                            Electrical Connection                   The water heater requires 120 VAC, 60 Hz power from a properly grounded circuit.  If using the 6 foot long power cord, plug it into a standard 3 prong 120 VAC, 60 Hz properly grounded wall outlet.    The wiring diagram is located on the Technical Sheet attached to the inside of the front cover.
