The chart shown above may be used as a guide

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 thermostat

setting to prevent contact with “HOT” water.

NOTICE: Mixing valves should be installed to reduce the point of use water temperature by mixing hot and cold water in branch water lines. Contact a licensed installer or the local plumbing authority for further information.

The temperature of the water in the water heater can be regu- lated by setting the temperature dial of the adjustable surface mounted thermostat located behind the jacket access panel.

!DANGER: Burns from Hot Water and Steam - Use extreme care when opening relief valves, charging closed loop, and filling storage tank.

The electrical element booster thermostat has been factory set at 50°C (120°F) to reduce the risk of scald injury. Adjusting the thermostat to a higher setting is not recommended. Hotter water increases the potential for Hot Water Scalds.

This thermostat controls the water heater’s heating ele- ment only. (A separate ther- mostat should be utilized in monitoring the temperature from the collector).

To comply with safety reg- ulations the thermostat is factory set at 120° F or less where local codes require.

!DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for Hot Water SCALDS.
