Setting the water temperature
The 425 HNO has a gas control that modulates burner
input in response to flow. Its purpose is to ensure that
the hot water temperature will remain steady, although
the water flow demand might vary. The output
temperature can be adjusted with either the
temperature adjustment knob or the gas control slide.
Fig. 10 Temperature Adjustment Controls
Temperature adjustment knob
The temperature adjustment knob on the front bottom of
the heater (see Fig. 10) adjusts temperature by
adjusting flow capacity. See table 4 for details.
Warning:
If you do not follow these
instructions exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
