The temperature inside the water heater can be adjusted by turning the internal thermostat up or down:
1. Turn off power supply to the water heater
2. Remove electrical junction box cover
3. Adjust the temperature on the thermostat – see user manual
4. Refit the junction box cover before turning power supply back on.
NOTE: It is not recommended to set the temperature below 55°C due to danger of bacterial growth inside the water heater.
Thermostats in OSO products have an emergency cut-off which will activate if the temperature in the water heater gets too high or the water heater is exposed to high power input caused by lightning strikes, power supply surges etc. To reset the thermostat (see manual):
1. Turn off power supply to the water heater
2. Remove electrical junction box cover
3. Press the ‘RESET’ button on the upper part of the thermostat. A distinct ‘click’ should be heard if the cut-off has been activated.
4. Refit the junction box cover before turning power supply back on.
If the emergency cut-off activates repeatedly without any of the power input problems mentioned above occurring the thermostat might need replacing. Contact authorised installer.
