DANGER
Hydrogen gas is produced in a hot water
system served by this heater that has not
been used for a long period of time (2 weeks
or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely
flammable. To reduce the risk of injury
under these conditions, it is recommended
that the hot water faucet be opened for
several minutes at the kitchen sink before
using any electrical appliance connected to
the hot water system. When hydrogen is
present, there will probably be an unusual
sound such as air escaping through the pipe
as the water begins to flow. There should be
no smoking or open flame near the faucet at
the time it is open.
CAUTION
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. Reference UPC 2006
(Uniform Plumbing Code) Section 508.1, or
IPC 2006 (International Plumbing Code)
Section 504.7.
CAUTION
Prior to connecting the power supply,
ensure tank is full of water and system is
purged of air.
NOTICE
Tank failure due to neglecting to maintain
the anode rod is not covered under
warranty (see Section 5 Maintenance).
1.3 Water Temperature Adjustment
Water temperature over 125 °F
can cause severe burns instantly
or death from scalds.
Temperature control settings
usually approximate tap water
temperature. However, factors
could cause water temperature to
reach 160°F regardless of the
control settings.
Children, disabled and elderly are
at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before
setting temperature at water
heater.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available; see manual.
