DANGER

Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within five

(5) seconds at a temperature setting of 140F (60



C). To protect against hot

water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system. This

valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water

in branch water lines. A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing

authority should be consulted.

Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to

prevent overheating. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to

shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a

qualified service technician.

Note: Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, condensate will

form on the cool tank surface and drops of water will fall on the hot burner

and combustion chamber surfaces producing a “sizzling” noise.

Condensation is normal and does not indicate a leak. It will disappear

when the tank becomes heated.
