INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Removing the Old Water Heater
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. The water
passing out of the drain valve may
be extremely hot. To avoid being
scalded, make sure all connections
are tight and that the water flow is
directed away from any person, see
Figures 2 and 5.
© Disconnect the vent pipe from the draft hood where it connects
to the water heater. In most installations the vent pipe can
be lifted off after any screw or other attached devices are
removed. Dispose of the draft hood. The new water heater
has a draft hood which must be used for proper operation.
If 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,
see Figure 6. This will avoid cutting off pipes too short.
Additional cuts can be made later if necessary. 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 disconnected and ready to be removed.
© Turn “OFF” the gas supply to the
water heater.
If the main gas line shut-off valve
serving all gas appliances is used,
also shut “OFF” the gas at each
appliance. Leave all gas
appliances shut “OFF” until the
water heater installation is
completed, see Figures 2 and 3.
© Turn “OFF” the water supply to the
water heater at the water shut-off
valve or water meter. Some
installations require that the water
be turned off to the entire house,
see Figures 2 and 4.
Check again to make sure the gas supply is “OFF” to the
water heater. Then disconnect the gas supply connection from
the gas control valve.
If you have galvanized pipes 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,
see Figure 7. 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 disconnected and ready to be removed.
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.
FIGURE 7.
Facts to Consider About
the Location
Devices that will turn off the gas supply to a gas water heater
while at the same time shutting off its water supply.
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 and for the most
economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not for
use in manufactured (mobile) homes or outdoor installation.
Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater
in a new location, the following critical points must be observed:
• Select a location indoors as close as practical to the gas vent
or chimney to which the water heater vent is going to be
connected, and as centralized with the water piping system
as possible.
” Selected location must provide adequate clearances for
servicing and proper operation of the water heater.
CAUTION
Property Damage Hazard
All water heaters eventually leak
Do notinstall without adequate drainage.
Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a
manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow
will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not
advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor.
When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan
should be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are
available at your local Sears or hardware store. Such a drain
pan must have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches
(51 mm) greater that the water heater dimensions and must be
piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion
air flow.
Awarning
Fire or Explosion Hazard
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Avoid all ignition sources if you smell LP gas.
• Do not expose water heater control to excessive gas
pressure.
• Use only gas shown on rating plate.
■ Maintain required clearances to combustibles.
• Keep ignition sources away from faucets after
V extended period of non-use.
Read instruction manual before
installing, using or servicing
é
INSTALLATIONS IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
(VAPORS) ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT OR STORED
(GARAGES, STORAGE AND UTILITY AREAS. ETC.):
Flammable liquids (such as gasoiine, solvents, propane [LP or
butane, etc.] and other substances such as adhesives, etc.) emit
flammable vapors which can be ignited by a gas water heater's
pilot light or main burner. The resulting flashback and fire can
cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area. Even though
this water heater is a flammable vapors ignition resistant water
heater and is designed to reduce the chances of flammable
vapors being ignited, gasoline and other flammable substances
should never be stored or used in the same vicinity or area
containing a gas water heater or other open fiame or spark
producing appliance.
Also, the water heater must be located and/or protected so it is
not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.
water heater.
Water heater life depends upon water quality, water pressure
and the environment in which the water heater is installed. Water
heaters are sometimes installed in locations where leakage may
result in property damage, even with the use of a drain pan piped
to a drain. However, unanticipated damage can be reduced or
prevented by a leak detector or water shut-off device used in
conjunction with a piped drain pan. These devices are available
from some plumbing supply wholesalers and retailers, and detect
and react to leakage in various ways:
• Sensors mounted in the drain pan that trigger an alarm or
turn off the incoming water to the water heater when leakage
is detected.
‘ Sensors mounted in the drain pan that turn off the water supply
to the entire home when water is detected in the drain pan.
‘ Water supply shut-off devices that activate based on the water
pressure differential between the cold water and hot water
pipes connected to the water heater.
Awarning
Fire Hazard
For continued protection against
risk of fire:
•Do not install water heater on
carpeted floor.
•Do not operate water heater if
flood damaged.
This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting.
Carpeting must be protected by metal or wood panel beneath
the appliance extending beyond the full width and depth of the
appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any direction, or if the
appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must
be covered by the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result
in a fire hazard.
A WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Read instruction manual before installing,
using or servicing water heater.
Improper use may result in fire or
explosion.
Maintain required clearances to
è
Minimum clearances between the water heater and combustible
construction are 0 inch at the sides and rear,
4 inches (102 mm) at the front, and 6 inches (153 mm) from the
vent pipe, see Figure 8. Clearance from the top of the jacket is 12
inches (305 mm) on most models. Note that a lesser dimension
may be allowed on some models, refer to the label attached
adjacent to the gas control valve on the water heater.

cleaning equipment, it is imperative that the water heater or water
heaters be installed so that combustion and ventilation air be
taken directly from outdoors (direct vent).
Propellants of aerosol sprays and volatile compounds, (cleaners,
chlorine based chemicals, refrigerants, etc.) in addition to being
highiy flammable in many cases, will also change to corrosive
hydrochloric acid when exposed to the combustion products of
the water heater. The results can be hazardous, and also cause
product failure.

Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas
Install water heater in accordance
with the instruction manual and
NFPA 54.
To avoid injury, combustion and
ventilation air must be taken from
outdoors.
Do not place chemical vapor
emitting products near water
heater.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or
death. Always read and understand Instruction manual.
A gas water heater cannot operate properly without the correct
amount of air for combustion, see Figure 9. Do not install in a
confined area such as a closet, unless you provide air as shown
in the Locating The New Water Heater section. Never obstruct
the flow of ventilation air. If you have any doubts or questions at
all, call your gas supplier. Failure to provide the proper amount
of combustion air can result in a fire or explosion and cause
death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.
Insulation blankets available to the general public for external
use on gas water heaters are not necessary with Kenmore
products. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the
standby heat loss encountered with storage tank heaters. Your
Kenmore water heater meets or exceeds the National Appliance
Energy Conservation Act standards with respect to insulation
and standby loss requirements, making an insulation blanket
unnecessary.
Awarning
Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas
Do not obstruct water heater air
intake with insulating blanket.
Gas and carbon monoxide detectors
