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 per-
manently 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 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 precautions. In addition to
using the lowest possible temperature setting that sat-
isfies 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 supply
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.

or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a J
child or handicapped person unattended in a bath-
tub or shower.
