NOTICE: Check local codes for the maximum water temperature setting allowed when used in nursing homes, schools, day care centers, and all other public applications.
NOTICE: If a newly installed unit with a temperature controller has not been powered for at least 6 hours then the temperature will return to the default setting of 104° F (40° C) if power is interrupted.
NOTICE: There may be a variation between the temperature displayed on the temperature controller and the temperature at the tap due to weather conditions or the length of pipe to the water heater.

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve should be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water
heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturer's instructions
for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, Using the lowest hot water temperature that meets your needs will also provide the most energy efficient operation of the water heater.
Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a child or handicapped person unattended in a bathtub or shower.
The thermostat on the water heater has been factory set at 120°F, to reduce the risk of scald injury. It is adjustable and can be reset to the desired temperature setting. Some states have a requirement for a lower setting. If you need hotter water, follow direction for temperature adjustment, but beware of the warnings in this section.
