REMOTE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
The supplied Remote Main Control allows the customer to control the hot water supply temperature and
will display certain fault codes in the event the water heater needs servicing. If used without the Remote
Main Control connected, the residential models (IGE-199R-10N,10X) have a fixed temperature setting of
120 ° F and the commercial models (IGE-199C-5N, 5X) have a fixed temperature setting of 140 ° F.
Residential Models:
The Remote Control inside the carton is intended for installation in the kitchen, utility, or laundry area of a
home. The adjustment range for all residential water heater controls is 98-160 ° F.
DANGER
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5 seconds at a temperature
setting of 135 ° F (57 ° C). To protect against hot water injury, install a ASSE approved mixing valve in the
water system. This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in
branch water lines. A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing authority should be consulted.
NOTICE
This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent overheating. Should overheating
occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a
qualified service agency.
CAUTION
This water heater, when set at a lower temperature setting is not capable of producing hot water of
sufficient temperature for sanitizing purposes.
Always check water temperature by hand before entering the shower or bath. The temperature may have
been changed.
Test the temperature of the water with your hand or elbow before placing a child in the bath or shower.
Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.
In addition, all models may have up to two optional remote controls (P/N 239-44509-00) installed in
bathrooms or other remote locations to control the temperature for showers and sinks. When these
controls are used, depressing the Priority Button will override the Main Remote Control and display the
setpoint of the Remote Control in use. All the remote Remote Controls will display fault codes in the
event the water heater needs service.
NOTICE
No more than three temperature controls may be connected to one EVERHOT ® water heater.
NOTICE

first connected to the electrical supply or in the event of a power interruption is 120 ° F.
