Thermostat Adjustments
On dual element models, both the upper and lower thermostats
have been factory set at hot (approximately 120°F) to reduce the
risk of scald injury.
The upper and lower thermostats are adjustable if a different
water temperature is desired. Read all warnings in the
_Temperature-Regulation" section before proceeding.
NOTE: It is not necessary to adjust the upper ther-
mostat. However, if it is adjusted above the factory
set point of 120°F (Hot), it is recommended that it
not be set higher than the lower thermostat setting.
To adjust the temperature setting for both upper and lower ther-
mostats.
