!
Water temperature over 125°F can
cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalds.
Temperature control settings
usually approximate tap water
temperature. However, factors
could cause water temperature
to reach 160°F regardless of the
control settings.
Children, disabled and elderly
are at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before
setting temperature at water
heater.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available; see manual.
