WATER TEMPERATURE SAFETY SETTING
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered
when selecting the water temperature setting of water heater's
thermostat. Water temperatures above the 125°F can cause
severe burns or death from scalding. Be sure to read and follow
the warnings outlined on the label pictured below. This label
is also located on the water heater near the thermostat access
panel.
Water temperature over 125 °F
can cause severe burns instantly
or death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly are
at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before set-
ting temperature at water heater.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available, see manual.
Notice: To protect against injury, you
should install a 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 your local
plumbing supplier.

DANGER:
children, disabled, or elderly persons may
require a 120°F or lower thermostat setting to
prevent contact with "HOT" water. The tem-
perature of the water in the heater is regulated
by the electronic control on the front of the
water heater. To comply with safety regulations,
the thermostat was set at 120°F/49°C before the
water heater was shipped from the factory.
