WARNING
This water heater is equipped with

required for automatic dishwasher and
laundry use could cause scald iJums
resulting in serious personal injury

injury occurs varies with the person's
age and time of exposure. The slower
response
time
of disabled persons
increases the hazards to them. Never
allow small children to use
a
hot water
tap or to' draw their own bath water.
Never leave
a
child or disabled person
unattended in
a
bathtub or shower.
Since
the
thermostat
temperature
setting could be set too high, adjust the
thermostat temperature setting to
125°F
or lower. Lower settings help reduce risk
of scald injury. Remember, no water
heater
system
will
provide
exact
temperature at all tim.es. Allow
a
