SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Please read and understand all safety precautions and instructions before
operating this portable water heater. Improper use can result in severe injury, fire, or
even death.
• This device is not intended to supply you with drinking water. It is designed to provide warm
and/or hot water for washing and cleaning purposes only.
• Water in the device can become very hot. Always check the water temperature and confirm it is
safe before use.
• Never operate this in an enclosed area. Without ventilation, there is a strong carbon monoxide risk.
• Do not place or store any clothing or miscellaneous items on top of or against this device.

• This device can raise water a maximum of 86 °F (30 °C) above its starting temperature (e.g.,
water starting at 35 °F (2 °C) can only be raised to a maximum of 121 °F (49 °C)). If this does not
raise the temperature to your desired level, water can be returned into the heater a second time
to raise the temperature.
• For safety reasons, this device will automatically shut off the internal burner once the water
temperature from the water outlet reaches 125 °F (52 °C).
