WARNING
This water heater shall not be connected to any heating
systems or component(s) previously used with a non-
potable water heating appliance.
If this water heater is also used for space heating applica-
tions, all piping and components connected to the water
heater shall be suitable for use with potable water.
WARNING
Toxic chemicals such as used for treatment of boilers or
non-potable water heating appliances shall never be
introduced into a potable water space heating system.
WARNING
When the system requires water at temperatures higher
than required for other uses, the hot water system may
require a means such as a mixing valve to be installed to
temper the water at certain points of use. Some people
are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water
than others; these include the elderly, children, the
infirm, or the physically/mentally handicapped. Before
immersing yourself or anyone else in hot water, be sure
to check the water temperature. WARNING: HOTTER
WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY. (Also
see “Temperature Regulation” section) Mixing valves
are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores.
Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of
these valves.
