This water heater 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 on this

water heater to obtain increased temperature water required by these

appliances, you may 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 water heater or a local plumbing supplier. Please

consult with a plumbing professional.
