Water (Potable) Heating: All models are considered suitable for 

water (potable) heating only.

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: 

Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a 
temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish 
washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure 
you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently 
injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, 
the infi rm, or physically/mentally disabled. If anyone using hot water in 
your home fi ts into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state 
law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you 
must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible 
temperature setting that satisfi es your hot water needs, a means such 
as a mixing valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these 
people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available from your local 
plumbing contractor. Consult a Qualifi ed Installer or Service Agency. 
Follow mixing valve manufacturer’s instructions for installation of the 
valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the 
“Temperature Regulation” section in this manual.

Carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, 
because the placement is a very important consideration for the 

safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical 
use of the appliance.

Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water 
heater in a new location, the following critical points must be 
observed:

1.  Select a location indoors as close as practical or centralized to 

the water piping system as possible. The water heater should be 
located in an area not subject to freezing temperatures. 

2.   Selected location must provide adequate clearances (4”/101.6 mm) 

for servicing parts such as the thermostats, drain valve, and relief 
valve. Adequate clearance for servicing this appliance should be 
considered before installation, such as changing the anodes, etc.
