INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
CONGRATULATIONS! You are now ready to use your water
heater. Run the hot water at a nearby sink and evaluate the hot
water temperature. Make any temperature adjustment using the
section below:
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT:
The water heater is equipped with an adjustable thermostat that once
set will automatically control water temperature. The red indicator lamp
remains illuminated while the water is being heated. If the water in the
tank is at the desired temperature the lamp will NOT be illuminated.
The temperature adjusting knob will increase the temperature by turning
the knob clockwise and decrease the water temperature by turning the
knob counter clockwise.
When not being used for a lengthy period of time, you can conserve
energy by reducing the water temperature setting.
SETTING THE FREEZE PROTECTION:
When the water heater is not being used for an extended period of time
and there is a risk of freezing, either unplug and drain the water heater
OR turn the thermostat knob to the snowflake position to guard against
freezing. This position will keep the internal water temperature above
the freezing point. See photo below.
