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 resu
