Thermostat Adjustment
Setting the Water Temperature
1. The thermostat has been set at the factory at about 52 °C to reduce the risk of
scald injury. We recommend this setting as this ensures the most safe and
economic operation of the water heater. This way the water temperature is
maintained at about 52 °C. The operation of the heater at this temperature level
also results in reduced build-up of calcium and lime, as well as reduced heat loss
than is the case at higher temperatures.
2. Authorized person can change thermostat setting by removing protective
cover, turning the thermostat adjustment screw on the side of the electric water
heater. Align markings on thermostat and adjustment screw to desired water
temperature.

DANGER
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within five
(
5
) seconds at a temperature setting of 140°F (
60°C
). To protect against hot
water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system. This
valve will reduce point of discharge water temperatures by mixing cold and hot
water in branch water lines. A licensed plumbing professional or local
plumbing authority should be consulted.
Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent
overheating. Should overheating occur, turn off the electrical supply to the
water heater and contact a qualified service technician.
