Page 4

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

After the gas connections are made, water is in the heater and the pilot light is ignited, the control must be set to the desired water temperature.

The recommended water temperature dial setting is at the ar- row (). The water temperature out of the heater at this setting will be approximately 120oF.

If you use hot water frequently and in short spurts, water tem- perature can occasionally exceed the temperature setting by up to 30oF because of the dynamics of the appliance.

Be sure to protect babies and the infirm or others with impaired mobility who cannot get out of the hot water quickly. They are the people most commonly hurt in scald injuries and in need of lower temperature and other protection like supervision, point-of -use temperature control equipment or a system mixing valve. A point-of-use valve or a system mixing valve can be obtained from your plumber.

!WARNING

Never allow children to use a hot water tap, or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a child or impaired person unattended in a bathtub or shower. Scald burns can result.
