HOT LIMIT SAFETY STOP ADJUSTMENT

By restricting handle rotation and limiting the amount of hot water allowed to mix with the cold, the HOT LIMIT SAFETY STOP
reduces risk of accidental scalding. To set the maximum hot water temperature of your faucets, all you need to do is adjust
the setting on the HOT LIMIT SAFETY STOP.

Use a flat blade screwdriver or your fingers to pull up and rotate red HOT LIMIT SAFETY STOP (1). Follow Step "A" or "B" to
adjust min./max. discharge temperature. "0" being the hottest to "7" the coldest temperature setting. Factory set at "0".

and MANIFOLD (5).
