WARNING
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, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If
anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these
groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a cer-
tain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must
take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possi-
ble 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. Valves for
reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and hot
water are available: Consult a licensed plumber or the local
plumbing authority. Follow mixing valve manufacturers
instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the
factory setting on the thermostat, read the “Temperature
Regulation” section in this manual.
WARNING
This water heater shall not be connected to any heating
systems or component(s) previously used with a non-
potable water heating appliance.
If this water heater is also used for space heating applica-
tions, all piping and components connected to the water
heater shall be suitable for use with potable water.
WARNING
Toxic chemicals such as used for treatment of boilers or
non-potable water heating appliances shall never be
introduced into a potable water space heating system.
