DANGER
THIS WATER HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADJUSTABLE
THERMOSTAT TO CONTROL WATER TEMPERATURE. HOT WATER
TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER AND
LAUNDRY USE CAN CAUSE SCALD BURNS RESULTING IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH
INJURY OCCURS VARIES WITH THE PERSON’S AGE AND THE TIME
OF THE EXPOSURE. THE SLOWER RESPONSE TIME OF CHILDREN,
AGED OR DISABLED PERSONS INCREASES THE HAZARDS TO THEM.
NEVER ALLOW SMALL CHILDREN TO USE A HOT WATER TAP, OR TO
DRAW THEIR OWN BATH WATER. NEVER LEAVE A CHILD OR DISABLED
PERSON UNATTENDED IN A BATHTUB OR SHOWER.
THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE THE
GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SET TEMPERATURES.
The water temperature is controlled using the Temperature Control Button
on the Display at the front of the unit (See Figure 1). This control utilizes
two temperature probes to determine the tank temperature. The primary
temperature probe is located at the top of the tank and the other is near
the water inlet.
The temperature may be adjusted from 90°F/32°C to 180°F/82°C. The
thermostat was adjusted to 120°F/49°C before the heater was shipped from
the factory. It is recommended that lower water temperature be used to avoid
the risk of scalding. It is further recommended, in all cases, that the water
FEATURES
IMPORTANT
IT IS REQUIRED THAT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM
THE INITIAL FIRING OF THE HEATER. AT THIS TIME THE USER SHOULD
NOT HESITATE TO ASK THE TECHNICIAN ANY QUESTIONS WHICH HE
MAY HAVE IN REGARD TO THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
THE UNIT.
A CHECKLIST AND SERVICE INFORMATION section are included at the rear
of this manual. By using this checklist the user may be able to make minor
operational adjustments and save himself unnecessary service calls. However,
the user should not attempt repairs which are not listed in this section.
