Temperature Regulation

Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water temperature in certain situations may vary up to 30°F higher or lower at the point of use such as, bathtubs, showers, sink, etc.

This means that when the temperature adjustment dial is set

at the mark approximating 120 ° F, the actual water tempera- ture at any hot water tap could be as high as 150°F or as low as 90°E

Turn the water temperature dial clockwise (ff"-_) to

decrease the temperature, or counterclockwise (_'-"_) to increase the temperature.

water is needed for cleaning (bodies, dishes, clothing). Hot water will present a scald hazard. Depending on the time ele- ment, and the people involved (normal adults, children, tod- dlers, elderly, infirm, etc.) scalding may occur at different temperatures.

Any water heater's intended purpose is to heat water. Hot

_,WARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are

intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy 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 c_roupsor if there is a local code or state law reqmrmg 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 sup- ply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instruc-

tions for installation of the valves. Before changing

the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual,

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-

tub or shower.

The thermostat of this water heater has been factory set at its lowest position, to reduce the risk of scald injury. It is adjustable and must be reset to the desired temperature set- ting. The mark (A) indicative of approximately 120°F is the preferred starting point. Some states have a requirement for a lower setting. If you need hotter water, follow directions for temperature adjustment, but beware of the warnings in this section.
