Installation / Operation Instruction Manual

Thermostat Adjustment

The temperature of the water can be changed by adjusting the

thermostat(s). Before any work is done on the water heater,

disconnect all power to the water heater by opening the switch at the

main electrical circuit breaker or fuse box. Remove the access panels

or front panel on tabletops, fold the insulation outward away from the

controls. Set the thermostat(s) to the desired water temperature using

a screwdriver to move the thermostat dial. The thermostat has been

factory preset to approximately 120°F

(49°C).

Rotate the temperature

dial clockwise to increase water temperature. Replace the insulation

making sure that the controls are well covered and that the plastic

terminal shield has not been displaced; replace the access panel. The

water heater is now ready for operation and the main switch can be

closed.

CAUTION

Before adjusting thermostat(s), turn off power supply to the water heater.

CAUTION

Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within

five (5) seconds at a temperature setting of 140°F (60°C). To protect

against hot water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the

water system. This valve will reduce point of discharge water

temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch water lines. A

licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing authority should be

consulted.

Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to

prevent overheating. Should overheating occur, turn off the electrical

supply to the water heater and contact a qualified service technician.
