Replacing water heater

View the thread, titled "Replacing water heater" which is posted in DIY Electrical Advice on Electricians Forums.

I can spell electricty and connect same colored wires to connections, but that's about it.

My old water heater has the attached sticker on it-see picture.

I want to replace with the one linked below.

My issue is the watt differences.

Should I be able to simply disconnect electric and connect to new unit (other than plumbing, which is simple.).

Thanks so much in advance.

They are similar in specs.
If you are unsure then get a local electrician to advise and install.
