A separate branch circuit with copper
conductors, overcurrent protective
device and suitable disconnecting
means must be provided by a qualified
electrician.
All wiring must conform to local
codes or latest edition of National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
The water heater is completely wired
to the junction box inside jacket at
the top front of the water heater. An
opening for 1/2
in. or 3/4 in. electrical
fitting is provided for field wiring
connections.
The voltage requirements and wattage
load for the water heater are specified
on the rating plate on the front of the
water heater.
The branch circuit wiring should
include either:
Metallic conduit or metallic
sheathed cable approved for use
as a grounding conductor and
installed with fittings approved
for the purpose.
Non-metallic sheathed cable,
metallic conduit or metallic
sheathed cable not approved for
use as a ground conductor shall
include a separate conductor for
grounding. It should be attached
to the ground terminals of the
water heater and the electrical
distribution box.
CAUTION: The presence of water
in the piping and water heater does
not provide sufficient conduction for a
ground. Non-metallic piping, dielectric
unions, flexible connectors etc. can
cause the water heater to be electrically
isolated.
Insulation blankets, available to the
general public, for external use on electric
water heaters are not necessary. The
purpose of an insulation blanket is to
reduce the standby heat loss encountered
with storage tank heaters. This water
heater meets or exceeds the National
Appliance Energy Conservation Act
standards with respect to insulation and
standby loss requirements making an
insulation blanket unnecessary.
The manufacturer’s warranty does not
cover any damage or defect caused by
installation, attachment or use of
any type of energy saving or other
unapproved devices (other than those
authorized by the manufacturer) into, onto
or in conjunction with the water heater.
The use of unauthorized energy saving
devices may shorten the life of the water
heater and may endanger life and property.
The manufacturer disclaims any
responsibility for such loss or injury
resulting from the use of such
unauthorized devices.
!
CAUTION: If local codes require the
application of an external insulation
blanket to this water heater, pay careful
attention to the following so as not to
restrict the proper function and
operation of the water heater:
DO NOT
cover the operating or
warning labels attached to the water
heater or attempt to relocate them on
the exterior of insulation blanket.
DO NOT
cover air openings on both
sides of the water heater .
DO NOT
cover the Controller
Assembly, temperature and pressure
relief valve or drain valve.
Inspect the insulation blanket frequently.
!
WARNING: If local codes
require external application of
insulation blanket kits the
manufacturer’s instructions
included with the kit must be
carefully followed.
