TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
The front panel temperature control allows the customer to set the hot water supply temperature and will
display certain fault functions of the water heater if there is a malfunction. Residential models can also
have the option of up to two additional bathroom temperature controls located near bathroom fixtures for
convenient control of bath and shower temperatures.
Residential Models:
The Main Control is integrally mounted to project through the front panel of the water heater. The
adjustment range for the Main Control is 96-160°F. This is the only control capable of temperature
setpoints greater than 120°F.
DANGER
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5 seconds at a temperature
setting of 135°F (57°C). To protect against hot water injury, install a mixing valve in the water system.
This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch water lines.
A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing authority should be consulted.
CAUTION
This water heater, when set at a lower temperature setting is not capable of producing hot water of
sufficient temperature for sanitizing purposes.
Always check water temperature by hand before entering the shower or bath. The temperature may have
been changed.
Test the temperature of the water with your hand or elbow before placing a child in the bath or shower.
Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.
NOTICE
This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent overheating. Should overheating
occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a
qualified service agency.
NOTICE
The lower the temperature setting, the greater the energy efficiency to heat the water. Lower water
temperatures also extend the heat exchanger life. Remember, no water heating system will provide
exact temperatures at all times. Allow a few days of operation at this setting to determine the correct
temperature setting consistent with the requirements for the installation.
In addition, residential models may have one (1) optional Bath Control (P/N 239-44507-00) and one (1)
Secondary Bath Control (P/N 239-44508-00) installed in bathrooms to control the temperature for
showers and sinks. Both of these controls have setpoint ranges of 96-120°F. When these controls are
used, depressing the Priority Button will override the Main Control and display the setpoint of the Bath
Control in use. Both the remote Bath Controls and the front panel Main Control will display fault codes in
the event the water heater needs service.
NOTICE
Only one of each type of remote temperature control can be connected to one residential EVERHOT®
water heater (i.e., Installations with two Main Controls, or two Bath Controls, or two Secondary Bath
Controls will not function properly.
