CAUTION

Check local codes for the maximum water temperature setting allowed when used in nursing homes, schools, day care centers, and all other public use applications.

NOTICE

The default temperature setting displayed for commercial controls that will appear when the water heater is first connected to the electrical supply or in the event of a power interruption is 140°F.

SCALDING

CAUTION

Test the temperature of the water with your hand or elbow before placing a child in the bath or shower. Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.

This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water at any faucet in the system. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may require increased temperature water. By setting the thermostat on this water heater to obtain the increased temperature water required by these appliances, you may create the potential for scald injury. To protect against injury, you should install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from the local plumbing supplier.

The following chart details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.
