Slide replacement thermostat into place behind clamp and connect wiring to appropriate points (refer to “Wiring Diagrams” section on page 10). Note: Ensure thermostat face is in good contact with cylinder surface. Check water heater internal wiring insulation for cracking. Refit the thermostat protective cover and upper access cover securely. Conduct an electrical insulation test on the water heater (refer to “Electrical Insulation Testing” on page 28). 10.Replace lower access cover and restore the power supply to the water heater.
