Safety Precautions

AWARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause D^TH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Refer to this manual for assis tance or conailt your local Sears Service Center for further information.

AWARNING

At the time of manufacture this water heater was provided with a combination temperature-pressures relief valve certified by a
nationally recogniz^ testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Sy^ms, and the latest edition of ANSI Z2I.22 and the code requirements of ASME. If
replaced, the valve must meet the requirenients 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 Z2I.22 by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that
maintains periodic inspection of production 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 ( 150 lbs./sq. in.) and a discharge capacity not
less than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate. {Electric heaters - watts dhnded by 1000 x 3415 equal BTU/Hr. rate.) Your local jurisdictional autiiority while mandating die use of a temperature-pressure relief valve complying with ANSI Z21.22 and ASME, may require a valve model different from the one fur nished with the water heater. Compliance with such local requirements must be satisfied by the installer or end user of tfie water heater vrith a locally pre scribed temperature-pressure relief valve installed in the desig nated opening in the water heater in place of the factory for-
nished iralve. 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 dis
charge will exit only witiiin 6 inches above, or at any distance below the structural floor. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part The discharge opening must not be
blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet, or use of more tiian 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, haz ard to life, or property dami^, 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 have any reducing couplings or other restrictions. ’ Must not be plugged or blocked.
• Must be of material listed for 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 any valve between the relief valve and tank.

AWARNING

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, SERI OUS BODILY 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 titan others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally 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.

Installation Instructions

Removing the Old Water Heater

^^Turn “OFF” electrical supply to the water heater.
^5 If you have copper piping to the water
heater, the two copper water pipes can be cut with a hacksaw approximately 4" 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 Disconnea the tempera
ture-pressure relief valve drain line, ’^en the water heater is drained, disconnect the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain
valve. The water heater is now completely
disconnected and ready to be removed.
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 ^ucet which will relieve pressure in the water heater and speed draining.

AWARNING

The water passing out of the drain valve may be extreme ly hot. To avoid being scalded, make sure all connections are tight and that the water flow is directed away from any person.
Check again to make sure the electrical supply is turned “OFF” to the water heater. Then disconnect the electrical supply connection from the water heater junction box.
If you have galvanized pipe to the water heater, loosen the two galvanized pipes with a pipe wrench at 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
drained, disconnect the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve. The
water heater is now completely disconnect
ed and ready to be removed.

ACAUTION

Mineral buildup or sediment may have accumulated in the old water heater. This causes the water heater to be much heavier than normal and this residue, if spilled out, could cause staining.
Installation Instructions (cont’d)

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 consid eration for the safety of me occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not intended 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.
• The location selected should be indoors as close to and as centralized with the water piping system as possible. This water heater, as well as all water heaters, will'eventually leak.
Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where
water flow will cause damage. .

A 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 avail­abie at your iocal Sears stores. Such a drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. Under no circumstances is
the manufacturer or Sears to be heid iiabie 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
wattle 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 instructions. If after
reading these instructions in this manual, if you do not under stand any portion, call Sears Service Center.

AWARNING

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 instaiiation must conform with this manual, local codes and electric utility rules. Failure to comply can result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Water Piping

AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intendetl 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 physically/mentaily 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.
The illustration shows the attachment of the water pipini^ to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with ’/* 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.

Temperature-Pressure
Relief Valve

AWARNING

At die tíme of manufocture thb ¥rater heater was provided with a combination temperature-pressures relief valve certified by a nationally recognized ^ng laboratory that maintains période inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Vidves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, and the latest edition of ANSI Z21.22 and the code requirements of ASHE 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 Viilves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot >^ter Supply Systems, ANSI Z2I.22 by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of induction 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 (ISO lbs./sq. in.) and a discharge capacity not less than tíie water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate. (Electric heaters • watts divided by 1000 x 3415 equal BTU/Hr. rate.)
Your local jurisdictional authority while mandating the use of a temperature-pressure relief valve complying with ANSI Z2I.22 a^ ASHE m^ require a valve model different from the one fur
nished 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 pre scribed tempeiatore-pressure relief valve installed in the desig nated opening in the water heater in place of the fectory fur nished rálve. For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not be removed from №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 dis charge 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 part The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessive length, 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 life, 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 Dischaige Pipe;
Must not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the
valve, or have any reducing couplings or other restrictions.
Must not be plu¿¡ed or blocked.
Must be of material listed for hot water distribution. Must be installed so as to allow complete drains of both the temperature-pressure relief valve, and the discharge
pipe. Must terminate at an adequate drain. Must not have any valve between the relief valve and tank.

AWARNING

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, 3nd (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage because the water may be extremely hot. If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately, close ^e cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the drain ing instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.
