ADJUST HOT LIMIT STOP

■

By restricting HANDLE rotation and limiting the

amount of hot water allowed to mix with the

cold, the HOT LIMIT SAFETY STOP (1) reduces

risk of accidental scalding. To set the maximum

hot water temperature of your faucet, you

need to adjust the setting on the HOT LIMIT

SAFETY STOP (1).

■

Turn CARTRIDGE STEM (2) to the OFF position

(coldest setting) before making adjustment to

HOT LIMIT STOP (1). Use a flat blade

screwdriver to pry free the HOT LIMIT SAFETY

STOP (1).

Pull forward and rotate counterclockwise

one number to limit hot water temperature.

Use ARROW (3) on CARTRIDGE (4) and

NUMBERS (5) on HOT LIMIT STOP (1) for

indication.
