160°F and 180°F control 

 

The gas control knob is set to the “OFF” position when shipped from the 
factory.  Remember that lower temperature settings are more energy 
efficient.  Adjust the temperature by turning the gas control knob.  It is 
suggested that the starting point setting not exceed approximately 120°F 
(48.9°C) or “Hot” setting on the thermostat. 

 

 
 

 

 
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.  Scalding may occur within five 
(5) seconds at a temperature setting of 140

F (60



C).  To protect against hot 

water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system.  
This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature 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 or the gas supply fail to 
shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a 
qualified service technician. 
Note:  Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, condensate will 
form on the cool tank surface and drops of water will fall on the hot burner 
and combustion chamber surfaces producing a “sizzling” noise.  
Condensation is normal and does not indicate a leak.  It will disappear 
when the tank becomes heated.
