    Hi... There should be a little box almost like an electric box on the outside of your water heater. There should be a little hole big enough for a screw driver with numbers that go up and down. That is the temperature for the water. The lower you put it the lower the temperature is. Use a screwdriver to turn it to a comfortable temperature. A "Kid Safe" temperature I think would be about 115 degrees.
