The chart shown above may be used as a guide
in determining the proper water temperature for your
home.
NOTICE: 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.
The temperature of the water in the heater is
regulated by the adjustable surface mounted
thermostat(s) located behind the jacket access
panel(s). Dual element heaters have two thermostats.
The thermostat(s) were set at 60°C (140°F) before
the water heater was shipped from the factory.
The illustration at the left
shows the temperature
adjustment dial used for
setting the water
temperature.
Refer to the Operating
Instructions in this
manual for detailed
instructions in how to
adjust the thermostat(s).
DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for Hot
Water SCALDS.

WARNING!
WATER TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when selecting the water
temperature setting of water heater’s thermostat. Water temperatures above 52°C (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 available for reducing point of use
water temperature by mixing hot and cold water in branch
water lines. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing
authority for further information.
