WARNING
Water temperature over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly resulting in severe injury
or death.
Children, the elderly, and the
physically or mentally disabled are
at highest risk for scald injury. Feel
water before bathing or showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available. Read this instruction
manual for safe temperature setting.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
Water (Potable) heating: All models are considered suitable for
water (potable) heating 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, 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
disabled. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring 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. Mixing valves are available from your local plumbing contractor. Consult a Qualified Installer or Service Agency.
Follow mixing valve manufacturer's instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat,
read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.
