getting under the water.
3. RISK OF SCALD INJURY. Do not touch hot water flowing from temperature and pressure relief valve.
4. RISK OF BURN INJURY. Do not touch flue pipe top and exhaust pipe. The insulated material provided
should be installed around the exhaust pipe. Due to high surface temperature, keep children away from
the unit.
