1. "Wake Up" the temperature indicators by holding down both the
"COOLER" and "HOTTER" temperature adjustment buttons at
the same time for one second (see Figure 10). One or two of
the temperature indicators will light up. These indicators will
only remain on for 30 seconds if no further buttons are pressed.
After 30 seconds the control will go back to "Sleep" mode.
2. Release both of the temperature adjustment buttons.
A. To decrease the temperature press and release the
"COOLER" button until desired setting is reached.
B. To increase the temperature press and release the
"HOTTER" button until the desired setting is reached.
NOTE: Holding down the button will not continue to lower or raise
the temperature setting. The button must be pressed and released
for each temperature change desired.
SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL
TO SHUT OFF, TURN OFF THE MAIN MANUAL GAS SHUT OFF
VALVE TO THE APPLIANCE, SEE FIGURE 1 (G).

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
DISCONNECT FROM ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE
SERVICING UNIT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, WATER HEATER
SERVICE SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN. READ THE GENERAL SAFETY
INFORMATION SECTION FIRST.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
DANGER
THIS WATER HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADJUSTABLE
THERMOSTAT TO CONTROL WATER TEMPERATURE. HOT
WATER TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHING AND LAUNDRY USE CAN CAUSE PAINFUL
SCALDING WITH POSSIBLE SERIOUS AND PERMANENT
INJURY. THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH INJURY OCCURS
VARIES WITH THE PERSON'S AGE AND THE TIME OF THE
EXPOSURE. THE SLOWER RESPONSE TIME OF CHILDREN,
AGED OR DISABLED PERSONS INCREASES THE HAZARDS
TO THEM. NEVER ALLOW SMALL CHILDREN TO USE A HOT
WATER TAP, OR TO DRAW THEIR OWN BATH WATER. NEVER
LEAVE A CHILD OR DISABLED PERSON UNATTENDED IN A
BATHTUB OR SHOWER.
THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA
WHERE THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS.
IF A SUITABLE AREA IS NOT AVAILABLE, A COVER SHOULD
BE INSTALLED OVER THE THERMOSTAT TO PREVENT
TAMPERING. Suitable covers are available through A.O. Smith
Water Products Company, 500 Tennessee Waltz Parkway, Ashland
City, TN 37015. In Canada, A.O. Smith Enterprises, LTD., P.O. Box
310-768 Erie Street, Stratford, Ontario N5A 6T3.
It is recommended that lower water temperatures be used to avoid
the risk of scalding. It is further recommended, in all cases, that
the water temperature setting be set for the lowest temperature
that satisfies your hot water needs. This will also provide the
most energy efficient operation of the water heater. The water
temperature adjustment was factory set at the lowest temperature.
Pressing the "COOLER" button decreases temperature and
pressing the "HOTTER" button increases the temperature.
SETTING THE WATER HEATER TEMPERATURE AT 120°F
(49°C) (APPROX. " " MARK ON FACE OF THE TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTING DIAL) WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF SCALDS.
Some
states require settings at specific lower temperatures.
Figure 10 shows the approximate water temperatures produced
at various thermostat settings. Short repeated heating cycles
caused by small hot water uses can cause temperatures at the
point of use to exceed the thermostat setting by up to 20°F (11°C).
If you experience this type of use you should consider using lower
temperature settings to reduce scald hazards.
Valves for reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and
hot water are available. Also available are inexpensive devices
that attach to faucets to limit hot water temperatures. Contact a
licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority.
To avoid any unintentional changes in water temperature settings,
the control has a tamper resistant feature for changing the
temperature setting. To change the temperature setting follow
these instructions:
