IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
Notice: Mixing valves are recommended for
reducing point of use water temperature by
mixing hot and cold water in branch water lines.
It is recommended that a mixing valve complying
with the Standard for Temperature Actuated
Mixing Valves for Hot Water Distribution
Systems, ASSE 1017 be installed.
DANGER!
WATER TEMPERATURE SAFETY SETTING
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when selecting the
water temperature setting of water heater's thermostat. Water temperatures above
the 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Be sure to read and
follow the warnings outlined on the label pictured below. This label is also located on
the water heater near the thermostat access panel.
The chart shown above may be used as a guide in
determining the proper water temperature for your home.
DANGER Once the unit is installed and checked for
water leaks, turn the breaker on and push the power
button to activate heater. Heater can be deactivated by
pushing the power button one more time. When the
heater is powered on the electronic control will
automatically power the element when it senses water
flow.
The temperature of the hot water delivered by the heater
depends on the wattage of the heating element,
temperature of the incoming cold water and the water
flow rate through the water heater. Reducing the flow
rate increases the outlet temperature and increasing the
flow rate reduces the outlet temperature.
It is important to keep in mind that all tankless water
heaters are subject to a maximum flow rate. The heater will
not be capable of heating water to desired temperature if
the flow rate exceeds the heaters capability. In order for the
heater to operate properly, it must be carefully matched to
its application and aerators should be used to limit water
flow. See Table I to determine the maximum flow rates and
temperature rise for each model.
CAUTION Outlet water temperature may be higher
when using the tankless heater at low flow rates or when
used with high inlet water temperature.
