For your safety, turn off electrical power supply before making any  
electrical connections to avoid possible electrical shock hazard.  
1. All wiring must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical  
Code and any additional national, state or local code requirements having jurisdiction. All  
wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1.  
2. The boiler must be electrically grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition. Use 105 °C. thermoplastic wire, or equivalent, if any of  
the original wire must be replaced (except for pilot spark, sense and ground wires).  
3. Canadian installations must conform to CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and  
any local or provincial codes.  
4. Supply wiring to the boiler must be No. 14 gauge or heavier. Install in conduit.
