The water heater must be connected in such a way that the electrical junction
box is accessible to a service agent allowing the removal of the heating element
and for complete removal of the unit when necessary.
CONFINED SPACES
If the thermostat fails the unit may produce excessive steam.
It is strongly recommended that heater should be installed in well ventilated
spaces to avoid condensation build up.
