Connect Electricity

WARNING
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
The water heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the
absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
Indoor water heaters are equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard
and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding terminal from this plug.
Do not rely on the gas or water piping to ground the water heater. A screw is provided in the junction box for
the grounding connection.
The water heater requires 120 VAC, 60 Hz power from a properly grounded circuit.
If using the 5 foot long power cord, plug it into a standard 3 prong 120 VAC, 60 Hz properly grounded wall outlet.
On outdoor models, a disconnect switch must be provided and installed for the incoming 120 VAC power. It
should be a type that is suitable for outdoor use. Check the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and your
local codes for a proper switch type to use in your area.
The wiring diagram is located on the Technical Sheet attached to the inside of the front cover.
