Remote Control Installation
One (1) remote control is provided with the
water heater. Additional remote controls may
be purchased separately. Up to three (3) remote
controls can be used with this water heater.
The following are considerations for
determining the location of the remote
control(s):
DO NOT
install any remote control
outdoors or in areas where it can come in
contact with water.
Place remote control out of children’s reach.
The remote control can be installed in
convenient locations such as the kitchen,
laundry room, utility room, or directly beside
the indoor water heater.
Avoid areas where the remote control may
be exposed to heat, e.g. ranges or heaters.
Avoid areas where the remote control
may be subjected to oil and/or steam
from cooking.
Avoid areas where chemical agents (such
as thinner, benzine and alkalines) are used.
Avoid areas of direct sunlight.
The MAXIMUM distance between the
water heater and the remote control
installation location is limited to 195 feet
(59 m) of wire.
NOTICE: Only one of each type of remote
controls can connect to the water heater.
Therefore, a maximum of three controls
can connect to the water heater.
No other manufacturer’s controls are
suitable for use with this water heater.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the
remote control.
WARNING: Field wiring connections and electrical grounding must comply with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or
