WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE ONLY: 
This water heater is equipped for one type voltage only. 
Check the rating plate near the bottom access panel for 
the correct voltage. DO NOT use this water heater with 
any voltage other than the one shown on the model rating 
plate. Failure to use the correct voltage can cause problems 
which can result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR 
PROPERTY DAMAGE. If you have any questions or doubts 
consult your electric company.
If wiring from your fuse box or circuit breaker box was 
aluminum for your old water heater, replace it with copper 
wire. If you wish to reuse the existing aluminum wire, have 
the connection at the water heater made by a competent 
electrician. Contact your Sears salesperson to arrange for 
a professional electrician.      

1.  Provide a way to easily shut off the electric power when 

working on the water heater. This could be with a circuit 
breaker or fuse block in the entrance box or a separate 
disconnect switch.

2.  Install and connect a circuit directly from the main fuse or 

circuit breaker box. This circuit must be the right size and 
have its own fuse or circuit breaker. Refer to the chart in 
the “Product Specifications” section for the correct size 
wire and fuse or circuit breaker.

3.  If metal conduit is used for the grounding conductor:

A.  The grounding electrode conductor shall be of copper,

aluminum, or copperclad aluminum. The material shall 
be of one continuous length without a splice or joint.

B.  Rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, or  

electrical metallic tubing may be used for the grounding  
means if conduit or tubing is terminated in fittings 
approved for grounding.

C.  Flexible metal conduit or flexible metallic tubing shall 

be permitted for grounding if all the following conditions 
are met:

• The length in any ground return path does not 

exceed 6 feet.

•  The circuit conductors contained therein are protected 

by overcurrent devices rated at 20 amperes or less.

• The conduit or tubing is terminated in fittings 

approved for grounding.

For complete grounding details and all allowable exceptions, 
refer to the current edition of the NEC - National Electrical 
Code NFPA 70.
4.  A standard 1/2” conduit opening has been made in the 

water heater junction box for the conduit connection.

5.  Use wire nuts and connect the power supply wiring to the 

wires inside the water heater’s junction box.

6.  The water heater must be electrically “grounded” by the 

installer. A green ground screw has been provided on the water 
heater’s junction box. Connect ground wire to this location.

7.  Replace the wiring junction cover using the screw provided.
