Safety precautions

When using this electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
B READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
B This appliance must be grounded.
B Disconnect this product from the electrical supply
before cleaning, servicing or removing the cover.
B To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when the product is used near children or
elderly persons.
B Warning: Mount the unit onto a flat section of wall,
well away from any potential splashes of water or
spray and away from areas where direct moist or wet
contact could occur.
B Warning: Indoor installation only, where it will NOT be
exposed to freezing.
B Warning: Do not install a check valve or any other type
of back flow preventer within ten feet of the cold
water inlet.
B The electrical installation must conform to current
National Electrical Codes.
B Warning: Do not switch the heater on if you suspect
that it may be frozen. Wait until you are sure that it
has completely thawed out.
B The Powerstar electric water heater is designed to
heat potable cold water for domestic purposes. The
heater is not designed to accept inlet water
temperatures above 86° F. Contact Bosch
Thermotechnology Corp. before specifying or
installing the appliance in any other application.
B Warning: Any water heater should be installed in such
a manner that if it should leak, the resulting flow of
water will not cause damage to the area in which it is
installed. National Plumbing codes require a drain pan
for any water heater installation. Failure to install one
is the sole responsibility of owner and/or installer.
