Thermostat Adjustment - Bradford White URG2PDV50H6N Manual

Thermostat Adjustment

The thermostat dial is adjusted to approximately 120°F (49°C) when shipped
from the factory. When adjusting the thermostat, it should be remembered that
lower temperature settings are more energy efficient. To adjust the thermostat
turn the dial clockwise until the minimum acceptable temperature is set. It is
suggested that the starting point setting not exceed the 120°F (49°C) or "HOT"
setting on the thermostat.

DANGER
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5
seconds at a temperature setting of 140°F (60°C). To protect against hot
water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system.
This valve will reduce point of discharge water temperatures by mixing cold
and hot water in branch water lines. A licensed plumbing professional or
local plumbing authority should be consulted.
Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent
overheating. Should overheating occur, turn off the electrical supply to the
water heater and contact a qualified service technician.
