DANGER
•
Water temperature over 125°F can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
•
Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
•
Set the Maxi-Therm thermostat as low as practical. Setting the thermostat as low as
possible will reduce the risk of scalding and reduce energy consumption.
•
Feel water before showering or bathing.
•
Special valves are available to provide anti-scald protection. Consult a licensed
plumber or the local plumbing authority for more information.
X. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
There are no user serviceable parts on this product. Attempts to service this product by
someone other than a licensed plumber or heating technician could void the warranty,
cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
1) Reliable operation of the Maxi-Therm depends upon proper maintenance of the Maxi-Therm, boiler and other
parts of the boiler system. Have the maintenance outlined in Part IX of this manual preformed on an annual basis.
Also make sure that the boiler is maintained in accordance with its manufacturer’s instructions.
2) If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the Maxi-Therm opens periodically, it may be due to thermal
expansion in a closed water supply system. Consult a licensed plumber, the local plumbing authority, or the water
supplier. Do not plug the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve.
WARNING
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long
period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To
prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot
water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electri-
cal appliance which is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will
probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as hot water begins
to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
