a power supply cord. These water heaters
may be plugged into a standard general
purpose power outlet.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must

agent or a similarly qualied person in order
to avoid a hazard.

Before removing the electrical cover, ensure
the electrical power supply is safely isolated.
