WARNING
Turn off or disconnect the electrical power supply to the water heater before servicing. Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
All electrical wiring must be installed and grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or CSA C22.2 Electrical Code.
The water heater must be wired to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A power supply. The water heater must be wired on a separate
circuit and breaker. If a flexible line cord and plug is permitted by local code, then provide a three wire grounding type
receptacle within reach of the line cord provided on the control box. Do not plug the line cord into a receptacle that can
have the power supply interrupted by a switch that is used to control lights or another appliance.
If wiring in conduit is required, cut the line cord close to the control board and make the appropriate wiring connections.
Install an electrical conduit connector on the outside jacket of the water heater. Refer to the wiring diagram for the correct
connections to each wire lead.
CAUTION
This water heater must be wired on a separate circuit. Failure to wire on a separate circuit may cause
improper operation or failure of the electrical components of the water heater. Refer to the “Electrical
Connections” section of the Installation and Operation Manual for complete instructions on electrical wiring and
connections to the water heater.
Do not energize the electric circuit before the water heater tank is filled with water.
This control is polarity sensitive. If the hot and neutral supply voltage is reversed, the control will not sense
flame and the water heater will not operate. Verify polarity before connecting the water heater.
