Temperature Regulation
_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-
tacturers instructions for installation of the valves.
Before changing the factory setting on the thermo-
stat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in
this manual. LOWER THERMOSTAT ADJUSTABLE
