Warning
HOT WATER CAN SCALD!

Children, disabled, and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
Never leave then unattended in or near the shower, bathtub or sink.
Never allow small children to use a not water faucet or draw their own bath.
To avoid any potential scald hazard or if codes require specific water temperatures at the hot
water faucet, the installer must:
Install a thermostatic mixing valve at the outlet of the Domestic Hot Water Indirect
Water Heater outlet and ensure it is working properly.
AND
Set the thermostatic mixing valve to the lowest temperature which satisfies your hot
water needs.

:
Feel and adjust water temperature before bathing or showering.
Water drained from the system drain valve may be extremely hot.
Make sure all connections are tight.
Direct water flow away from any person.
