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 infi rm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot
water in your home fi ts 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 satisfi es 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. Consult a Qualifi ed 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,
see Figure 19.
