or Canadian Electrical Code, CAN/CSA C22.1, Part 1, in
Canada.
NOTICES:
• The provided remote control will allow maximum
temperature settings of 120°F (49°C). Temperatures up to
140°F (60°C) for residential applications and up to 185°F
(85°C) for commercial applications* can be achieved
with the MAIN (UMC-117) remote control. Only qualified
service personnel should perform this adjustment.

• Avoid installing the remote control in the
following areas and/or conditions:
– area exposed to heat.
– area exposed to steam.
– area exposed to oil.
– area exposed to direct sunlight.
– areas near stored or used
flammable products.
• Place remote control out of children’s reach.
• The remote control should be installed in a convenient
location (e.g., kitchen, laundry room, utility room, or
directly next to the water heater).
• The maximum distance between the water heater and
the remote control installation location is limited to 195
ft. (59 m) of wire.
