Temperature Regulation

AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are

intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a

temperature which will satisfy clotheswashing, 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 handi-

capped. 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

grecautions. In addition to using the lowest possi-

le 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 manufacturers instructions for installation of

the valves,

Programming the Thermostat

Before programming the settings on the thermostat, read the"Temperature Regulation" section again.

This new programmable thermostat technology makes it pos- sible for you to enjoy all the benefits of hot water whenever you need it and save the cost of heating water when you don't

need it.

Simple and easy to use, the programmable control has three basic modes of operation:

1. Manual mode - a set and forget operation.

2. Vacation mode- for those occasions when the residence is unoccupied and there is no need for hot water.

3.Programmable mode - can be programmed for up to 24 hour a day, 7 days a week with 4 set periods a day.

Override is an optional setting that allows for temperature adjustments during a given time period. This setting reverts back to the previous mode of operation upon completion of the designated override time period.

AWARNING

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 bath- I

tub or shower. ]1

Your new programmable control comes complete with a day of

the week and digital clock display. These settings are changed using the day and time keys on the control pad. To adjust day

The constant display screen shows the water temperature "WATER TEMP" inside the tank. It is continually on dis- play until interrupted by a reprogram procedure, but reappears after 20 seconds of inactivity.

MODE CHANGE

To change the mode-of-operation depress the "MODE" but- ton at the bottom of the control. The mode display will change by scrolling from top to bottom with the Auto mode appearing on the top of the column, followed by the Manual mode in the middle and finally the Vacation mode at the bottom. Continue to change between mode settings by depressing the "MODE" button until the desired setting is displayed.
