This appliance has been design certified as complying with
American National Standard/CSA Standard for water heaters and
is considered suitable for:
Water (Potable) Heating and Space Heating: All models are
considered suitable for water (potable) heating and space heating.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: 
Water	heaters	are	intended	to	produce	hot	water.	Water	heated	
to	 a	 temperature	 which	 will	 satisfy	 space	 heating,	 clothes	
washing,	 dish	 washing,	 and	 other	 sanitizing	 needs	 can	 scald	
and	permanently	injure	you	upon	contact.	Some	people	are	more	
likely	to	be	permanently	injured	by	hot	water	than	others.	These	
include	the	elderly,	children,	and	the	physically	or	developmentally	
disabled.	If	anyone	using	hot	water	from	this	heater	fits	into	one	
of	these	groups	or	if	there	is	a	local	code	or	state	law	requiring	
a	certain	temperature	water	at	the	hot	water	tap,	then	you	must	
take	special	precautions.		In	addition	to	using	the	lowest	possible	
temperature	setting	that	satisfies	your	hot	water	needs,	a	means	
such	as	a	Mixing	Valve,	shall	be	used	at	the	hot	water	taps	used	
by	 these	 people	 or	 at	 the	 water	 heater,	 see	 Figure	 2.	 Mixing	
valves	 are	 available	 at	 plumbing	 supply	 or	 hardware	 stores.	
Consult	 a	 Qualified	 Installer	 or	 Service	Agency.	 Follow	 mixing	
valve	 manufacturer’s	 instructions	 for	 installation	 of	 the	 valves.	
Before	changing	the	factory	setting	on	the	thermostat,	read	the	
“Temperature	Regulation”	section	in	this	manual.
* the side recirculation loop connections may not be used as the primary water inlet and outlet connections. for your convenience, plugs are installed
in these fittings at the factory. Remove these plugs if needed for your specific installation. Otherwise (as with all connections) check for leaks while 
filling the tank with water and after completing the installation.
