 Indirect-Fired Water Heaters – Series 3

Hot Water Can Scald!

•  Water temperature over 12°F can cause severe

burns instantly, or death from scalds.

•  Feel water before bathing or showering.
•  Consumer  Product    Safety    Commission    and

some    states  recommend  temperature  settings

of 10°F or less. Setting thermostat higher than

10°F setting will increase risk of scald injury and

can cause severe personal injury or death.

•  Water  heated    to    a    temperature  suitable  for

clothes  washing,  dish  washing  and  other  sani-

tizing  needs  will  scald  and  cause  permanent

injury.

•  Children and elderly, infirm, or physically handi-

capped persons are more likely to be injured by

hot water. Never leave them unattended in or near

a bathtub, shower or sink. Never allow small chil-

dren to use a hot water faucet or draw their own

bath. If anyone using hot water in the building

fits this description, or if state laws or local codes

require certain water temperatures at hot water

faucets, take special precautions:

•  Install an automatic mixing valve at water

heater or at each hot water faucet, bath, and

shower outlet. Selection and installation

must comply with valve manufacturer’s

recommendations and instructions.

•  Use the lowest practical temperature setting.
•  Check water temperature after any

adjustment. You must follow “Setting the

Thermostat” on page 19.

•  Household water usage patterns will affect water

temperature at any faucet or shower. Occasionally

check temperature at each point of use, then adjust

thermostat accordingly. Always recheck tempera-

ture after adjusting thermostat.

•  When hot water is used in repeated small quantities,

a “stacking” effect can develop in hot water tank.

The upper layer of water in tank can be much hotter

than lower layers.

•  Lowering  the  thermostat  setting  or  installing

automatic mixing valves as indicated in these in-

structions will reduce water temperature levels.

Consult your installer or service technician.
