_,WARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem-

perature which will satisfyspaceheating, clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and _ermanently 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 tem. _erature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possi- ble temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall 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 changingthe factory set- ting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regularon" sect on n this manua.

_,WARNING

WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE ONLY: This water heater is equipped for one type voltage only. Check the rating plate near the bottom accesspanel for the correct voltage. DO NOT use this water heater with any voltage other than the one shownon the model rating plate. Failure to use the correct volta..gecan cause problems which ca'T_r_s'0Rin-"DE'_,'_RIOUSBODILY
