OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Water Temperature Regulation
The higher the setting, the greater the risk of
scalding. Hot water can cause third degree burns
in under one (1) second at 160°F (71°C), in five
(5) seconds at 140°F (60°C), and in thirty (30)
seconds at 130°F (54°C). In households where
there are children, physically challenged individu-
als, or elderly persons, mixing valves for point of
use are necessary as means of reducing the
scalding potential of hot water.
The gas control valve is factory-adjusted to its lowest
temperature, approximately 70°F (21°C). When the
water heater is plugged in for the first time, the gas
control valve will start to heat the water to this tem-
perature. To avoid any unintentional changes in the
water temperature settings, the gas control valve has
a tamper resistant feature included for changing the
temperature setting. If you want to change this set-
ting for either cooler or warmer water, the following
steps are necessary:
1) “Wake up” the temperature indicators by holding
down both the COOLER and HOTTER tempera-
ture adjustment buttons at the same time for one
second (
see Lighting Instructions
). One or two of
the temperature indicators will light up. These indi-
cators will only remain on for thirty (30) seconds, if
no further buttons are pressed. After thirty (30)
seconds, the control will go back to “Sleep” mode,
and both buttons will again have to be pressed to
see the water temperature setting. Release both of
the temperature adjustment buttons.
2) If this is the first time that the control has been
used, the left-most
green indicator will be
illuminated, indicating
the water tempera-
ture setting of approx-
imately 70°F (21°C).
If the control has been
in operation for some
time, the water tem-
perature setting may
indicate a different
temperature.
See
Figure 13
for an
explanation of what each of the temperature indica-
tors mean.
To decrease the temperature
, press and release
the
COOLER
button once. The temperature indi-
cators will now display the new temperature set-
ting. Press and release the
COOLER
button until
you have reached the desired setting.
HOLDING
DOWN THE BUTTON WILL NOT CONTINUE TO
LOWER THE SETTING
. The button must be
pressed and released for each temperature change
desired.
To increase the temperature
, press and release
the
HOTTER
button once. The temperature indica-
tors will now display the new temperature setting.
Press and release the
HOTTER
button until you
have reached the desired setting.
HOLDING
DOWN THE BUTTON WILL NOT CONTINUE TO
RAISE THE SETTING
. The button must be
pressed and released for each temperature change
desired.
To maximize the efficiency of this water heater and
reduce the risk of scalding, it is recommended that
the gas control valve be set at the setting below the
large triangle («
m
»), which represents approximately
120°F (49°C).
3) When you have completed setting the control, wait
30 seconds to see that the temperature indicators
go off and the control enters “Sleep” mode.
ALL
OF THE TEMPERATURE INDICATORS WILL
BE OFF DURING NORMAL OPERATION
. If any
time you see the indicators on, there may be a
system error and you should consult the
Troubleshooting Guide of this document, or con-
tact a trained service professional.
