NOTE:
During low demand periods when hot water is not
being used, a lower thermostat setting will reduce energy
losses and may satisfy your normal hot water needs. If hot
water use is expected to be more than normal, a higher
thermostat setting may be required to meet the increased
demand.
When
leaving
your
home
for
extended
periods
(vacations,
etc.)
turn
the
temperature
dial
to
its
lowest
setting. This will maintain the water at low temperatures with
minimum energy losses and prevent the tank from freezing
during cold weather.
