Operating
Setting the Temperature:
The Eccotemp i12-LP/NG models are AUTOMATIC
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED tankless water
heaters. You will need to set your maximum
temperature on the i12 Gas Tankless Water
Heater and then adjust your sink or shower water
temperature at the source.
The i12 is a flow activated unit and should maintain
at least 0.6 GPM to activate and 0.6 GPM to
maintain ativation.
•
Manual Temperature Control:
You must adjust the
temperature manually each time you use the unit. The
temperature must be adjusted according to the amount
of applications being used at the same time due to the
fluctuation of pressure.
NOTICE: If inlet water temperature is high, and set
temperature is low, the actual temperature might be higher
than the set temperature, and viceversa..
DANGER: There is a hot water
scald potential if the temperature
is set too high. Households with
small children, disabled, or elderly
persons may require a 120°F or
lower temperature setting to
prevent contact with HOT water.
Output temperature of water is regulated by setting the
temperature on the front of the unit.
Safety factors should be considered when selecting the
water temperature.
Water temperature above 120°F can cause severe burns
or death from scalding. The thermostat is adjusted to
its lowest temperature position when shipped from the
factory.
Be sure to read and follow the warnings outlined in this
manual and on the label located on the water heater.
Mixing valves are available for reducing point of use
water temperature by mixing hot and cold water in
branch water lines.
Procedures for adjusting the thermostat for energy
efficient operation at the minimum water temperature
setting consistent with the consumer’s needs.
Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing
authority for further information.

Automatic Temperature Control:
The unit will self-adjust
temperature according to what is being requested of
at the output water source (sink or shower). It also will
regulate the temperature automatically according to
how many applications are being used at the same time.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual
gas control valve to the water heater.
