GENERAL SAFETY To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high limit safety control on this water heater is adjustable up to 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. When supplying general purpose hot water, the rec- ommended initial setting for the temperature control is 125°F. Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con- sidered when setting the water temperature on the thermostat. The most energy-efficient operation will Wate

Reversing Air Filter Follow these instructions to change the air duct con- nection from the left-hand side (standard) to the right-hand side: 1. Remove the four screws and the dust cover from the right-hand side of the heater. 2. Remove the four screws and the air filter bracket from the left-hand side of the heater. 3. Reverse the components and reattach in the new location, making sure that the air filter locking bracket is on the bottom. (The air filter locking bracket is reversible.) Fig. 8:

Cold Water Operation CAUTION: Damaging internal condensation may occur if the heater inlet water temperature does not exceed 105ºF (41ºC) within 7 minutes of start-up. A heater operated with an inlet temperature of less than 105ºF (41ºC) must have a manual bypass or an approved low-temperature operation system to pre- vent problems with condensation. A manual bypass, shown in Fig. 15, must be piped into the system at the time of installation. This piping is like a pri- mary/secondary boiler inst
