The appliance must be electrically supplied and grounded in accordance with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or in the absence of such requirements, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. In Canada, the electrical service must conform to local electrical codes and/or CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.

−All wiring between the unit and field installed devices must be made with type T copper wire.

−Line voltage wire exterior to the appliance must be enclosed in approved conduit or approved metal clad cable.

−To avoid serious damage, DO NOT energize the unit until the system and appliance is full of water.

4.4Handling and Location

WARNING: Use industry standard safe rigging methods, such as including the use straps and spreader bars and lifting from the water heater base skid assembly, when attempting to lift or move this product. Failure to follow industry safe rigging methods could result in property damage, serious injury or death.

1 Check the data decal on the appliance. Be sure the electrical, water, oil, or gas supply is adequate for the installation.

2Carefully remove all shipping supports and bracing.

3These units are suitable for indoor installation only.

4.Installing the water heater on a 4 inch to 6 inch housekeeping pad is recommended to ensure proper condensate drainage.

5.Locate the unit so that if water connections should leak, water damage will not occur. When such locations are unavoidable, install a suitable drain pan, and plumb pan to ensure adequate drainage in the event of a leak. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer responsible for water damage in connection with this unit, or any of its components. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover water damage.

6.Protect associated electrical components and electrical connections from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service.
