Installation / Operation Instruction Manual

Water Connections continued-

This storage unit can deliver scalding temperature water at any faucet in the

system. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury.

Certain appliances, such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers,

may require increased temperature water. By setting the thermostat in the

water heating system to obtain increased temperature water required by

these appliances, you might create the potential for scald injury. To protect

against injury, you should install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the

water system. This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by

mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available

from the manufacturer of this storage unit or a local plumbing supplier.

Please consult with a plumbing professional.

WARNING

Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this

storage unit that has not been used for a long period of time

(generally two 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. If 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.
