ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE ON THE GAS CONTROL VALVE THERMOSTAT

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 inﬁ rm, or physically/mentally handicapped.

If anyone using hot water in your home ﬁ ts 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 satisﬁ es 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. Follow manufacturer’s instructions

for installation of the valves. Before changing the

factory setting on the thermostat see following ﬁ gure.

Using the lowest hot water temperature that meets

your needs will also provide the most energy efﬁ cient

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 the ﬁ gure below. 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.
