RESETTING THE HIGH LIMIT SWITCH:
For various reasons the high limit safety shut off switch will occasionally shut
the water heater down. This shut down will occur when water temperatures
exceed 190F. Power is automatically turned off to the heating element. The
shut off device may activate as a result of a power outage or an electrical
storm.
NOTE: Do not attempt to reset the high limit switch without first allowing the
water heater to cool down the high temperature water inside the heater.
WARNING: Do not tamper with the reset button to override overheating shut
down.
1. Turn off the power switch and disconnect the water heater from the
power supply.
2. Drain and remove the water heater. (see page 12)
3. Remove the bottom panel of the water heater.
4. Locate the high limit reset button.
5. Depress the small red button in the center of the junction box, replace
the bottom panel and place the water heater back into service.
NOTE: A lower temperature setting saves energy and reduces the risk of
scalding.
CAUTION!: Call a technician if the high limit needs to be reset frequently.
