WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can
cause property damage, personal injury, exposure to hazardous materials* or loss of
life. Review the information in this manual carefully. *This unit contains materials that
have been identified as carcinogenic, or possibly carcinogenic, to humans.
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids or other combustible materials in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. To
do so may result in an explosion or fire.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas
supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.
This manual should be maintained in legible condition and kept adjacent to the heater or in a safe place for future
reference.

GENERAL SAFETY To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high limit safety control on this water heater will shut off the main gas valve before the outlet temperature reaches 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. When supplying general purpose hot water, the rec- ommended initial setting for the temperature control is 125°F. -

Page 42: Reset Ratio
RESET RATIO The control uses the four following settings to determine the reset ratio: Boiler Start (Boil START) The Boil START temperature is the theoretical boiler supply water temperature that the heating system requires when the outdoor air temperature equals the OUT START temperature setting. The Boil START is typically set to the desired building temperature. Outdoor Start (OUT START) The OUT START temperature is the outdoor air temperature at which the control provides the Boil START water temperature to the system. -
