Diagnostic Code Chart: Electronic Thermostat (ET)
Refer to the table below and on the following
page.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to adjust the
thermostat, read the "Water Temperature Regulation"
section on page 16.
The Electronic Thermostat (ET) is designed so
that it may control the water heater without the
optional Assurelink
™
Controller being operated.
See page 17.
If the instructions are not clear, contact a qualifi ed
