I would take it back.

I would suggest looking into another heater. I have a LOT of info about these heaters failing. In many cases, the heater stuck on and almost cooked the tank.

I wouldn't ever trust a built-in heater's thermostat. Just find a heater that can get hot, get enough of them and control them with something reliable.
