Water Temperature Setting…

Maximum water temperature occurs while  

the burner is on . To determine the water 

temperature, turn on a hot water faucet and 

place a thermometer in the water stream . 

Water temperature at the faucet may vary 

depending on season and length of pipe  

from the water heater .
The factory setting of the remote control 

temperature range is between 100°F (38°C) 

and 120°F (49°C) .
The remote control is factory preset to 100°F 

(38°C) .  To turn the remote control ON or 

OFF, press the POWER button .
To adjust the temperature to a required setting, 

press the UP arrow temperature button .
Pressing the UP or DOWN temperature 

adjustment buttons will change the 

temperature set point .
The temperature set point on the remote 

control cannot be increased above 112°F 

(44°C) when a hot water faucet is in the  

open position .

Notice:

 The factory setting allows operating 

temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 

120°F (49°C) . Temperatures of 85°F (29°C) 

and above 120°F (49°C) can be achieved 

with the MAIN (UMC-117) remote control . 

Temperatures of 85°F (29°C) can be 

achieved with the Bath (USC-117 or 

USC2-117) remote control . 

Only qualified 

service personnel should perform this 

adjustment . Only factory authorized remote 

control(s) should be used .
The hottest temperature water will be at the 

hot water faucet closest to the water heater .
Always remember to test the water 

temperature with your hand before use and 

remember that hotter water increases the risk 

of scald injury .
Always supervise young children or others 

who are incapacitated .
The water heater is equipped with a device 

that will shut off the gas supply to the burner 

if the water heater exceeds normal operating 

temperatures . Refer to the “Before You Call 

For Service” section located near the back of 

this manual, or contact your dealer .

!

WARNING: Should overheating  

occur or the gas supply fail to shut off,  

turn off the manual gas control valve  

to the appliance.

If the water heater has been subjected to 

fire, flood, physical damage, or has been 

under water, turn off the manual gas shut-off 

valve(s), and do not operate the water heater 

again until it has been checked by qualified 

personnel .

Notice:

 The water heater may not operate 

with a small water flow . In such case, increase 

the water flow . If water heater still does not 

operate and hot water faucet is completely 

open, increase the temperature setting on the 

remote control .
