To prevent burns:

changing the temperature setting.
●
Feel the water before using it on children, the elderly, or the
disabled.

If it is necessary to set the water temperature above 125°F
(52°C), consider installing a thermostatically-controlled
mixing valve or temperature-limiting valve. Contact a
licensed plumber or your local plumbing authority for more
information.
