Heating element has a thermostat which is factory set at
120˚F (49˚F) unless specified differently by
state requirements.
■ ■
Turn off the heater electrical supply.
■ ■
Unplug power cord.
■ ■
Remove front panel.
■ ■
Move temperature indicator on thermostat to

A non-adjustable high temperature limit control operates
before steam temperatures are reached. The high limit is
in the same area as the thermostat and must be reset.
Property Damage: Because the
high limit operates only when
abnormally high water
temperatures are present, it is important that a service
agent be contacted to determine the reason for the high
limit operation before resetting the high limit.
ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT
Personal Injury: The consumer
product safety commission
recommends temperatures of
130 ˚ F or lower setting the temperature higher will
increase the risk of scald injury.
Personal Injury: The water
passing out of the valve during
this check may be extremely hot.
Collect discharge in appropriate containers.
