Operating the water heater.
Water Temperature Setting…
Maximum water temperatures occur just
after the burner has shut off. To determine
the water temperature, turn on a hot water
faucet and place a thermometer in the
water stream.
The reference mark "Low" represents an
approximate water temperature of 91°F.
The reference mark "Hot" represents an
approximate water temperature of 125°F.
The reference mark "A" represents an
approximate water temperature of 130°F
The reference mark "B" represents an
approximate water temperature of 140°F
The reference mark "C" represents an
approximate water temperature of 150°F
The reference mark "Very Hot" represents
an approximate water temperature of
155°F
A condition known as “stacking” or
“layering” can occur when a series of
short and frequent hot water draws are
taken.
The hottest temperature water will be at
the top of the tank, closest to the outlet
pipe delivering hot water to the home.
Stacking can cause this top layer of water
to be hotter than the water toward the
bottom of the tank near the Combination
Gas Control (Thermostat).
Therefore, always remember to test the
water temperature with your hand before
use and remember that hotter water
increases the risk of scald injury.
Also, always supervise young children or
others who are incapacitated.
The Combination Gas Control
(Thermostat) is constructed with a built
in safety shut-off device designed to shut
off the gas supply to the burner if the pilot
flame is extinguished for any reason.
The Combination Gas Control
(Thermostat) is also equipped with a
single use gas shut off device that will
shut off the gas supply to the burner if the
water heater exceeds normal operating
temperatures. Refer to the (Before You
Call For Service) section of this manual,
or contact your dealer.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or
the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the
manual gas control valve to the appliance.
If the water heater has been subjected to fire,
flood or physical damage, turn off the manual
gas (shut-off) valve, and do not operate the
water heater again until is has been checked by
a qualified service technician.
NOTICE: DO NOT use this appliance if
any part has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified installer or service agency
to replace a flooded water heater. DO
NOT attempt to repair the unit! It must be
replaced.
