Risk of scalding at the hot water fixture
▶ When the water heater is in operation, temperatures in
excess of 120 °F (49 °C) can occur. To limit the
temperature at the tap, install a thermostatic DHW mixing
valve.
▶ Water heated for washing the laundry, dishes and for other
cleaning purposes can cause scalding and permanent
injuries.
▶ Children, elderly, and handicapped persons are more likely
to be permanently injured by hot water. Never leave such
individuals in the tub or shower unattended under any
circumstances. Children must not be allowed to operate
hot water faucets themselves or to fill a bathtub.
▶ If the building has occupants in the above groups who
operate hot water faucets, or state laws / local ordinances
stipulate specific water temperatures, take the following
precautions:
– Use the lowest possible temperature setting.
– To prevent scalding, install a tempering device, such as
an automatic mixing valve, at hot water tap or water
heater. Select and install the automatic mixing valve in
accordance with the valve manufacturer's
recommendations and instructions.
▶ Water exiting from drain valves can be extremely hot. To
avoid injuries:
– Check that all connections are tight.
– Direct exiting water away from people.
▶ Measures must be taken to protect against excessive
temperature and pressure! Installation of a pressure relief
valve (PRV) is required.
To protect against corrosion and ensure compliance with the
rules for electrical safety, observe the following points:
▶ Use metal fittings for potable water heating systems with
plastic piping.
▶ Use only original accessories from the manufacturer.
▶ When installation of the water heater is complete, inspect
the ground conductor (including metal fittings).
Maintenance
Customers are advised to:
▶ Inspect and maintain the water heater on a yearly basis.
Service as needed.
▶ Use only genuine spare parts.
Flooding
▶ After a flood, do not use the appliance if any part has been
submerged. Damage to appliances that have been
submerged can be quite severe and pose numerous safety
risks.
▶ Every appliance that has been submerged must be
replaced.
