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, all you need to
do is 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.
