WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause serious
injury or property damage. Refer to this
manual. For assistance or additional
information, consult a qualified installer or
service agency.
CAUTION
The recommended water temperature for
normal residential use is 120°F/49°F. A
thermostatic mixing valve is supplied and
must be installed to the water heater. Follow
the instructions supplied with the mixing
valve to obtain a mixed water temperature of
120°F. Measure water temperature at the tap
nearest to the water heater.
WARNING
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.
Before adjusting the water temperature setting,
read this instruction manual. Temperatures at
which injury occurs vary with the person’s age
and the length of exposure.
The slower reaction time of children, elderly,
and physically or mentally challenged persons
increases the scalding hazard to them. It is
recommended that lower water temperatures
be used where these exposure hazards exist.
Such households may require a temperature
setting less than 120°F to prevent accidental
contact with hot water.
To lower water temperature use point-of-use
temperature limiting devices.
WARNING
Water heater blankets are not recommended
and will void the warranty.
