"up" is usually to the left, or counter clockwise.

You could also upgrade, and get a cold water heater, which
is designed to turn cold water into hot water.

Hi,
You can turn up the dial to have desired water temp. And if
the tank
feels warm to touch, wrap it with insulating blanket to save
some energy.
