PREPARING FOR THE INSTALLATION

1. 

Read  the  “General  Safety  Information”  section  of  this 

manual first and then the entire manual carefully. If you don’t 

follow the safety rules, the water heater may not operate 

safely. It could cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY 

AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

This manual contains instructions for the installation, 

operation, and maintenance of the electric water heater. 

It also contains warnings throughout the manual that you 

must read and be aware of. All warnings and all instructions 

are essential to the proper operation of the water heater 

and your safety. READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE 

ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OR OPERATE THE WATER 

HEATER.
Detailed installation diagrams are in this manual. These 

diagrams will serve to provide the installer with a reference 

for the materials and method of piping suggested. 

IT  IS  NECESSARY  THAT  ALL  WATER  PIPING  AND 

THE  ELECTRICAL  WIRING  BE  INSTALLED  AND 

CONNECTED AS SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAMS.

Particular attention should be given to the installation of 

thermometers at the locations indicated in the diagrams 

as these are necessary for checking the operation of the 

heater.

Be sure to turn off power when working on or near the 

electrical system of the heater. Never touch electrical 

components  with  wet  hands  or  when  standing  in 

water. 

When replacing fuses always use the correct size 

for the circuit. see page 13.

The  principal  components  of  the  heater  are  identified 

on pages 7 & 8. The model and rating plate on page 6 

interprets certain markings into useful information. Both of 

these references should be used to identify the heater, its 

components and optional equipment.

2.  The installation must conform with these instructions 

and the local code authority having jurisdiction and the 

requirements of the power company. In the absence of local 

codes, the installation must comply with the current editions 

of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or the Canadian 

Electrical Code CSA C22.1. The National Electrical Code 

may be ordered from: National Fire Protection Association, 

1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. The Canadian 

Electrical Code is available from the Canadian Standards 

Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, 

OH 44131.

3.  If after reading this manual you have any questions or do 

not understand any portion of the instructions, call the toll 

free number listed on the back cover of this manual for 

technical assistance. 

A sample rating plate is shown on page 6 of this manual. 

In order to expedite your request, please have full model 

and serial number available for the technician.

4.  Carefully plan your intended placement of the water heater.  

Examine the location to ensure the water heater complies 

with the “Locating the New Water Heater” section in this 

manual.

Installation and service of this water heater requires ability 

equivalent  to  that  of  a  licensed  tradesman  or  qualified 

agency  (page  2)  in  the  field  involved.  Plumbing  and 

electrical work are required.
