Water  Temperature  Setting…

Maximum  water  temperature  occurs  while    
the  burner  is  on.  To  determine  the  water  
temperature,  turn  on  a  hot  water  faucet  and  
place  a  thermometer  in  the  water  stream.  
Water  temperature  at  the  faucet  may  vary  
depending  on  season  and  length  of  pipe    
from  the  water  heater.

The  factory  setting  of  the  remote  control  
temperature  range  is  between  100°F  (38°C)  
and  120°F  (49°C).

The  remote  control  is  factory  preset  to  100°F  
(38°C).    To  turn  the  remote  control  ON  or  
OFF,  press  the  POWER  button.

To  adjust  the  temperature  to  a  required  
setting,  press  the  UP  arrow  temperature  
button.

Pressing  the  UP  or  DOWN  temperature  
adjustment  buttons  will  change  the  
temperature  set  point.

The  temperature  set  point  on  the  remote  
control  cannot  be  increased  above  112°F  
(44°C)  when  a  hot  water  faucet  is  in  the    
open  position.

Notice:

  The  factory  setting  allows  operating  

temperatures  between  100°F  (38°C)  and  
120°F  (49°C).  Temperatures  of  85°F  (29°C)  
and  up  to  140°F  (60°C)  can  be  achieved  
with  the  MAIN  (UMC-­117)  remote  control.  

Temperatures  of  85°F  (29°C)  can  be  
achieved  with  the  Bath  (USC-­117  or  
USC2-­117)  remote  control.  

Only  qualified  

service  personnel  should  perform  this  

adjustment.  Only  factory  authorized  remote  
control(s)  should  be  used.

The  hottest  temperature  water  will  be  at  the  
hot  water  faucet  closest  to  the  water  heater.

Always  remember  to  test  the  water  
temperature  with  your  hand  before  use  and  
remember  that  hotter  water  increases  the  risk  
of  scald  injury.

Always  supervise  young  children  or  others  
who  are  incapacitated.

The  water  heater  is  equipped  with  a  device  
that  will  shut  off  the  gas  supply  to  the  burner  
if  the  water  heater  exceeds  normal  operating  
temperatures.  Refer  to  the  “Before  You  Call  
For  Service”  section  located  near  the  back  of  
this  manual,  or  contact  your  dealer.

!

WARNING:  Should  overheating  

occur  or  the  gas  supply  fail  to  shut  off,    
turn  off  the  manual  gas  control  valve    
to  the  appliance.

If  the  water  heater  has  been  subjected  to  
fire,  flood,  physical  damage,  or  has  been  
under  water,  turn  off  the  manual  gas  shut-­off  
valve(s),  and  do  not  operate  the  water  heater  
again  until  it  has  been  checked  by  qualified  
personnel.

Notice:

  The  water  heater  may  not  operate  

with  a  small  water  flow.  In  such  case,  increase  
the  water  flow.  If  water  heater  still  does  not  
operate  and  hot  water  faucet  is  completely  
open,  increase  the  temperature  setting  on  the  
remote  control.
