high water temperature limit control. The temperature
limit control has a fixed limit setting of 200°F (93°C). If
water temperature exceeds the set point, the limit will
break the control circuit and shut down the appliance.
The limit control will only be reset after the water
temperature has cooled below the set point of the limit.
The high water temperature limit control is mounted in the
outlet side of the front header.
