Thermostat Adjustment
The temperature of the water can be changed by adjusting the
thermostat(s). Before any work is done on the water heater, disconnect
all power to the water heater by opening the switch at the main
electrical circuit breaker or fuse box. Remove the access panels or front
panel on table tops, fold the insulation outward away from the controls.
Set the thermostat(s) to the desired w ater temperature using a
screw driver to move the thermostat dial. The thermostat has been
factory preset to approximately 120° F (49°C). Rotate the temperature
dial clockwise to increase w ater temperature. Replace the insulation
making sure that the controls are well covered and that the plastic
terminal shield has not been displaced; replace the access panel. The
water heater is now ready for operation and the main switch can be
closed.

CAUTION
Before adjusting thermostat(s), turn off power supply to the water
heater.
CAUTION
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur
within five (5) seconds at a temperature setting of 140°F (60°C). To
protect against hot water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve
in the water system. This valve will reduce point of discharge water
temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch water lines. A
licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing authority should be
consulted.
Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to
prevent overheating. Should overheating occur, turn off the electrical
supply to the water heater and contact a qualified service technician.
