Water Temperature Setting

Maximum water temperatures occur just after

the burner has shut off. To determine the water

temperature, turn on a hot water faucet and place a

thermometer in the water stream.

The reference mark p on the rim of the

temperature dial, represents an approximate water

temperature of 120°F.

The reference

①

mark represents an

approximate water temperature of 130°F.

Each reference mark above or below these points

indicates an approximate change of 10°F.

To adjust the temperature, turn the temperature

dial to an initial setting of 120°F.

A condition known as “stacking” or “layering”

can occur when a series of short and frequent hot

water draws are taken.

The hottest temperature water will be at the top of

the tank, closest to the outlet pipe delivering hot

water to the home.

Stacking can cause this top layer of water to be

hotter than the water toward the bottom of the tank

near the gas control (thermostat).

Therefore, always remember to test the water

temperature with your hand before use and

remember that hotter water increases the risk of

scald injury.

Also, always supervise young children or others

who are incapacitate

The gas control (thermostat) is constructed with a

built in safety shut-off device designed to shut off

the gas supply to the burner if the pilot flame is

extinguished for any reason.

The gas control (thermostat) is also equipped with

a single use gas shut off device that will shut off

the gas supply to the burner if the water heater

exceeds normal operating temperatures. Refer to

the (Before You Call For Service) section of this

manual, or contact your dealer.

WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas

supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas valve

to the appliance.

If the water heater has been subjected to fire, flood or

physical damage, turn off the manual gas (shut-off)

valve, and do not operate the water heater again until it

has been checked by a qualified service technician.

NOTICE: Do not use this appliance if any part

has been under water. Immediately call a qualified

installer or service agency to replace a flooded water

heater. Do Not attempt to repair the unit! It must

be replaced.
