	The maximum mixed water temperature is set at 109˚F at the factory.
	This setting can be changed if desired.

Remove the TEMPERATURE LIMIT STOP (4) (H shaped Black Plastic part). Reinstall it at the desired notch as indicated in the diagram to limit the maximum

mixed water temperature to 104˚F or 112˚F.

For 100˚F adjustment, turn the water supply on. Turn KNOB MOUNT (3) until the spout temperature is 100˚F. Check that arrow marking A on the KNOB MOUNT (3) still points upward after adjusting the thermostat to 100˚F. If not, pull out the RED LOCKING DEVICE (5). Remove KNOB MOUNT (3) without turning by sliding out as indicated by the arrow.

If the system is delivering all Hot or all Cold and no mixed water the pipes are probably transposed. See step 3 for TRANSPOSED SUPPLY PIPING.
