valve, or have any reducing couplingsor other restrictions.
Must not be pluggedor blocked.

Must be of material listedfor hot water distribution.
Must be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both

the temperature-pressure relief valve, and the discharge
pipe.

Must terminate at an adequate drain.

Must not have anyvalve between the relief valveand tank.

_(_WARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Before removing

any access panels or servicing the water heater, make

sure the electrical supply to the water heater is turned
"off". Failure to do this could result in death, serious bod-

ily injury, or property damage.

AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are
intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem-

perature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing,
dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and
permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are
more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than

others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or
physlcallylmentally handicapped. If anyone using hot

water in your home fits into one of these groups or if
there is a local code or state law requiring a certain tem-

perature water at the hot water tap, then you must take

special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possi-

ble temperature setting that satisfies your hot water
needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall be used at

the hot water taps used by these people or at the water

heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or
hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for

installation of the valves. Before changing the factory set-

ting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature

Regulation" section in this manual

_WARNING

WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE
ONLY: This water heater isequipped for one type voltage
only. Check the rating plate near the bottom access panel
for the correct voltage. DO NOT use this water heater

with any voltage other than the one shown on the model

rating plate. Failure to use the correct voltage can cause

problems which can result in death, serious bodily injury,
or property damage, if you have any questions or doubts

consult your electric company.

_WARNING

INSULATING JACKETS: When installing an external

water heater insulation jacket on an electric water
heater:

a. DO NOT cover the temperature-pressure relief valve.
b. DO NOT put insulation over the access covers or any

accessareas.
c. DO NOT cover or remove operating instructions, and

safety related warning labels and materials affixed to the

_WARNING

Do not use this appliance if any part of it has been under
water. An electrical short or malfunction could occur.

The water heater should be replaced.

_CAUTION

WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of
the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner

that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of
water will not cause damage to the structure. When such
locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should
be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are avail-
able at your local Sears Store. Such a drain pan must be

_iped to an adequate drain. Under no circumstances is

the manufacturer or Sears to be held liable for any water
damage in connection with this water heater.

Turn "OFF" etectricai supply to the water heater.

tf you have copper piping to the water

heater, the two copper water pipes can be ..........

cut with a hacksaw approximately four
inches away from where they connect to

the water heater, This will avoid cutting off
the pipes too short. Additional cuts can be
made later if necessary. Disconnect the
temperature-pressure reliefvalve drain line.

When the water heater is drained, discon-

nect the hose from the drain valve, Close
the drain valve. The water heater is now

completely disconnected and ready to be
removed,

-Turn "OFF" the water supply to the
water heater at the water shutoffvalve or

water meter.

Attach a hose to the water heater drain

valve and put the other end in a floor
drain or outdoors. Open the water heater

drain valve. Open a nearby hot water
faucet which wilt relieve pressure in the
water heater and speed draining.

O

If you have galvanized pipe to the water

heater, loosen the two galvanized pipes
with a pipe -wrenchat the union in each

line. Also disconnect the piping remaining
to the water heater,These pieces should be{

saved since they may be needed when

reconnecting the new water heater.
Disconnect the temperature-pressure relief

valve drain line. When the water heater is

Locating the New Water

Heater

Facts to Consider About the
Location

You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water
heater, because the placement is a very important consideration
for the safety of the-occupants in the building arid for the most
economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not intend-

ed for outdoor installation.

Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water
heater in a new location, the following critical points must be

observed.

1. The location selected should be indoors as close to and as cen-
tra]ized with the water piping system as possible. This water

heater, as well as all water heaters, witl eventually leak. Do not
instal! without adequate drainage provisions where water flow
will cause damage.

_CAUTION

WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of

the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner
that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of
water will not cause damage to the structure. When such

locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should
be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are avail-

able at your local Sears Store. Such a drain pan must be

piped to an adequate drain. Under no circumstances is

the manufacturer or Sears to be held liable for any water
damage in connection with this water heater.

Facts to Consider About The
Convertible Lower Element

The Upper Element (if a double element model), is a conven-
tional 3800 watt element -which only operates at its rated

wattage on 240 volts. (See rating plate on water heater).
The Lower Element of the water heater can be converted from

operation at 3800 watts to 5500 watts on a 240 volt system.

Read and follow water heater warnings and instruc6ons.If a_er
reading these instructions in this manual, if you do not under_

stand any portion, call Sears Service Center.

_I_WARNI NG

Before making the conversion to 5500 watts, check the
(I) power supply...must be 240 volts, (2) wiring...10 gauge
AWG @ type T.W. 60c or equivalent, and (3) Circuit

breakers or fusing...capable of 30 amp loading. Also, the

installation must conform with this manual, local codes

and electric utility rules. Failure to comply can result in
death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.

ACAUTION

INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES: The

water heater must be located andlor protected so it is not

subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

2. The location selection must provide adequate clearances for

servicing and proper operation of the water heater.

NOTE: Whether or not the element conversion is made the
model rating plate must be marked. Using a hardpoint ink

pen, check the appropriate block within the model rating
plate, which is located adjacent to the lower access panel.

_WARNtNG

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are
intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem-

perature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing,
dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and

permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are
more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than
others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or
physicallylmentally handicapped. If anyone using hot

water in your home fits into one of these groups or if
there is a local code or state law requiring a certain tem-
perature water at the hot water tap, then you must take
special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possi-
ble temperature setting that satisfies your hot water
needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall be used at

the hot water taps used by these people or at the water

heater. Hixing valves are available at plumbing supply or
hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for

installation of the valves. Before changing the factory set-

ting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature

Regulation" section in this manual.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water i ing to the
water heater. The water heater is equipped with % inch water

connections.

If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system; such
as one having a back-flow preventer, check valve, water meter
with a check valve, etc. in the cold water supply; means shall be

provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the local utility
or local Sears Service Center on how to control this situation.

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adaptor to the cold water inlet connec-
tion. Do not solder the cold water supply llne directly to the

cold water inlet. It w_ harm the dip tube and damage the
tank.

1. Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is

marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the
threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around

both ends of the "%"threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-
tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet of the

water heater.

2. Look at the top cover of the water heater. The cold water inlet
is marked cold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around

the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and

around both ends of the %" threaded nipple. Using flexible
connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the cold water inlet

of the water heater.

NOTE: Yourwater heater is super insulated to minimize heat
loss from the tank. Further reduction in heat toss can be

accomplished by insulating the hot water lines from the
water heater.

_kWARNING

At the time of manufacture this water heater was provid-
ed with a combination temperature-pressures relief valve
certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that

maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equip-
ment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief

Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water
Supply Systems, and the latest edition of ANSI Z21.22 and

the code requirements of ASME. If replaced, the valve
must meet the requirements of local codes, but not less

than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve
certified as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and
Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply
Systems, ANSI Z21.22 by a nationally recognized testing

laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of produc-
tion of listed equipment or materials.

The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure
not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of
the water heater (i 50 lbs.lsq, in.) and a discharge capacity

not lessthan the water heater input rate as shown on the

model rating plate. (Electric heaters - watts divided by

1000x 3415 equal BTU/Hr. rate.)

Your localjurisdictional authority, while mandating the use

of a temperature-pressure relief valve complying with
ANS! Z21.22 and ASME, may require a valve model differ-
ent from the one furnished with the water heater.

Compliance with such local requirements must be satisfied

by the installer or end user of the water heater with a

locally prescribed temperature-pressure relief valve

installed in the designated opening in the water heater in
place of the factory furnished valve.

For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve
must not be removed from it's designated opening or
plugged.
The temperature.pressure relief valve must be installed

directly into the fitting of the water heater designated for
the relief valve. Position the valve downward and provide
tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 inches

above, or at any distance below the structural floor. Be
certain that no contact is made with any live electrical

_art. The discharge opening must not be blocked or
reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessivelength,

over 30 feet, or use of more than four elbows can cause
restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve.

No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the
relief valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to

discharge drain unless a 6" air gap is provided. To prevent
bodily injury, hazard to llfe, or property damage, the relief

valve must be allowed to discharge water in quantities
should circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not

connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water
flow may cause property damage.
The Discharge Pipe:

-- Must not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of
the valve, or haveany reducing couplings or other

restriction.

-- Must not be pluggedor blocked.
Must be of material listed for hot water distribution.

Must be installed soasto allow complete drainage of
both the temperature-pressure relief valve, and the dis-

charge pipe.

-- Must terminate at anadequate drain.

Must not have any valve between the relief valve and

tank.

_I_WARNING

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually
operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to

ensure that (I) no one is in front of or around the outlet
of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line,
and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any

bodily injury or property damage because the water may
be extremely hot.

If after manuaUy operating the valve, it fails to complete-

ly reset and continues to release water, immediately,
close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the

draining instructions, and replace the temperature.pres-
sure relief valve with a new one.
