WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause serious injury
or property damage. Refer to this manual. For
assistance or additional information, consult a
qualified installer or service agency.
WARNING
If the information in these instructions is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or
death.
WARNING
Install in accordance with all local codes.
In the absence of local codes, refer to ANSI
223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1.
CAUTION
The recommended temperature for normal
residential use is 120°F. The dial on the aquastat
does not always reflect the out-coming water
temperature and it could occasionally exceed
120°F. Variation in out-coming temperature
could be based on factors including but not
limited to usage patterns and type of instal-
lation. Test water at the tap nearest to the
water heater. See page 32 for measuring the
out- coming water temperature.
WARNING
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.
Before adjusting the water temperature setting,
read this instruction manual. Temperatures
at which injury occurs vary with the person’s
age and the length of exposure. The slower
reaction time of children, elderly or physically
or mentally challenged persons increases the
scalding hazard to them. It is recommended
that lower water temperatures be used where
these exposure hazards exist. Households
with small children or invalids may require
a temperature setting less than 120°F to
prevent accidental contact with hot water.
To
produce less than 120°F, use point-of-use
temperature limiting devices.
If higher water temperature is needed in part
of the water system, automatic temperature
limiting devices must be used on all lines to
water taps.
WARNING
Flammable vapors may be drawn to this water
heater from other areas of the structure by air
currents. Do not store or use any flammable
liquids in the vicinity of this heater.
WARNING
Water heater blankets may restrict air flow to
the water heater and cause fire, asphyxiation,
personal injury or death.
