7.11 Thermostats and Controls

All Electric Residential Water Heaters feature automatic controls to regulate
heating elements. Surface mounted thermostats are used on this water heater. The
thermostats are pre-set to provide a water temperature of I 25°F to reduce the risk
of scald injury.
Care must be taken when using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain
appliances require high temperature hot water (such as dishwashers and
automatic clothes washers). By setting the thermostat on this water heater to
obtain increased temperature water required by these appliances, you may
create the potential for scald injury. To protect against injury, you should install an
ASME approved mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce point of
discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines. Such
valves are available from a local plumbing supplier. Please consult with a plumbing
professional.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE
 Make sure the thermostat is fl ush against the tank, the
terminal cover is in place, and the insulation is replaced.
Failure to do so can result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY
INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING: SCALD HAZARD
 Adjusting the thermostat past the 125°f bar on the
temperature dial will increase the risk of scald injury.
WARNING: SCALD HAZARD
 Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, or to draw
their own bath water. Never leave a child or handicapped
person unattended in a bathtub or shower.
Increasing the thermostat setting above the pre-set temperature may consume
excessive energy and also might cause the high-limit to shut off power to the water
heater under certain operating conditions.
Each water heater has built in Energy Cut Off devices(s). lf for any reason the water
temperature becomes excessively high, the high limit switch breaks the circuit to
the heating elements . Once the switch opens, it must be manually reset and the
cause of the over temperature condition must be corrected.To reset the high limit,
follow the written instructions shown on page 13.
