7.5 Scalding
WARNING: SCALD HAZARD
 An ASSE 1017 or ASSE 1070 temperature limiting or
mixing valve is recommended in installations servicing
disabled or elderly persons, or children. Mixing valves do
not eliminate the risk of scalding. To avoid scalding:
— Set the water heater set point temperature as low as
possible.
— Feel water before bathing or showering.
— If thermostatic valves are required, use devices
specifically designed for such purpose. Install these
devices in accordance with instructions provided by
the manufacturer.
 Failure to install a temperature limiting or mixing valve and
follow these instructions could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death due to scalds.
This water heater can deliver scalding water. Be careful whenever using hot water
to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such as dishwashers and automatic
clothes washers may require increased water temperatures. By setting the
thermostat on this heater to obtain the increased water temperature required by
these appliances you may create the potential for scald injury.
To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the water system. This valve will
reduce point of use discharge temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch
supply lines. Such valves are available from your local plumbing supplier.
Table 1 details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald
injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for
your applications.
7.6 Filling the Heater
1. Make certain any drain valves in the system are completely closed.
2. Open the shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
3. Open the hot water faucets to allow air to vent from the heater and piping.
4. Allow suffi cient time for the heater to completely fi ll with water.
5. Check for and repair any leaks.
If you detect a water leak from the water heater at this point, turn off
the water supply at the main shut-off valve and contact Customer Service
(Phone: 1-866-642-3198).
NOTICE: PRODUCT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE
 When filling the water heater, open a hot water tap to release
air in the water heater and piping. The heating canisters
must be full of water before the heater is turned on. Failure
to ensure the water heater is full before turning it on could
result in damage to the water heater and other property
damages. Such damages ARE NOT covered by water heater
warranty.
