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.
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, which could
occasionally exceed 120°F. The variation in
out coming temperature could be based on
factors including but not limited to usage
patterns and type of installation. Test your
water at the tap nearest to the water heater.
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,
and 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.
Such
households
may
require
a
temperature setting less than 120°F to
prevent accidental contact with hot water.
To lower water temperature use point-of-
use temperature limiting devices.
WARNING
Water
heater
blankets
are
not
recommended and will void the warranty.
