NOTICE
The default temperature setting displayed for commercial controls that will appear when the water
heater is first connected to the electrical supply or in the event of a power interruption is 140
°F.
In most situations, the Main Control on the water heater will suit the customer’s needs and reduce the
installation time required. If a remotely located temperature control is desired, a Remote Control (239-
44509-00) may be purchased from your supplier. When deciding on the best location for the remote
control, please consider the following items:
1. Place the control out of reach of small children.
2. Avoid locations that may allow adjustment by unauthorized personnel (see above warning).
3. Avoid locations where the control will become hot, such as over the stove, near the oven, or other
heat sources.
4. Avoid direct sunlight. (The digital readout can be difficult to read in direct sunlight).
5. Avoid areas where the remote can be splashed with cooking water, oil, or sauce.
6. The remote control operates with low voltage, 12 volts DC.
Remote Main Control Installation (Optional):
Follow the same control installation procedure as outlined under “Temperature Control Installation” for
residential models. Up to two remote temperature controls can be installed.
WARNING
Do not attempt to connect the remote controls with the power on to the water heater. There is 120 volt
terminals and wiring next to the remote control connections inside the unit. All servicing and wiring must be
performed by a qualified installer.
