State Industries Commercial Gas Water Heater guide

Temperature Regulation

Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water temperature in certain situations may vary up to 30°F high- er or lower at the point of use such as, bathtubs, showers, sink, etc.

This means that when the temperature adjustment dial is set at the mark approximating 120°F, the actual water tem- perature at any hot water tap could be as high as 150°F or as low as 90°F.

Turn the water temperature dial clockwise ( ) to

increase the temperature, or counterclockwise ( ) to decrease the temperature.

Any water heater’s intended purpose is to heat water. Hot water is needed for cleaning, (bodies, dishes, clothing). Hot water will present a scald hazard. Depending on the time element, and the people involved (normal adults, children, toddlers, elderly, infirm, etc.) scalding may occur at differ- ent temperatures.

WARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intend- ed to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physical- ly/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible tem- perature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, some type of tempering device, such as a mixing valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. A qualified plumber should be consulted. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory set- ting on the thermostat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section in this manual.

▲HOT– Is a thermostat setting of approximate 120°F which will supply hot water at the most eco- nomical temperatures. The temperature adjustment knob can be turned lower than “HOT” if desired.

A– Is a thermostat setting of approximately 140°F.

B– Is a thermostat setting of approximately 150°F.

C– Is a thermostat setting of approximately 160°F.

D–Is a thermostat setting of approximately 170°F.

VERY HOT– Is a thermostat setting of approximately 180°F. It is recommended that the dial be set lower whenever possible.

NOTE: Water temperature range of 120°–140°F recom- mended by most dishwasher manufacturers.

WARNING

Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a child or hand- icapped person unattended in a bathtub or shower.

The thermostat of this water heater has been factory set at its lowest position, to reduce the risk of scald injury. It is adjustable and must be reset to the desired temperature set- ting. The mark (▲) HOT which is indicative of approxi- mately 120°F is the preferred starting point. Some states have a requirement for a lower setting. If you need hotter water, follow directions for temperature adjustment, but beware of the warnings in this section.

WARNING

Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn “OFF” the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
