Default To Reduce Risk Of Electric Shock

TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR POSSIBLE
ELECTROCUTION THE WATER HEATER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. The electrical supplyto the water heater should be a separately grounded
branch circuit having overcurrent protection and a disconnectswitch. Refer to the rating plate attached to the heater to determine the correct ratings for voltage and amperage. To ensure proper operation, the supply voltage
should be within +5% and -10% of the rated voltage of the heater. The water heater should be grounded in accordance with national and local codes.
WATER HEATER EQUIPPED FOR LIMITED VOLTAGE RANGE. water heater is designed to operate within specific voltage range. Check rating plate mounted on the heater for the correct voltage. DO NOT connect this water heater to any voltage supply other than that indicated on the rating plate. Failure to use the correct voltage may result in unsafe operation and personal injury or property damage. If you have any questions or doubts consult your electric company.
