in determining the proper water temperature for your home.

!DANGER: Households with small children, disabled,

or elderly persons may require a 120°F or lower gas control (thermostat) setting to prevent contact with “HOT” water.

Maximum water temperatures occur just after the burner has shut off. To find water temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the water stream and read the thermometer.(See page 17 and 18 for more details.)

The temperature of the water in the heater can be regulated by setting the temperature dial on the front of the gas control (thermostat). To comply with safety regulations the gas control(thermostat) was
