Operating Instructions
WATER TEMPERATURE SETTING
Output temperature of water can be regulated by
the following options: Remote control and Eccotemp
SMARTHOME mobile APP.
Safety factors should be considered when selecting the
water temperature setting of the water heater.The water
heater was set at 118°F before it was shipped from the
factory. This is the recommended starting point.
Water temperatures above 120°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 in this manual and on the label located on the water heater.
Mixing valves are available for reducing point of use water temperature by mixing hot and cold water in branch
water lines.
Procedures for adjusting the thermostat for energy efficient operation at the minimum water temperature setting
consistent with the consumer's needs.
Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for further information. See page 5 for details.
DANGER: There is a hot water scald potential if the temperature is set too high. Households
with small children, disabled, or elderly persons may require a 120°F or lower temperature setting
to prevent contact with HOT water.
PRESET TEMPERATURE:
The Eccotemp SHLX-LP/NG models are AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE
CONTROLLED water heaters. Select one of the preset temperatures on the
SHLXs by using the Eccotemp SMARTHOME mobile app, and then adjust
your sink/shower water temperature at the source/faucet. The following
preset temperatures are:
LOW - 95°F COMFORT - 110°F
HIGH - 120°F COMMERCIAL - 130°F.
The SHLX Series is a flow activated water heater and should maintain at
least 0.7 GPM to activate and 0.6 GPM to maintain activation.
AUTOMATIC VS. MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The SHLX Series is an automatic temperature controlled tankless water
heater. Below explains the differences between an automatic and manual
temperature controlled tankless water heater. For additional questions
please visit support.eccotemp.com.
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
The water heater will self-adjust temperature according
to what is being requested at the output water source
(sink or shower). It also will regulate the temperature
automatically according to how many applications are
being used at the same time. Temperature doesn't have to
be reset after each use.
WARNING! Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas
control valve to the water heater.

MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
You must adjust the temperature manually each time you
use the water heater. The temperature must be adjusted
according to the amount of applications being used at the
same time due to the fluctuation of pressure.
NOTICE! If inlet water temperature is too high, and
!
set temperature is low, the actual temperature might
be higher than the set temperature, and vice versa.
