• The electrical supply required by the water heater is 120VAC at 60 Hz. The power consumption may be up to 172W.
Use an appropriate circuit.
• Do not disconnect the power supply when not in use. When the power is off, the freeze prevention in the water
heater will not activate, resulting in possible freezing damage.
• The electrical supply must be connected by designated power circuit.
• Do not let the power cord contact the gas piping.
