GENERAL SAFETY
To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high
limit safety control on this water heater is adjustable up
to 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F
can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds.
When supplying general purpose hot water, the rec-
ommended initial setting for the temperature control is
125°F.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con-
sidered when setting the water temperature on the
thermostat. The most energy-efficient operation will
result when the temperature setting is the lowest that
satisfies the needs of the application.
Water temperature over 125°F can cause instant
severe burns or death from scalds. Children, disabled
and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
• Feel water before bathing or showering.
• Temperature limiting valves are available.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the
heater’s burner has shut off. To determine the water
temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water
faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water
stream and read the thermometer.

NOTE: When this water heater is supplying general
purpose hot water for use by individuals, a thermo-
statically controlled mixing valve for reducing point of
use water temperature is recommended to reduce
the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed plumber or
the local plumbing authority for further information.
Water temperature over 125°F can
cause instant severe burns or death
from scalds.
Children, disabled, and elderly are
at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before set-
ting temperature at water heater.
Feel water before bathing or show-
ering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available, see manual.
Time/Temperature
Relationships in Scalds
The following chart details the 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.
