Adjusting the Water Heater Thermostat

Water heater thermostat is factory set to its low-
est temperature.  This may or may not be suit-
able for your needs.

tem if certain minimum water temperatures
are  not  maintained.  Contact  your  local
health department for more information.

Check water temperature at a hot water faucet
immediately  after  first  heating  cycle.    Further
temperature  adjustment  may  be  necessary  as

temperature at faucet after adjustment.

When adjusting thermostat, be sure boiler limit
control is set at  a minimum of 20ºF higher than
the desired domestic water temperature.
