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.
Thermostat Adjustment
The thermostat dial is adjusted to it’s lowest setting when shipped from the
factory. When adjusting the thermostat, it should be remembered that lower
temperature settings are more energy efficient. To adjust the thermostat turn
the dial clockwise until the minimum acceptable temperature is set. It is
suggested that the starting point setting not exceed the 120°F (49°C) or “HOT”
setting on the thermostat.
