State Industries SHE 50 76N Manuel D’Utilisation

It is recommended that lower water temperatures be used to avoid 

the risk of scalding. It is further recommended, in all cases, that the 

water temperature be set for the lowest temperature which satisfies

your hot water needs. This will also provide the most energy efficient

operation of the water heater.

Short repeated heating cycles caused by small hot water uses can 

cause temperatures at the point of use to exceed the thermostat setting 

by up to 20°F (11°C). If you experience this type of use you should

consider using lower temperature settings to reduce scald hazards.

HOT WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot 

water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, 

clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and 

permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be 

permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, 

children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using

hot water from this heater fits into one of these groups or if there is a

local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the 

hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition 

to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your

hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall be used 

at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. 

Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores, 

see Figure 2. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for installation of

the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, 

in this manual, see Figure 26.

Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, or to draw their own 

bath water. Never leave a child or handicapped person unattended 

in a bathtub or shower.

The water heater should be located in an area where the general 

public does not have access.  If a suitable area is not available, a cover 

should be installed over the thermostat to prevent tampering.

The water temperature setting was factory set at the lowest temperature; 
Pressing  the  “COOLER”

  button decreases temperature and 

pressing the “HOTTER”    button increases the temperature.

Setting water heater temperature at 120°F (49°C) (Approx. “ ” mark

on temperature setting of gas valve) will reduce risks of scalds. Some

states or local codes require settings at specific lower temperatures.

To avoid any unintentional changes in water temperature settings, the 

control has a tamper resistant feature for changing the temperature 

setting. To change the temperature setting follow these instructions:

1. “Wake  Up”  the  temperature  indicators  by  holding  down  both

“COOLER”  and  “HOTTER”  temperature  adjustment  buttons  at

the same time for one second, see Figure 26. One or two of the 

temperature indicators will light up. These indicators will only 

remain on for 30 seconds if no further buttons are pressed. After 

30 seconds the control will go back to “Sleep” mode.

2. Release both of the temperature adjustment buttons.

 a. To decrease the temperature press and release the “COOLER” 

  button until the desired setting is reached.

 b. To increase the temperature press and release the “HOTTER” 

  button until the desired setting is reached.

NOTE: Holding down the button will not continue to lower or raise 

the temperature setting. The button must be pressed and released 

for each temperature change desired.

Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off 

the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
