REMOTE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
The supplied Remote Main Control allows the customer to control the hot water supply temperature and
will display certain fault codes in the event the water heater needs servicing. If used without the Remote
Main Control connected, the residential models (IGE-199R-10N,10X) have a fixed temperature setting of
120°F and the commercial models (IGE-199C-5N, 5X) have a fixed temperature setting of 140°F.
Residential Models:
The Main Remote Control inside the carton is intended for installation in the kitchen, utility, or laundry
area of a home. The adjustment range for the main control is 96-160°F. This is the only control capable
of temperature setpoints greater than 120°F.
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5 seconds at a temperature
setting of 135°F (57°C). To protect against hot water injury, install a mixing valve in the water system.
This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch water lines.
A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing authority should be consulted.
NOTICE
This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent overheating. Should overheating
occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a
qualified service agency.
CAUTION This water heater, when set at a lower temperature setting is not capable of producing hot water of
sufficient temperature for sanitizing purposes.
Always check water temperature by hand before entering the shower or bath. The temperature may have
been changed.
Test the temperature of the water with your hand or elbow before placing a child in the bath or shower.
Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.
In addition, residential models may have one (1) optional Bath Control (P/N: 239-44507-00) and one (1)
Secondary Bath Control (P/N: 239-44508-00) installed in bathrooms to control the temperature for
showers and sinks. Both of these controls have setpoint ranges of 96-120°F. When these controls are
used, depressing the Priority Button will override the Main Remote Control and display the setpoint of the
Bath Control in use. Both the remote Bath Controls and the Main Remote Control will display fault codes
in the event the water heater needs service.
NOTICE
Only one of each type of remote temperature control can be connected to one residential EVERHOT®
water heater (i.e., Installations with two Main Controls, or two Bath Controls, or two Secondary Bath
Controls will not function properly.
Before installing the remote controls, determine the most convenient locations(s). When deciding on the
best location for the remote controls, please consider the following items:

2. Avoid locations where the control(s) will become hot, such as over the stove, near the oven, or
other heat sources.
3. Avoid direct sunlight. (The digital readout can be difficult to read in direct sunlight).
4. Avoid areas where the remote can be splashed with cooking water, oil, or sauce.
5. The remote control operates with low voltage, 12 volts DC.
