Water Temperature Regulation
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
AVERTISSEMENT
ATTENTION
The higher the temperature setting, the greater the risk of
scalding. Hot water can cause third degree burns in under
one (1) second at 160
o
F (71
o
C), in five (5) seconds at
140
o
F (60
o
C), and in thirty (30) seconds at 130
o
F (54
o
C). In
households where there are children, physically challenged
individuals, or seniors, mixing valves for point of use are
necessary as means of reducing the scalding potential of
hot water.
When the water heater is plugged in for the first time, the
gas control valve will start to heat the water to the factory
adjusted temperature. To avoid any unintentional changes
in the water temperature settings, the gas control valve has
a tamper-resistant feature included for changing the tem-
perature setting. If you want to change this setting for either
cooler or warmer water, the following steps are necessary:
1. “Wake up” the temperature indicators by hold-
ing down both the COOLER and HOTTER temper-
ature adjustment buttons at the same time for one
(1) second (see Lighting Instructions). One or two of the
temperature indicators will light up. These indicators will
only remain on for thirty (30) seconds, if no further but-
tons are pressed. After thirty (30) seconds, the control
will go back to “Sleep” mode, and both buttons will again
have to be pressed to see the water temperature setting.
Release both of the temperature adjustment buttons.
See
Figure 11
for an explanation of what each of the temperature
indicators mean.

To decrease the temperature , press and release the
COOLER button once. The temperature indicators will
now display the new temperature setting. Press and release
the
COOLER
button until you have reached the desired
setting HOLDING DOWN THE BUTTON WILL NOT
CONTINUE TO LOWER THE SETTING. The but-
ton must be pressed and released for each temperature
change desired.
To increase the temperature
, press and
release the HOTTER button once. The temperature
indicators will now display the new temperature setting.
Press and release the HOTTER button until you have
reached the desired setting. HOLDING DOWN THE
BUTTON WILL NOT CONTINUE TO RAISE THE
SETTING
. The button must be pressed and released for
each temperature change desired.
To maximize the efficiency of this water heater and reduce the
risk of scalding, it is recommended that the gas control valve
be set at the setting below the large triangle (« »), which
represents approximately 120°F (49°C).
2. When you have completed setting the control, wait
thirty (30) seconds to see that the temperature
indicators go off and the control enters “Sleep”
mode. ALL OF THE TEMPERATURE
INDICATORS WILL BE OFF DURING NORMAL
OPERATION
. If at any time you see the indicators on,
there may be a problem with the water heater and you
should consult the
Troubleshooting Guide
of this docu-
ment, or call EnerCare Home Services at 1-866-554-5591.
When hot water is drawn from the tank in frequent short
bursts, a condition known as “stacking” is created. “Stacking”
is the result of increased cycling of the burner and can produce
very hot water temperatures at the hot water outlet. Always
remember to check the hot water coming out of any fau-
cet with your hand before use. This will reduce the risk of
scalding-related injuries.
