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 (49
°C)
or lower gas
control (thermostat) setting to prevent contact with "HOT"
water.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the
burner has shut off. To find water temperature being
delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and place
a thermometer in the water stream and read the
thermometer. (See pages 29 and 30 for more details.)
The temperature of the water in the heater can be
regulated by pressing the "COOLER" or "HOTTER"
arrow buttons on the front of the combination
gas control. To comply with safety regulations
the combination gas control was set at its lowest
setting before the water heater was shipped from the
factory. The desired water temperature must be set.
The illustration below details the approximate
water temperature for each LED indicator of the
Combination Gas Control's
display.

HOT
Water temperature over 125 °
can cause severe burns
instantly or death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly are
at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before
setting temperature at water
heater.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available, see manual.

WATER TEMPERATURE SETTING
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when selecting the water
temperature setting of a water heater’s gas control. Water temperatures above 125°F (52°C)
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.
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.
