GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
For the
INSTALLATION,
OPERATION and MAINTENANCE
of
DURAWATT EXR
WATER HEATERS
This water heater is equipped with an adjustable thermostat to control water temperature. Hot water temperatures required for automatic dishwasher and laundry use could cause scald burns resulting in serious personal injury and/or death. The temperature at which injury occurs varies with the person’s age and time of exposure. The slower response time of disabled persons increases the hazards to them. Never allow small children to use a hot water tap or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a child or disabled person unattended in a bathtub or shower.
Since the thermostat temperature setting could be set too high, adjust the thermostat temperature setting to 125°F or lower. Lower settings help reduce risk of scald injury. Remember, no water heater system will provide exact temperature at all times. Allow a few days of operation at this setting to determine the correct temperature setting consistent with your needs and remember, “Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.” Also, the water heater should be located in an area where the general public does not have access to set temperatures.
