Safety information
Fig. 1
The chart below shows the relationship between water
temperature and time until there is a risk of scalding. It can be
used as the basis for determining the safest water temperature
for your application.
NOTICE:
Appliance malfunction!
▶ If power is lost while appliance is
operating. Turn off both water and
power for 15 seconds to reset device.
WARNING:
Risk of scalding and property
damage.
▶ Precautions must be taken prior to
manually operating the relief valve to
avoid contact with hot water discharged
from the relief valve and to prevent
water damage.
NOTICE:
Appliance damage!
▶ Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors
can result in improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
WARNING:
System damage!
▶ If a relief valve discharges periodically,
this may be due to thermal expansion in
a closed water supply system. Contact
the water supplier or local plumbing
inspector on how to correct this
situation. Do not plug the relief valve.
WARNING:
Personal Injury from toxic
chemicals.
▶ Toxic chemicals, such as those used for
boiler treatment, shall not be introduced
into the potable water used for space
heating.
WARNING:
Personal Injury from toxic
chemicals.
▶ A water heater which will be used to
supply potable water shall not be
connected to any heating system or
component(s) previously used with a
nonpotable water heating appliance.
