your needs. NOTE: This water heater, when set at a lower temperature setting, is not capable of producing hot water of
sufficient temperature for sanitizing purposes.
During the winter season or any cold period, you may desire a higher temperature setting to adjust for the colder incoming
water. This adjustment, however, may cause additional condensation to form on the cooler tank surface. This does not
mean the tank is leaking. During summer months, the warmer incoming water temperatures will benefit the performance of
your water heater and reduce the amount of condensation developed.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT (24V CONTROL SYSTEM)
The water heater temperature setting is adjusted by using the control display mounted to the front of the control panel of
the water heater. The water heater thermostat is set at the lowest setpoint of 70°F when shipped from the factory. The
control display shows the temperature setpoint in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C), and the status of the
water heater ("Idle" or "Heating"). If the water heater is functioning normally, the display will also show "Operational".
For energy efficient operation of your water heater, the suggested initial temperature setting is 120°F (49

Condensation does not mean your tank is leaking. Over 40% of reported tank leaks on installation are proven to be
condensation. To avoid unnecessary expense and inconvenience, make sure the tank is leaking before calling a service
person.
