Operating The Temperature Control System - Kenmore 153.330250 Use & Care Manual

Operating the Temperature Control System
Water Temperature Adjustment
The water temperature setting can be adjusted from 55°F
to 155°F. Turn the Gas Control/Temperature Knob to the
desired setting/temperature. See Figure 22 on page 20.
NOTE: The temperatures indicated are approximates. The
actual temperature of the heated water may vary.
Operating Modes and Settings
• Standard Mode - The controller adjusts the water heater
to maintain the temperature set by the user.
• Vacation Setting - The Vacation Setting (VAC) sets
the controller at approximately 55°F. This setting is
recommended when the water heater is not in use for a
long period of time. This effectively turns the controller
temperature setting down to a temperature that prevents
the water in the water heater from freezing while still
conserving energy.
