General Information
Safety
The warranty on this water heater/storage unit is in effect only when the water heater/ storage unit is installed and
operated in accordance with local codes and these instructions. The manufacturer of this water heater/storage unit
will not be liable for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these instructions. Read these instructions
thoroughly before starting.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause serious injury or property
damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or
additional information, consult a qualified installer
or service agency.
CAUTION
The recommended temperature for normal residential
use is 120° F (49° C). The dial on the thermostat
does not always reflect the out coming water
temperature, which could occasionally exceed 120° F
(49° C). The variation in out coming temperature
could be based on factors including but not limited
to usage patterns and type of installation. Test your
water at the tap nearest to the water heater.
WARNING
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.
Before adjusting the water temperature setting,
read this instruction manual. Temperatures at which
injury occurs vary with the person's age and the
length of exposure. The slower reaction time of
children, elderly, and physically or mentally challenged
persons increases the scalding hazard to them. It is
recommended that lower water temperatures be used
where these exposure hazards exist. Such households
may require a temperature setting less than 120° F
(49° C) to prevent accidental contact with hot water.
WARNING
Water heater blankets are not recommended and will
void the warranty.
This manual has been prepared to acquaint you
with the installation, operation and maintenance of
your water heater and to provide important safety
information.
