        "content": "The button on the temperature control knob of the Hansgrohe Ecostat S Thermostatic Trim (with Volume Control or Diverter) is a **safety stop (also called a tempered or anti-scald button)**. Its purpose is to help prevent the water temperature from being accidentally turned too high, thereby reducing the risk of burns. ([supplyhouse.com](https://www.supplyhouse.com/Hansgrohe-04230000-Ecostat-Thermostatic-Trim-S-with-Volume-Control-Chrome-04230000?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### How it works\n\n- **Default limit:** The valve is set so that the knob cannot be turned beyond a certain temperature\u2014typically about **100 \u00b0F (\u2248 38 \u00b0C)**\u2014unless the safety button is pressed. ([easyplumbing.com](https://easyplumbing.com/products/hg04231usa?utm_source=openai))  \n- **To exceed the limit:** If you want hotter water, you must **press and hold** the button while continuing to turn the temperature control knob past the default safety stop. ([supplyhouse.com](https://www.supplyhouse.com/Hansgrohe-04230000-Ecostat-Thermostatic-Trim-S-with-Volume-Control-Chrome-04230000?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Why it\u2019s there:** It\u2019s designed as a protective measure\u2014especially helpful in homes with children or where someone might accidentally set the shower to scalding temperatures. It ensures that higher temperatures are only used intentionally. ([easyplumbing.com](https://easyplumbing.com/products/hg04231usa?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want to, I can also pull up the specific temperature-setting limits or show you how to adjust them (if adjustable) for your exact model."
