Rheem Indirect Water Heater - Manual

#23960 P1ge 1
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause serious injury
or property damage. Refer to this manual. For
assistance or additional information, consult a
qualified installer or service agency.
CAUTION
The recommended temperature for normal
residential use is 120°F. The dial on the aquastat
does not always reflect the out-coming water
temperature, which could occasionally exceed
120°F. The variation in out-coming temperature
could be based on factors including but not
limited to usage patterns and type of installation.
Test your water at the tap nearest to the indirect
water heater.
WARNING
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.
Before adjusting the water temperature setting,
read this instruction manual. Temperatures at
which injury occurs vary with the person’s age
and the length of exposure.
The slower reaction time of children, elderly, and
physically or mentally challenged persons
increases the scalding hazard to them. It is
recommended that lower water temperatures be
used where these exposure hazards exist. Such
households may require a temperature setting
less than 120°F to prevent accidental contact
with hot water.
To lower water temperature use point-of-use
temperature limiting devices.
WARNING
Water heater blankets are not recommended and
will void the warranty.
