Hot Water Can Scald!
Water heated to temperature for clothes washing,
dish washing and other sanitizing needs can scald
and cause permanent injury.
Children, elderly, and infirm or physically
handicapped persons are more likely to be
permanently injured by hot water. Never leave
them unattended in bathtub or shower. Never allow
small children to use a hot water tap or draw their
own bath.
If anyone using hot water in the building fits the
above description, or if state laws or local codes
require certain water temperatures at hot water
taps, you must take special precautions:
• Use lowest possible temperature setting.
• Install some type of tempering device, such
as an automatic mixing valve, at hot water
tap or water heater. Automatic mixing valve
must be selected and installed according
to manufacturer's recommendations and
instructions.
• Water passing out of drain valves may be
extremely hot. To avoid injury:
• Make sure all connections are tight.
• Direct water flow away from any person.

WARNING
Combustion chamber insulation in this product
contains ceramic fiber material. Ceramic fibers can
be converted to cristobalite in very high temperature
applications. The International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, Crystalline silica
inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from
occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans
(Group1). Avoid breathing dust and contact with
skin and eyes. Use NIOSH certified dust respirator
(N95). This type of respirator is based on the OSHA
requirements for cristobalite at the time this document
was written. Other types of respirators may be
needed depending on the job site conditions. Current
NIOSH recommendations can be found on the NIOSH
website http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.
NIOSH approved respirators, manufacturers, and
phone numbers are also listed on this website. Wear
long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves, and eye
protection. Apply enough water to the combustion
chamber lining to prevent dust. Wash potentially
contaminated clothes separately from other clothing.
Rinse clothes washer thoroughly.
