Cathodic Protection

Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet be open for several minutes at a sink close to the water heater before you use any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the hot water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flames near the faucet at the time it is open.

WARNING: WATER HEATER IS EQUIPPED FOR OPERATION ON ONE

VOLTAGE ONLY. Check the rating plate on the front of the control panel access for the correct voltage and phase. DO NOT use this water heater with any other voltage other than the voltage specified on the rating plate. Failure to use the correct voltage can cause problems that can result in death, serious bodily injury or property damage.

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE WATER HEATER TO AN IMPROPER SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY!

All installation procedures involving electric power connection should only be performed by a trained, certified electrician.

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically 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, NFPA No. 70. When the appliance is installed in Canada, it must conform to the CAE C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and/or local Electrical Codes.

1.Use copper conductors only. All wiring between the appliance and field installed devices shall be made with copper wire suitable for at least 75° C (167° F) temperature rating. If the wiring from an old water heater installation was aluminum, replace the old wire with copper wire.

2.The factory internal wiring is attached to a terminal block inside the unit. The branch circuit is connected to the terminal block through an opening provided on the top of the water heater electrical access panel.

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

4.To avoid serious damage, DO NOT energize the appliance until the system is full of water. Ensure that all air is removed from the storage tank and piping before beginning
