Information about the product
Safety, energy conservation, and hot water capacity
are factors to be considered when selecting the
water temperature setting of the water heater.
Water temperatures above 125°F can cause severe
burns or death from scalding. Be sure to read and
follow the warnings outlined on the label pictured to
the left. This label is also located on the water heater
near the top of the tank.

home.
DANGER
There is a Hot Water SCALD Potential if the
water temperature thermostat is set too
high. Households with small children,
disabled or elderly persons may require a
120 °F (49 °C) or lower thermostat setting to
prevent contact with "HOT" water.
CAUTION
The thermostat has been set at the factory
to 125 °F (51.7 °C) or lower to reduce the risk
of scald injury.
