FIGUI^I.

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.

water heater.

If the main gas line shutoff 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.

Q 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.

Facts to Consider About the Location

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

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 flame 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.

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.

AH water heaters eventually leak Do notinstali 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 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.

A WARNING

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, Useonlygasshownon rating plate. Maintain required clearances to combustibles. Keep ignition sources away from faucets after extended period of non-use.

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.

Awarning

Fire or Explosion Hazard

Read instruction manual before installing

using or servicing water heater.

Improper use may result in fire or

explosion

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.

Maintain required clearances to combustibles.

Read instruction manual before

installing, using or servicing

INSTALLATIONS IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (VAPORS) ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT OR STORED (GARAGES, STORAGE AND UTILITY AREAS, ETC.); Flammable liquids (such as gasoline, solvents, propane [LP or butane, etc.] and other substances such as adhesives, etc.) emit flammable vapors which can be ignited by a gas water

water heater.

A WARNING

Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas

Energy Conservation Act standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements, making an insulation blanket unnecessary.

Install water heater in accordance

with the instruction manual and

NFPA54. 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 Locsting The New Water Heater secXion. 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.

Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas

Do not obstruct water heater air intake with insulating blanket.

Gas and carbon monoxide detectors are available.

Install water heater in accordance

with the instruction manual.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or death. Always read and understand instruction manual.

Jm. WARNING

Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you should follow these instructions (See Figure 1 for

identification of components mentioned below). Failure to follow these instructions can restrict the air flow required for proper combustion, potentially resulting in fire, asphyxiation, serious

personal injury or death.

• Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as this will interfere with safe operation of the draft hood.

• Do not cover the outer door, thermostat or temperature &

pressure relief valve.

• Do not allow insulation to come within 2” (50.8 mm) of the floor to prevent blockage of combustion airflow to the burner.

• Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side of the water heater or nearby for future reference.

• Do obtain new warning and instruction labels from Sears for placement on the blanket directly over the existing labels.

• Do inspect the insulation blanket frequently to make certain

it does not sag, thereby obstructing combustion air flow.

Combustion Air and Ventilation for Appliances Located in Unconfined Spaces

Propellants of aerosol sprays and volatile compounds, (cleaners, chlorine based chemicals, refrigerants, etc.) in addition to being highly 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.

Insuiation Biankets

Insulation blankets available to the general public for external use on gas water heaters are not necessary with Ken more products. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank heaters. Your

Ken more water heater meets or exceeds the National Appliance

UNCONFiNED SPACE is space whose volume is not less than

50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 per kW) of the

aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.

In unconfined spaces in buildings, infiltration may be adequate to provide air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases. However, in buildings of tight construction (for example, weatherstripping, heavily insulated, caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), additional air may need to be provided using the methods described in Combustion Air and Ventilation for Appliances

Located in Confined Spaces.
