NOTE: During low demand periods when hot water is not
being used, a lower thermostat setting will reduce energy
losses and may satisfy your normal hot water needs. If hot
water use is expected to be more than normal, a higher
thermostat setting may be required to meet the increased demand. When leaving your home for extended periods
(vacations, etc.) turn the temperature dial to its lowest
setting. This will maintain the water at low temperatures
with minimum energy losses and prevent the tank from
freezing during cold weather.
Water Temperature Adjustment
The water temperature setting can be adjusted from 70°F to
160°F. Turn the Gas Control/Temperature Knob to the desired
setting/temperature.
NOTE: The temperatures indicated are approximates. The actual
temperature of the heated water may vary.
Operating Modes and Settings
• Standard Mode - The controller adjusts the water
heater to maintain the temperature set by the user.
• Vacation Setting - The Vacation Setting (VAC) sets
the controller at approximately 70°F. This setting is
recommended when the water heater is not in use for a
long period of time. This effectively turns the controller
temperature setting down to a temperature that
prevents the water in the water heater from freezing
while still conserving energy.
