Electrical Connections
Before any electrical connections are made, be sure that the water
heater is full of water and that the manual shut-off valve in the cold-
water supply line is open. Check the rating plate and wiring diagram
before proceeding. This electric water heater was built and wired in
accordance with the UL testing approvals requirements. The
temperature limiting device is of the manual reset, trip-free type and
has been factory installed to interrupt all ungrounded power supply
conductors in the event of thermostat failure. Thermostats are factory
set and wired in accordance with the wiring diagram fastened to the
inside of the top access panel. The plumbing supplier in your area
ordered this heater wired at the factory to comply with existing area
codes, but local utility codes may require or allow other circuitry.
Consult your local power company to determine the correct electrical
hook-up in order to meet local utility and building codes and in order to
obtain the most economical rates. Also check to find out if you are
required to obtain a permit before starting the installation. The
following chart shows the recommended fuse size for the maximum
water heater wattage. The maximum wattage and rated voltage are
shown on the water heater data plate. The water heater must be well
grounded. A green ground screw is provided at the electrical
connection point for connecting a ground wire. Ground screw on 10 &
15-gallon models is located under the removable element cover.
