then the temperature will return to the
default seng of 104° F (40° C) if power is
interrupted.

DANGER
Hot water can be dangerous, especially for infants or children, the elderly,
or inrm. There is hot water scald potenal if the thermostat is set too high.
Water temperatures over 125° F (52° C) can cause severe burns or scalding
resulng in death.
Hot water can cause rst degree burns with exposure for as lile as:
3 seconds at 140° F (60° C)
20 seconds at 130° F (54° C)
8 minutes at 120° F (49° C)
Test the temperature of the water before placing a child in the bath or
shower.
Do not leave a child or an inrm person in the bath unsupervised.
This water heater requires a minimum ow rate to operate. This rate can be found on the specicaon page in
this manual. In some cases when you are not geng hot water or if the water alternates between hot and cold,
it is due to the water ow being below or close to the minimum ow rate. Increasing the ow rate should
resolve these problems in these cases.
If you are experiencing issues with higher temperature sengs, then reduce the temperature seng. Selecng a
temperature closer to that which is actually used at the faucet will increase the amount of hot water being
delivered to the faucet, due to less cold water mixing at the xture.
