WARNING 

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, 
service  or  maintenance  can  cause  serious 
injury  or  property  damage.  Refer  to  this 
manual.  For  assistance  or  additional 
information,  consult  a  qualified  installer  or 
service agency. 

CAUTION 

The  recommended  temperature  for  normal 
residential  use  is  120°F.  The  dial  on  the 
aquastat  does  not  always  reflect  the  out 
coming  water  temperature,  which  could 
occasionally exceed 120°F. The variation in 
out coming temperature could be based on 
factors  including  but  not  limited  to  usage 
patterns  and  type  of  installation.  Test  your 
water at the tap nearest to the water heater. 

WARNING 

Hotter  water  increases  the  risk  of  scald 
injury. 

Before 

adjusting 

the 

water 

temperature  setting,  read  this  instruction 
manual.  Temperatures  at  which  injury 
occurs  vary  with  the  person’s  age  and  the 
length of exposure. 
The slower reaction time of children, elderly, 
and  physically  or  mentally  challenged 
persons  increases  the  scalding  hazard  to 
them.  It  is  recommended  that  lower  water 
temperatures  be  used  where  these 
exposure hazards exist. 
Such 

households 

may 

require 

temperature  setting  less  than  120°F  to 
prevent accidental contact with hot water. 
To  lower  water  temperature  use  point-of-
use temperature limiting devices. 

WARNING 

Water 

heater 

blankets 

are 

not 

recommended and will void the warranty.
