Removing the Old Water

Heater

QTurn "OFF" electrical supply to the water heater.

Q Turn "OFF" the water supply to the

water heater at the water shutoffvalve or water meter.

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. When 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.

QAttach 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.

_WARNING

The water p_sing out ofthe 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

anyperson.

Q Check again to make sure the electrical supply is

turned 'OFF" to the water heater. Then d'sconnect the electrical supply connection from the water

heater junction box.

Qb. you galvanized pipe to water

If have the 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.

l _,WARNING I

Mineral buildupor sedimentmay haveaccumulatedin the old water.heater. This causesthe water heater to be l

much heavier than normal and this residue, if spilled out, ]

could causestaining.

Installation Instructions (cont'd)

Facts to Consider About the Facts to Consider About The Location Convertible Lower Element

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.

ACAUTION

WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the water heater must be accomplishedin sucha manner

that if the tank or anyconnectionsshouldleak, the flow of water will not causedamageto the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided,a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater. Drain pansare avail-

able at your localSears stores.Sucha drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. Under no circumstances is

the manufacturer or Searsto be held liablefor any water damage in connectionwith this water heater.

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 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, checkthe (I) power supply...must be 240 volts, (2) wiring...10 gauge AWG, Type TW, 60°C or equivalent, and (3) Circuit breakers or fusing...capableof 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.

A CAUTION ]

INSTALLATION I_AL GARAGES: The]

water heater must be located and/or protected so it is|

not subject to physicaldamageby a movingvehicle.

• 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.

Water Piping

WARNING

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

pleraturewhich will satisfyspace heating, clotheswashing,

ish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and

permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likelyto be permanently injured by hot water than

others. These includethe elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot i

water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there isa localcode or state law requiring a certain tem- perature water at the hot water tap, then you must take specialprecautions.In addition to usingthe 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

1eater. Mixing valvesare available at plumbing supplyor _ardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for

installationof the valves.Before changingthe factory set- ting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation"section in this manual.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with ¾" 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, erc. 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 adapter to the cold water inlet connec-

tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the

tank.

• 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.

• 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 ¼ threaded nipple. Using flexible

connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the cold water inlet of the water heater.

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

accomplished by insulating the hot water lines from the

AWARNING

At the time of manufacturethis water heater wasprovided with a combinationtemperature-pressuresrelief valve cer- tified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that

maintainsperiodic inspectionof productionof listed equip- ment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valvesand Automatic Gas Shutoff Devicesfor Hot Water

SupplySystems,and the latest edition ofANSI 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 pressurerelief valve certified asmeeting the requirements for ReliefValvesand

Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems,ANSI Z21.22 by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintainsperiodicinspectionof production

oflistedequipment or materials. The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure

not to exceedthe marked hydrostaticworking pressureof the water heater (150 Ibs./sq.in.) and a dischargecapacity not lessthan the water heater input rate asshownon the

model rating plate. (Electric heaters - watts divided by

1000x 3415 equal BTU/Hr. rate.)

Yourlocaljurisdictionalauthority, while mandatingthe use of a temperature-pressure relief valve complying with

ANSI Z21.22 and ASME, may require a valve model differ- entfrom the onefurnishedwith the water heater.

Compliancewith suchlocal requirements must be satisfied

_)ythe installer or end user of the water heater with a locally prescribed temperature-pressure relief valve

installedin the designatedopening in the water heater in

placeof the factory furnishedvalve. 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 designatedfor

the relief valve. Positionthe valve downward and provide tubingso that any dischargewill exit only within 6 inches

above,or at any distancebelowthe structural floor. Be cer- tein that no contact is made with any llve electrical part. The dischargeopeningmust not be blockedor reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessivelength, over 30

feet, or useof more than four elbowscan causerestriction andreduce the dischargecapacityofthe valve.

No valveor other obstruction is to be placedbetween the relief valve and the tank. Do not connecttubingdirectly to

dischargedrain unlessa 6" air gap isprovided.To prevent bodilyinjury,hazard to life, or property damage,the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water in quantities shouldcircumstancesdemand. If the dischargepipe is not

connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flowmay causeproperty damage. The DischargePipe:

Must not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of

the valve, or have any reducing couplings or other

restriction.

Must not bepluggedor blocked.

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

both the temperature-pressure relief valve, andthe dis- chargepipe.

Must terminate at an adequatedrain. Must not have any valve between the relief valve and

tank.

_,WARNING

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year.Caution shouldbe 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 dischargedwill not causeany bodily injury or property damage becausethe water may

be extremely hot.

If after manuallyoperating the valve, it failsto 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 valvewith a newone.
