TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The temperature selector knob of the thermostat has been adjusted to 120°F when shipped from the factory.
NOTICE
The lower the temperature setting, the greater the energy efficiency, both to heat the water and to maintain the
storage temperature during standby periods. Lower water temperatures also extend tank life. Remember, no water
heating system will provide exact temperatures at all times. Allow a few days of operation at this setting to
determine the correct temperature setting consistent with the requirements for the installation.
CAUTION
This water heater, when set at a lower temperature setting is not capable of producing hot water of sufficient
temperature for sanitizing purposes.
During the winter season or any cold period, you may desire a higher temperature setting to adjust for the colder
incoming water. This adjustment, however, may cause additional condensation to form on the colder tank surface. This
does not mean the tank is leaking. During summer months, the warmer incoming water temperatures will benefit the
performance of your water heater and reduce the amount of condensation developed.
