all  the  following  conditions are   

  met:

 

 

• 

The length in any ground return path does not exceed 6 feet.

 

 

• 

The circuit conductors contained therein are protected by

    

 

overcurrent devices rated at 20 amperes or less.

 

 

• 

The conduit or tubing is terminated in fi ttings approved for

    

 

grounding.

For complete grounding details and all allowable exceptions, refer to 
the current edition of the Nation Electrical Code NFPA 70.

4.  A standard 1/2” conduit opening has been made in the water 

heater junction box for the conduit connections.

5.  Use wire nuts and connect the power supply wiring to the wires 

inside the water heater’s junction box.

6.  The water heater must be electrically “grounded” by the installer.  

A green ground screw has been provided on the water heater’s 
junction box.  Connect ground wire to this location.

7.  Replace the wiring junction cover using the screw provided.
