GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 
For the 
INSTALLATION, 
OPERATION and MAINTENANCE  
of 
DURAWATT EXR 
WATER HEATERS
 
 
 
 
 
This water heater is equipped with an 
adjustable thermostat to control water 
temperature. Hot water temperatures 
required for automatic dishwasher and 
laundry use could cause scald burns 
resulting in serious personal injury and/or 
death. The temperature at which injury 
occurs varies with the person’s age and 
time of exposure. The slower response time 
of 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. 
Since the thermostat temperature setting 
could be set too high, adjust the thermostat 
temperature setting to 125°F or lower. 
Lower settings help reduce risk of scald 
injury. Remember, no water heater system 
will provide exact temperature at all times. 
Allow a few days of operation at this setting 
to determine the correct temperature 
setting consistent with your needs and 
remember, “Hotter water increases the risk 
of scald injury.” Also, the water heater 
should be located in an area where the 
general public does not have access to set 
temperatures.
