TYPICAL INSTALLATION
APPLICATION/USE OF WATER HEATER
This Water Heater has been design certified as
complying with
ANSI Z21.10.3-CSA 4.3
current edition for
water heaters and is considered suitable for:
• Water (Potable) Heating and Space Heating*: All
models are considered suitable for water (potable)
heating and space heating.
*These water heaters cannot be used in space heating
applications only.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water.
Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space
heating, clothes washing, dish washing, and other
sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure
you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be
permanently injured by hot water than others. These
include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/
mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your
home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local
code requiring a certain temperature water at the hot
water tap, then you must take special precautions. In
addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting
that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as
a *Mixing Valve should be used at the hot water taps
used by these people or at the water heater. See
Figure

(page 7) . Mixing valves are available at plumbing
supply or hardware stores. Consult a qualified installer
or service agency. Follow mixing valve manufacturer’s
instructions for installation of valves. Before changing
the factory setting on the thermostat, see
