DANGER

•  Water  temperatures  over  125ºF  can  cause severe 

burns instantly or death from scalding.

•  Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of 

being scalded.

•  Never leave them unattended in or near shower, 

bathtub or sink.

•  Never allow small children to use a hot water faucet 

or draw their own bath.

•  If anyone using hot water in the building fits the 

above description or if local codes or state laws 

require specific water temperatures at hot water 

faucet, it is recommended:

-  To install a thermostatic mixing valve at this 

appliance or at each water faucet.

or
-  To set the thermostat knob for the lowest 

temperature which satisfies your hot water needs.

•  Water drained from the system drain valves may be 

extremely hot.  To avoid injury:

–   Make sure all connections are tight.
–   Direct water flow away from any person.

Bacteria can develop in the domestic water 

system if certain minimum water tempera-

tures are not maintained. Failure to maintain 

at least 140°F [60°C] domestic hot water tem-

perature (using the Antilegionella function 

of your boiler, if any) can result in bacteria 

development, which can result in serious in-

jury, or death.
