DANGER: There is a hot water scald
potential if the temperature is set too high.
Households with small children, disabled, or
elderly persons may require a 120°F. or lower
temperature setting to prevent contact with
HOT water.
Output temperature of water is regulated by setting the
temperature on the front of the remote control.
Safety factors should be considered when selecting the
water temperature setting of the water heater’s remote
control. The remote control was set at 110°F before the
water heater was shipped from the factory. This is the
recommended starting point.
Water temperatures above 120°F can cause severe burns or
death from scalding. The thermostat is adjusted to its lowest
temperature position when shipped from the factory. Be
sure to read and follow the warnings outlined in this manual
and on the label located on the water heater. Mixing valves
are available for reducing point of use water temperature by
mixing hot and cold water in branch water lines. Procedures
for adjusting the thermostat for energy efficient operation
at the minimum water temperature setting consistent with
the consumer’s needs.
Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority
for further information.

Operating the Water Heater.
Turning on the Water Heater
1. Make sure the gas type you will use is same as the type on the data plate.
2. Turn on the main gas valve, plug in the power cord (be sure the socket is well grounded), and
press the “ON/OFF”button on the control panel. Set temperature to 120° F.
3. Turn on the faucet, and the fan will begin working. You will hear the ignition sound after a
few seconds. The burner will ignite, and hot water will come out. If the burner is not ignited
successfully, the ignition sound will last a few seconds. If the burner still fails to ignite, turn off
the faucet and wait for 10-20 seconds, and repeat the above procedures.
For first use and/or if the water heater has not been used for a considerable period of time, the
repeat of the above procedures may be required, due to accumulated air inside the gas pipe.
