this product. Equipment damage, injury to personnel or death could result from improper

installation. Raritan Engineering Company, Inc. accepts no responsibility or liability for

damage to equipment, injury to personnel or death that may result from improper installation

WARNING: Hazard of Shock or Fire - Always use recommended fuse/circuit breaker and wire size. Always

make sure that unit is properly grounded to AC grounding conductor (green).

Hazard of Scalding - Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns instantly.

WARNING: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this heater that has not been used

for a long period of time (generally 2 weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable.

To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that a hot water faucet be

opened for several minutes before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water

system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping

through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near

the faucet when it is initially opened.
