The temperature of the water in the storage tank can
be regulated by using the VERSA IC Control. To com-
ply with safety regulations, the control is set at 125°F
when shipped from the factory.
To adjust the water temperature, follow the instruction
for the operation of the control starting on page 35 of
this manual.
heater’s burner has shut off. To determine the water
temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water fau-
cet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream
and read the thermometer.

NOTE:
When this water heater is supplying
general purpose hot water for use by individuals, a
thermostatically-controlled mixing valve for reducing
point of use water temperature is recommended to
reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed
plumber or the local plumbing authority for further
information.
CAUTION:
Hotter water increases the risk of
scalding! There is a hot water scald potential if the
thermostat is set too high.
