This appliance has been design certifi ed as complying with American
National Standard/CSA Standard ANSI Z21.10.1 • CSA 4. 1 for water
heaters and is considered suitable for:
Water (Potable) Heating: All models are considered suitable for water

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 permanently injure you upon
contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by
hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infi rm,
or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your
home fi ts 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 satisfi es your hot water needs,
a means 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. Consult a Qualifi ed
Installer or Service Agency. Follow mixing valve manufacturer’s
instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory
setting on the thermostat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section
in this manual. See Figure 32.
