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 120oF. Or lower temperature setting to prevent contact with HOT water.
Maximum water temperature occurs while burner is on. To find water temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the water stream and read the thermometer.
The temperature of the water at the outlet of the water heater can be regulated by setting the temperature on control panel . The control panel was set at 110oF before it was shipped from the factory.
The illustration to the bottom left illustrates the control panel and how to adjust the water temperature.
Notice: When this water heater is supplying general purpose hot water requirements for use by individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve for reducing point of use water temperature is recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for further information.
Notice: The factory setting allows operating temperatures between 90oF and 140oF.
