d) If the unit is being installed in an enclosed room, an adequate air supply must be provided to the burner
by installing openings near the floor. These openings should be at least one square inch per 1000 BTU
input of the machine. Also, a ventilation opening must be installed near the ceiling. This opening should
be at least the same size as the supply opening near the floor. Refer to NFPA 31 and CAN/CSA B139-
M91, where applicable.
e) If the burner is located in a tightly constructed building where there is inadequate outside air infiltration,
outside combustion air must be supplied by some other means. One method to accomplish this is
through a permanent opening(s) must not be less than one square inch per 5,000 BTU input. All
appliances must be taken into consideration. Refer to NFPA 31 and CAN/CSA B139-M91, where
applicable.
DANGER
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
This unit must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. DO NOT USE an adapter
or remove the third grounding prong.
3.3 Power Cord Connection
1. Make certain the power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Ensure the electrical supply is a minimum of 15 amp / 110V.
3. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
a) This unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This unit is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
4. DANGER:
a) Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution. Check
with a qualified electrician or REEVES EMS, if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug, if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with this unit.
5. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION:
a) SINGLE PHASE – if this water heater is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) built into
the plug or power supply cord, test the GFCI each time it is plugged into an outlet according to the
instructions on the GFCI. Do not use the water heater if the test fails. The GFCI provides additional
protection from the risk of electrical shock. Should replacement of the plug or power cord become
necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include GFCI protection.
b) If this water heater is not provided with a GFCI, this water heater should only be connected to a
receptacle that is protected by a GFCI to comply with the National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and to
provide additional protection from the risk of electric shock.
