WATER TEMPERATURE SETTING
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when selecting the water temperature
setting. Water temperatures above 125°F can cause severe burns or death from scalding. The thermostat
is adjusted to its lowest temperature position when shipped from the factory. Be sure to read and follow
the warnings outlined on the label pictured below.
Water temperature over 125°F can cause severe burns
instantly or death from scalds. Children, disabled and elderly
are at highest risk of being scalded. See instruction manual
before setting temperature at water heater. Feel water
before bathing or showering. Temperature limiting valves are

Water Temperature
The chart shown above may be used as a guide in
determining the proper water temperature for your
home.
DANGER: Households with small children, disabled,
or elderly persons may require a 120°F or lower
temperature setting to prevent contact with"HOT" water.
Maximum water temperature occurs while burner is on.
To find water temperature being delivered, turn on a
hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the water
stream and read the thermometer.
The temperature of the water at the outlet of the water
heater can be regulated by setting the temperature on
the Eccotemp Smart App (pg. 41-42) or by using the
included remote (pg. 40). The default temperature was
set at 110°F before it was shipped from the factory.
NOTICE: When this water heater is supplying
general purpose hot water requirements for use
by individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing
valve for reducing point of use water temperature
is recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury.
Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing
authority for further information.
NOTICE: The factory recommended operating
temperatures are between 90°F and 140°F.
