Never allow small children to use a hot water tap,

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 physically/mentally handi-

capped. 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

temperature setting that satisfies your hot water

needs, a means 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 supply or hardware stores. Follow manu-

facturers instructions for installation of the valves.

Before changing the factory setting on the thermo-

stat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section in

this manual.
