The thermostat of this water heater has been factory set at its

lowest position, to reduce the risk of scald injury. It is

adjustable and must be reset to the desired temperature set-

ting. The mark (k) indicative of approximately 120°F is the

preferred starting point. Some states have a requirement for a

lower setting. If you need hotter water, follow directions for

temperature adjustment, but beware of the warnings in this

section.
