WARNING
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended
to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature
which will satisfy 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 physical-
ly/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 certain temperature
water at the hot water tap, then you must take special pre-
cautions. In addition to using the lowest possible tempera-
ture setting that satisfies your hot water needs, some type
of tempering device, such as a mixing valve, should be
used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the
water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing sup-
ply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions
for installation of the valves, Before changing the factory
setting of the thermostat, read the “Temperature
Regulation” section in this manual.
