There are several ways to turn down the thermostat on a water heater. Unfortunately, many models have different ways of doing this. On top the side of the water heater should be a knob that can be turned to the desired temperature. If you don't see this device, check your owner's manual for more specific directions.

Midway down the side of the tank there is a device called an aquastat. It has numbers progressively increasing from left to right. These are the settings that the aquastat's contacts will open when the water temperature is reached shutting the tank off. It is like a thermostat but the sensing element is inside the tank and is surrounded by water. Generally all operate on the same principal, turn the set-point knob clockwise increases the temperature setting and turning the set-point knob counter clockwise decreased the temperature setting.
Typically, you can turn down the thermostat on your hot water heater by locating the temperature dial on the unit and adjusting it to a lower temperature setting. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety precautions when making any adjustments to your hot water heater. If you're unsure or uncomfortable doing it yourself, consider contacting a professional for assistance.
