  1. Power On/Off: Press the power button to turn the unit on or off.
  2. Set Temperature: Use the up and down arrow buttons on the display to adjust your desired water temperature. The maximum temperature is 125°F.
  3. Monitor Temperature: The LED display will show both the set temperature and the actual output water temperature.
  4. Continuous Hot Water: Once activated, the unit will provide continuous hot water at the set temperature, as long as the flow rate is within its capacity.

Note on Multiple Fixtures: While designed for continuous hot water, simultaneous use of multiple high-flow fixtures (e.g., two showers and a washing machine) may temporarily reduce the output temperature, especially in colder climates. Adjusting the flow rate at the fixture can help maintain desired temperatures.
