Inspect the burner flames through the viewport and 

compare them to the drawings in Figure 18. A properly 

operating burner should produce a soft blue flame. Blue 

tips with yellow inner cones are satisfactory. The tips 

of the flame may have a slight yellow tint. The flame 

should not be all yellow or have a sharp blue-orange 

color. Contaminated air may cause an orange colored 

flame. Contact a qualified technician if the flame is not 

satisfactory.

IMPORTANT: Should overheating occur or the gas supply 

fails to shut off, turn off the water heater’s manual gas 

control valve and call a qualified technician.

Water temperature over 125°F (52°C)    
can cause servere burns instantly 
resulting  in severe  injury or death.

Children, the elderly, and the 
physically or mentally disabled  are at 
highest risk for scald injury.

Feel water before bathing or 
showering.

Temperature limiting valves are 
available.

Read instruction manual for safe 
temperature setting.

Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water 

temperature in certain situations may vary up to 30°F (16.7 

°C) higher or lower at the point of use such as, bathtubs, 

showers, sink, etc. 
HOTTER 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 in your home 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, should 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 14.  Follow manufacturer’s 

instructions for installation of the valves.  Before changing 

the factory setting on the thermostat see Figure 19. Using 

the lowest hot water temperature that meets your needs 

will also provide the most energy efficient operation of the 

water heater.
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.  
NOTE:  A water temperature range of 120°F-140°F 

(49°C-60°C) is recommended by most dishwasher 

manufacturers.
The thermostat of this water heater has been factory set 

at its lowest position. It is adjustable and must be reset to 

the desired temperature setting to reduce the risk of scald 

injury.  The index bar (Robsertshaw) and   mark (White 

Rodgers) are indicative of approximately 120°F (49°C) 

and are the preferred starting points, see Figure 19. Some 

states have a requirement for a lower setting. 
White Rodgers Valves:
Turn the water temperature dial clockwise ( 

 ) to 

decrease the temperature, or counterclockwise ( 

  ) to 

increase the temperature.
Robertshaw Valves:
Turn the water temperature dial clockwise ( 

 ) to 

increase the temperature, or counterclockwise ( 

  ) to 

decrease the temperature.
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, 

turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
