This water heater is supplied with adjustable thermostats to control water temperature. Hot water
temperatures required for automatic dishwasher and laundry use can cause scald burns resulting in serious
personal injury and/or death. The temperature at which injury occurs varies with the person’s age and the
time of exposure. The slower response time of disabled persons increases the hazards to them. NEVER
allow
small children to use a hot water tap or to draw their own bath water. NEVER
leave a child or disabled
person unattended in a bathtub or shower.
