Set Temperature Memory:
1. This model can memorize and save the last set temperature on the remote control with
“priority”.
2. If no remote control has “priority”, the set temperature of the unit will be the same as the
set temperature of the remote control which starts the water heater.
• This water heater contains an electronically controlled
thermostat. From the factory, the temperature range
is between 90°F and 140°F.
• The remote control is factory preset to 110°F.
• To turn the remote control ON or OFF, press the
POWER button for more than 3 seconds.
• To adjust the temperature to a required setting,
in“priority” mode, press the UP or DOWN temperature
button. Press and hold UP or DOWN to raise or lower
the temperature continuously.
• When the unit is in use, the set temperature can
increase to 122°F, but there is no limit to temperature
decrease. To increase the temperature more than
122°F, the water will need to be shut off first.
NOTICE: If inlet water temperature is high, and set temperature
is low, the actual temperature might be higher than the set
temperature, and vice versa..
DANGER: There is a hot water
scald potential if the temperature is
set too high. Households with small
children, disabled, or elderly persons
may require a 120°F. or lower
temperature setting to
prevent contact with HOT water.
Output temperature of water is regulated by setting
the
temperature on the front of the remote control.
Safety factors should be considered when selecting
the water temperature setting of the water heater’s
remote control. The remote control was set at 110°F
before the water heater was shipped from the factory.
This is the recommended starting point.
Water temperatures above 120°F can cause severe
burns or death from scalding. The thermostat is
adjusted to its lowest temperature position when
shipped from the factory.
Be sure to read and follow the warnings outlined in this
manual and on the label located on the water heater.
Mixing valves are available for reducing point of use
water temperature by mixing hot and cold water in
branch water lines.
Procedures for adjusting the thermostat for energy
efficient operation at the minimum water temperature
setting consistent with the consumer’s needs.
Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing
authority for further information. See page 4 for
details.

• The display will read the set temperature if the water
heater is not in use or there is no water flow. If the
water heater is in use or has water flow, the display
will read the actual temperature. To view the set
temperature in this condition, press UP or DOWN and
the set temperature will flash for 3 seconds.
• The hottest temperature water will be at the hot water
faucet closest to the water heater
• Always remember to test the water temperature with
your hand before use and remember that hotter water
increases the risk of scald injury.
• Always supervise young children or others who are
incapacitated.
• If the water heater has been subjected to fire, flood
or physical damage, turn off the manual gas shut-off
valve(s), and do not operate the
water heater again until it has been checked by
qualified personnel.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas
control valve to the appliance.
NOTICE: If the BATH control ls turned on, the temperature setting on the MAIN control
cannot be changed. The BATH control(s) will always have PRIORITY over the MAIN control.
