Wiring
If local codes permit, the water heater may
be connected to electric service with the
power cord provided ( DO NOT use an
extension cord). A grounding receptacle is
required.
If local codes do not permit the use of cord
connections, a 120 V, 50/60 Hz power
supply, with suitable disconnecting means,
must be connected to the black and white
leads in the heater control enclosure.
A knock-out hole is provided to permit use
of conduit or metal-clad cable connectors.
The maximum current draw is
approximately 5.0 amps.
The water heater must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local
codes, or, in the absence of local codes,
in accordance with latest edition of the
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.
Refer to Figure below for water heater
internal wiring.
NOTE: It is not recommended that this
unit be installed on a GFCI circuit.
CAUTION! Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING!
