Water Temperature Setting…

Maximum water temperature occurs while the burner is on. To determine the water temperature, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the water stream. Water temperature at the faucet may vary depending on season and length of pipe from the water heater.

The factory setting of the remote control temperature range is between 100°F (38°C) and 120°F (49°C).

The remote control is factory preset to 100°F (38°C).

To turn the remote control ON or OFF, press the POWER button.

To adjust the temperature to a required setting, press the UP arrow temperature button.

Pressing the UP or DOWN temperature adjustment buttons will change the temperature set point.

The temperature set point on the remote control cannot be increased above 112°F (44°C) when a hot water faucet is in the open position.

Notice: The factory setting allows operating temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 120°F (49°C). Temperatures of up to 140°F (60°C) can be achieved with the MAIN (UMC-117) remote control and a dip switch adjustment. Only qualified service personnel should perform this adjustment. Only factory authorized remote control(s) should be used.

The hottest temperature water will be at the hot water faucet closest to the water heater.

Always remember to test the water temperature with your hand before use and remember that hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.

Always supervise young children or others who are incapacitated.

The water heater is equipped with a device that will shut off the gas supply to the burner if the water heater exceeds normal operating temperatures. Refer to the “Before You Call For Service” section located near the back of this manual, or contact your dealer.

!WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.

If the water heater has been subjected to fire, flood, physical damage, or has been under water, turn off the manual gas shut-off valve(s), and do not operate the water heater again until it has been checked by qualified personnel.

Notice: The water heater may not operate with a small water flow. In such case, increase the water flow. If water heater still does not operate and hot water faucet is completely open, increase the temperature setting on the remote control.

Notice: Display shows °F only.
