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 off and rotate counterclockwise
to the desired number to limit hot water temperature. Use ARROW (3) on
CARTRIDGE (4) and NUMBERS (5) on HOT LIMIT STOP (1) for indication.
