DANGER: There is a hot
water scald potential
if the thermostat is set
too high. Households with small
children, disabled, or elderly
persons may require a 49°C
(120°F) or lower thermostat
setting to prevent contact with
HOT water.
Water Temperature Setting
The temperature of the water in the water
heater can be regulated by setting the
temperature dial of the adjustable surface
mounted thermostat(s) located behind the
jacket access panel(s).
Dual element heaters have two
thermostats.
Safety and energy conservation are factors
to be considered when selecting the water
temperature setting of the water heater’s
thermostat(s). The lower the temperature
setting, the greater the savings in energy
and operating costs.
The thermostat(s) are factory set at 60°C
(140°F) or less where local codes require.
This is the recommended starting point.
Water temperatures above 52°C (125°F)
can cause severe burns or death from
scalding. Be sure to read and follow the
warnings outlined in this manual and on
the label on the water heater. This label is
located on the water heater near the
thermostat access panel.
Mixing valves for reducing point of use
water temperature by mixing hot and cold
water in branch water lines are available.
Contact a licensed plumber or the local
plumbing authority for further
information.
The chart below may be used as a guide in
determining the proper water temperature
for your home.
