IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
DANGER!
WATER TEMPERATURE SAFETY SETTING
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when selecting the
water temperature setting of water heater’s thermostat. Water temperatures
above the 125°F can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Be sure to read
and follow the warnings outlined on the label pictured below. This label is also
located on the water heater near the thermostat access panel.
Notice: Mixing valves are recommended for reducing
point of use water temperature by mixing hot and cold
water in branch water lines. It is recommended that a
mixing valve complying with the Standard for
Temperature Actuated Mixing Valves for Hot Water
Distribution Systems, ASSE 1017 be installed.
The chart shown above may be used as a guide in
determining the proper water temperature for your
home.
DANGER:
Households with small children,
disabled, or elderly persons may require a 120°F or lower
thermostat setting to prevent contact with “HOT” water.
The temperature of the water in the heater is regulated
by the electronic control on the front of the water
heater. To comply with safety regulations, the
thermostat was set at 120°F before the water heater was
shipped from the factory.
Please consult Section 10
to learn more about setting
your heaters temperature.
Rotate right for higher
temperature (up to 140F)
or rotate left for cooler
temperature (as low as
80F) will be displayed on
the screen above the knob.
