Table 5 - Troubleshooting
The risk of scald injury increases as you increase water temperature. A lower setting is more economical and
reduces the risk of scalding. Use a water tempering or mixing valve and extreme caution when using hot water
to avoid scald injury. Consult codes for conformance. Failure to follow the instructions in this warning statement
could result in serious personal injury or death from scalds.
Be sure to disconnect electrical power before performing service. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock,
property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
If draining of the water heater is necessary, open the T&P valve or a hot water tap to prevent vacuum buildup
in the tank and piping.
Occasionally, the high temperature limit shut o device may trip the resets. This occurs when water temperature
exceeds 185
