Installation / Operation Instruction Manual

Important Information continued-

DANGER

This water heater is supplied with an adjustable

thermostat to control water temperature. Hot water

temperatures required for automatic dishwasher and

laundry use can cause scald burns resulting in serious

personal injury and/or death. The temperature at which

injury occurs varies with the person’s age and the 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.

To comply with NSF requirements this water heater is

to be:

a) Sealed to the floor with sealant, in a smooth and

easily cleanable way, or

b) Installed with an optional leg kit that includes legs

and/or extensions that provide a minimum

clearance of 6” beneath the water heater.

WARNING

Installation is not complete unless a properly

sized/capacity temperature and pressure relief valve is

installed into the top of the water heater. See the

General Information section of this manual for details.
