HOT 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 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 satisfies your
hot water needs, a means such as a *Mixing Valve shall 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 Qualified 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 Figures 109 and 110.
