WARNING

WARNING ABOUT HOT WATER

Hot water can cause scalding. Those most 

at risk are children and disabled, elderly 

and infirm persons. 

Rinnai have water heater models which 

limit the delivery temperature to 50°C which 

significantly  reduces  the  scald  hazard. 

Temperature limiting devices may also be 

able to be fitted. Contact Rinnai for further 

information.

ALWAYS

 test the water temperature before 

use, such as when filling a bath or basin or 

entering a shower, to ensure it is suitable 

for the application and will not cause scald 

injury.

ALWAYS

 supervise children whenever 

they are in the bathroom or near other 

sources of hot water. Ensure any hot water 

taps are closed firmly after use.
