your local Seam 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 recogni^d testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as

meeting the requirements for Relief Wlros and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply System^ and the current edition of ANSI Z2I.22 • CSA 4,4 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 VWter Supply Systems, ANSI Z21,22 • CSA 4,4 by a nationally recog nized 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, p,s,i,) and a dischar^ capacity not less than the water heater input rate as shown on the mmlel reting plate, (Electric heaters - watts divided by 1000 x 3412 equal

BTU/Hr. rate,) Your local jurrsdictional authority, while mandating the u!% of a temperature-presure relief valve complying with ANSI Z21.22 • CSA 4,4 and ASME, m^qr require a val^ model different from the one furnished with the water heater. Compliance with such local requirements must be satisfied the installer or end user of the water heater with 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 valve.

For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not be removed from it% designated opening or plug^d. The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designated for the relief valve. Position the valve downwanJ and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within $ inches above, or at any dis tance below the structural floor. Be certain that no contact is

made with any live electrical part. The dischar^ 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 t§nk. Do not connect tubing directly to discharge drain unless a 6 air ^ is provided. To prevent bodily injury, haz ard to life, or property dama^, 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

m^ns, the water flow may cause property damage. The Dischar^ 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 plumed or blocked. * Must be of mat^al listed for hot water distribution, * Must be installed so as to allow complete draini^ of both the

temperature-pressure relief valve, and the discharge pipe,

* Must terminate at an adequate drain.

• Must not hare any valve betvreen the relief valve and tank.

AWARNING

Removing the Old Water Heater

^^Turn “OFF” electrical supply to the water heater.

Turn “OFF” the water supply to the

water heater at the water shutoff valve or water meter.

r^a. 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. Disconnect the tempera ture-pressure relief valve drain line, ^Ticn 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 faucet which will relieve pressure in the

water heater and speed draining.

AWARNING

The water passing out of the drain valve 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 galvanixcd, pipe to the water heater, loosen the two galvanixcd, 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.

A CAUTION

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.

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 the 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

reason, it is not advisable to install the water heater In an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot be ®ioided, a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are available at your local Sears stores. Such a drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain.

Facts to Consider About The

Convertible Lower Element

The Upper Element (if a double element model), is a conven

tional 3800 watt clement which only operates at its rated

wattage on 240 volts, (Sec rating plate on water heater).

The Ixjwcr FJement of the water heater can be converted from

operation at 3800 watts to .5.500 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 Scars Service Center.

AWÂRNING

Before making the conversion to SSOO watts, check the (I) power supply...must be 240 volts, (2) wiring... 10 gauge AWG, Type TW, 60*C or equivalent, and (3) Circuit brealffirs or fuslng.„capable of 30 amp loading.

Relief Valve

AWARNING

At the tíme of manufacture this water heater was provided with a combination temperature-pressures relief valve cer tified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that

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

Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, and the current edition of ANSI Z2I.22 • CSA 4.4 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 * CSA 4.4 fcy a nationally rec ognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspec tion 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 (ISO IbsJsq, in,} and a dischai^e capacity

not less than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate. (Electric heaters - watts divided by

1000 X 3412 equal BTU/Hr. rate.)

Your local jurisdictional authority, while mandating the use of a temperature-pressure relief valve complying with ANSI Z21,22 * CSA 4,4 and ASME, may require a valve model dif ferent 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 itis designated opening or plumed.

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designated for the relief valve. Position the valve downwat^ and provide tubing so that an^ discharge will exit only within ¿ inches above, or at any distance below the structural floor. Be cer tain 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, not connect tubing directly to

dischai^e drain unless a « air gap is provided. To prevent

bodily injury, hazard to life, or property dama:^, 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 m^ 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 plui^ed 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 dis

charge pipe,

* M ust terminate at an adequate d rain, * 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, and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage because the water m^ be extremely hot. If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately, close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the drain ing instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.
