Before plugging in the water heater, always make sure:
•
The voltage and frequency correspond to that specified
on the water heater wiring diagram.
•
The electrical outlet has the proper overload fuse or
breaker protection.
•
Fill the tank with water and check all connections for
leaks. Open the nearest hot water faucet and let it run
for 3 minutes to purge the water lines of air and sedi-
ment and to ensure complete filling of the tank. The
electrical power may then be turned on. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
Note
: Always reference the wiring diagram for the correct
electrical connections.
