SETTING THE THERMOSTAT
The mini tank water heater is equipped with an adjustable thermostat that once set will automatically control
water temperature. The red indicator lamp remains illuminated while the water is being heated. If the water
in the tank is at the desired temperature the lamp will NOT be illuminated.
The temperature adjusting knob will increase the temperature by turning the knob clockwise and decrease
the water temperature by turning the knob counter clockwise.
When not being used for a lengthy period of time, you can conserve energy by reducing the water
temperature setting.
FREEZE PROTECTION
When the water heater is not being used for an extended period of time and there is a risk of freezing,
disconnect power and drain the water heater.
