on the thermostat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section

in this manual, see Figures 31 and 32.

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 (PILOT LIGHTING). It is adjustable and must

be reset to the desired temperature setting to reduce the risk of

scald injury. The mark (

) indicative of approximately 120°F

(49°C) is preferred starting point.

Turn the water temperature dial clockwise (

) to decrease

the temperature, or counterclockwise ( ) to increase the

temperature.

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

off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.

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 30°F (16.7°C). If you experience this

type of use you should consider using lower temperature

settings to reduce scald hazards.

Any water heater’s intended purpose is to heat water. Hot

water is needed for cleansing, cleaning, and sanitizing (bodies,

dishes, clothing). Untempered hot water can present a scald

hazard. Depending on the time element, and the people

involved (adults, children, elderly, infirm, etc.) scalding may occur

at different temperatures.

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 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 on page 6. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for

installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting

DRAFT HOOD OPERATION

Check draft hood operation by performing a worst case

depressurization of the building. With all doors and windows

closed, and with all air handling equipment and exhaust fans

operating such as furnaces, clothes dryers, range hoods and

bathroom fans, a match flame should still be drawn into the

draft hood of the water heater with its burner firing. If the flame

is not drawn toward the draft hood, shut off the water heater and

make necessary air supply changes to correct.

CONDENSATION

Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, some

condensate will form while the burner is on. A water heater may

appear to be leaking when in fact the water is condensation.

This usually happens when:

a. A new water heater is filled with cold water for the first time.

b. Burning gas produces water vapor in water heaters, particularly

high efficiency models where flue temperatures are lower.
