A dedicated circuit is recommended for the water heater. DO NOT connect to a GFCI or AFCI circuit. Multiple units may be connected to a single circuit up to the circuit rating. DO NOT use 3-prong to 2-prong adapters. DO NOT use power strips or multiple outlet adapters. All direct-vent gas models come with a 3-prong power cord.
