WATER TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Table 8 details the approximate relationship of water temperature
and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in
determining the safest water temperature for your applications.
WARNING
SCALDING
This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water at any
faucet in the system. Be careful whenever using hot water to
avoid scalding injury. By setting the thermostat on this water
heater to obtain an increased water temperature, you may create
the potential for scald injury. To protect against injury, you
should install an ASSE approved mixing valve (a device to limit
the temperature of water to protect against scald injury via
mixing hot and cold water supply) in the water system. This valve
will reduce point of discharge temperature in branch supply lines.
Such valves are available from the manufacturer of this water
heater or a local plumbing supplier. Please consult with a
plumbing professional.
