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

temperature at any hot water tap could be as high as 150°F or as low as 90°F.

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

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

The thermostat of this water heater hasbeen factory set at its lowest position, to reduce the risk of scald injury. It is adjustable and must be reset to the desired temperature setting. Read all warnings in the instruction manual and on the water heater before proceeding

Turn the water temperature dial clockwise ( Z_"_k) to

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