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
