AIRTHEREAL 8kW Electric Tankless Water Heater
Product Information
- This Quick Guide provides instructions for installing and using the 8kW Water Heater. Please note that this unit should only be installed by a qualified professional in compliance with all applicable electrical and plumbing codes.
- Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the necessary tools, including a voltage tester, screwdrivers, pliers, and wire strippers.
- It is important to note that this water heater operates at a high voltage of 240V, not 120V. Therefore, it is crucial to confirm that your breaker panel can meet the required specifications for the unit. Specifically, you will need a 240V outlet and a 40A double pole circuit breaker.
- If your existing infrastructure does not meet these specifications, it is necessary to hire a professional to install a new outlet, breaker, and/or wiring.
- For your safety, never attempt to clean, install, inspect, repair, disassemble, or service the water heater without first shutting off all power to the unit directly at the circuit breaker box. Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury or death.
- The electrical connections require an 8 AWG wire. The neutral wire (black) should be connected to L1, and the live wire (red) should be connected to L2.
Product Usage Instructions
- Turn off the power to the water heater by shutting off the circuit breaker.
- Take each wire pair and connect them to one breaker according to the provided wiring diagram. Ensure that each breaker is connected with one black wire and one red wire.
- Using a suitable wire gauge that complies with all applicable electrical codes for the size of the breakers used, run the correct sets of wire from the main breaker panel to the tankless water heater.
- Remember to include a separate ground conductor.
- Double-check all electrical connections to ensure they are correct and that all wire connections are tight and secure.
