    WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, 

service or maintenance can cause  serious 

injury or property damage. Refer to this 

manual. For assistance or additional 

 information, consult a qualified installer or 

service agency.

    CAUTION

The recommended temperature for normal 

residential use is 120°F. The dial on the 

aquastat does not always reflect the out-

coming water temperature, which could 

occasionally exceed 120°F. The variation in 

out-coming temperature could be based on 

factors including but not limited to usage 

patterns and type of installation. Test your 

water at the tap nearest to the water heater. 

    WARNING

Hotter water increases the risk of scald  injury. 

Before adjusting the water temperature  setting, 

read this instruction manual. Temperatures at 

which injury occurs vary with the person’s age 

and the length of exposure. 
The slower reaction time of children, elderly, 

and physically or mentally challenged persons 

increases the scalding hazard to them. It is 

recommended that lower water temperatures 

be used where these exposure hazards exist. 

Such households may require a temperature 

setting less than 120°F to prevent accidental 

contact with hot water.
To lower water temperature use point-of-use 

temperature limiting devices.

    WARNING

Water heater blankets are not recommended 

and will void the warranty.
