Temperature Regulation
&WARNING
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a
temperature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and per- manently injure you upon contact. Some people are
more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the
infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring
a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to
using the lowest possible temperature setting that sat- isfies your hot water needs, some type of tempering device, such as a mixing valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions
for installation of the valves, Before changing the
factory setting of the thermostat, read the
"Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.
_WARNINGJ
Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, J or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a J child or handicapped person unattended in a bath-
tub or shower.
