CONTROL THERMOSTAT
The water heater is supplied with an immersion thermostatic switch that is installed and wired at the factory. The thermostat can be adjusted through a range of 100° - 195° F and is adjustable with a flat tip screwdriver.
TEMPERATURE HIGH LIMIT SWITCH
A surface mounted high temperature cut-off switch with manual reset, factory set at 205° F is provided. In the event of an over-temperature condition, the thermostat will disengage the operating coils in the magnetic contactor(s). The high limit must be manually reset thereafter to restart the heater.

MAGNETIC CONTACTOR
The magnetic contactor(s) is a heavy-duty resistive load type rated for 100,000 cycles. The contactor supplies power to the heating element(s) based on the resistive load (non-inductive) of the heater only when the thermostatic switch is engaged, thereby pulling in the contacts until the desired temperature is reached. At this point, the contacts will drop out, which in turn disconnects power from the elements.
OUTER SHELL, INSULATION, AND SUPPORTS
The tank is encapsulated in 2-inches of high-density fiberglass insulation. The protective shell is constructed of galvaneel and is coated with a durable silver hammertone finish. NSF approved adjustable plastic legs are provided for support.
