Thermostat Adjustments

Thermostat is factory set for proper operating temperature of 197°F to 203°F with the adjustment Knob set to the
maximum clockwise position. If field adjustments are needed proceed as follows:
To DECREASE temperature, turn the control shaft slightly to the left COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
To INCREASE temperature, proceed as follows: With the control knob ALREADY TURNED TO ITS MAXIMUM
CLOCKWISE POSITION, locate the small, slotted ADJUSTMENT SCREW inside the hollow shaft. By using a
narrow blade screwdriver
engage the slotted adjustment screw and turn it an 1/8 of a turn slowly to
the left (counterclockwise) until a click is heard and the Green Ready Light goes OFF.
NOTE: Measure the water temperature at the head with the spray head removed in order to capture a solid
stream of hot water. DO NOT forget to REPLACE spray head afterwards.
In HIGH ALTITUDE locations, (5000 ft. above sea level) the thermostat setting will have to be lowered to
prevent boiling.
MAINTENANCE TIPS.
1. Remove and clean spray head at least once a week. In hard water areas, inspect and clean every other day.
2. If excessive build up of lime is present, de-lime or replace the heating tank.
