Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Always shut off power to the water heater at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is de-energized with a meter before removing the access panel or disconnecting any wiring. Follow local electrical codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams when connecting the thermostat. Do not restore power until all wiring connections are secure and the access panel is properly reinstalled.
