INSTALLATION, OPERATION &
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Be-
fore changing the temperature setting, read the
instruction manual. Temperatures at which injury oc-
curs vary with the individual's age and length of
exposure.
The slower reaction times of children, elderly and
physically or mentally impaired persons increases
the scalding hazard to them. It is recommended lower
water temperatures be used where these situations
exist.
Households with small children or invalids may re-
quire a temperature setting less than 120°F to prevent
accidental contact with hot water.
To lower water temperature use point-of-use tem-
perature limiting devices.
WARNING:
Flammable vapors may be drawn to this water heat-
er from other areas of the structure by air currents.
Do not store or use any flammable liquids in the
vicinity of this heater.
WARNING:
Water heater blankets may restrict air flow to the
heater and cause fire, asphyxiation, personal injury
or death.
