  DANGER

THIS WATER HEATER IS EQUIPPED 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 THE EXPOSURE. THE SLOWER
RESPONSE TIME OF CHILDREN, AGED OR 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.

THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE THE
GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SET TEMPERATURES.

The water temperature is controlled using the Temperature Control Button
on the Display at the front of the unit (See Figure 1). This control utilizes
two temperature probes to determine the tank temperature. The primary
temperature probe is located at the top of the tank and the other is near the
water inlet.

The temperature may be adjusted from 90°F/32°C to 180°F/82°C. The
thermostat was adjusted to 120°F/49°C before the heater was shipped
from the factory. It is recommended that lower water temperature be used
to avoid the risk of scalding. It is further recommended, in all cases, that the

IMPORTANT

IT IS REQUIRED THAT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM THE
INITIAL FIRING OF THE HEATER.  AT THIS TIME THE USER SHOULD NOT
HESITATE TO ASK THE TECHNICIAN ANY QUESTIONS WHICH HE MAY
HAVE IN REGARD TO THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE UNIT.

A CHECKLIST AND SERVICE INFORMATION section are included at the rear
of this manual.  By using this checklist the user may be able to make minor
operational adjustments and save himself unnecessary service calls.
However, the user should not attempt repairs which are not listed in this
section.
