Rinnai REU - 16 FUA - E user manual Important Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Excessively hot water is dangerous, especially for young children and the infirm. The water heater allows you to control the temperature of your hot water to safe levels.

Water temperature over 50ºC can cause severe burns instantly or even death from scalding.

Children, disabled and the elderly are at the highest risk of being scalded by excessively hot water.

Always test the temperature of the water before bathing or showering.

Burns from hot water taps can result in very severe injuries to young children.

Hot water at 65°C can severely burn a child in less than half a second. At 50°C it takes five minutes.

Burns can occur when children are exposed directly to hot water or when they are placed into a bath which is too hot.
