ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Ensure that you have made the correct connections. You must follow the wire connection as shown in ensure
proper operation of the unit.
WARNING: For supply connections use 8 AWG or larger wires suitable for at least 167°F (75°C).
WARNING: This product has more than one power-supply connection point. Disconnect all power supplies before servic-
ing.
WARNING: The overcurrent protective devices are provided as a separate assembly, the product shall be used only with
this separate assembly.
WARNING: Firstly turn on the water and let it to run in the product for several minutes, and exhaust all the air in the
plumbing. At the same time, check whether there is water leakage at the internal and external water connections of the
product.
WARNING: To avoid a short circuit and circuit board is damaged, , make sure all strands are secure inside the terminal
block.
Before installing the water heater, make sure that your home has enough power to handle the maximum current available
for this product.
As with all high-power electrical products, Make sure to turn off all power to the product directly at the fuse or breaker box
before installing, repairing, disassembling this water heater.
All circuit protection (breakers) and wiring (wire gauge) must conform to the US National Electrical Code (NEC) in the
America or Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) in Canada.
