The thermostat dial is adjusted to approximately 120°F when shipped from the 
factory. When adjusting the thermostat, it should be remembered that lower 
temperature settings are more energy efficient.  The thermostat cover, to the right 
of the gas valve, must be removed when the thermostat is adjusted.  To adjust 
the thermostat turn the dial clockwise with a screwdriver until the minimum 
acceptable temperature is set.  It is suggested that the starting point setting not 
exceed the 120°F (49°C) or “HOT” setting on the thermostat.  
 

 

Before adjusting thermostat(s), turn off power supply to the water heater.

 

 
 
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.  Scalding may occur within five (5) 
seconds at a temperature setting of 135°F (57.3°C).  To protect against hot 
water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system.  This 
valve will reduce point of discharge water temperatures by mixing cold and hot 
water in branch water lines.  A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing 
authority should be consulted. 
 
Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent 
overheating.  Should overheating occur, turn off the electrical supply to the water 
heater and contact a qualified service technician.
