The Kenmore Elite Hybrid Electric Water Heater is an integrated
heat pump water heater unit, having an 850 Watt compressor and
an external coil heat exchanger with backup electric elements.
When in Efficiency Mode the heat pump draws heat from the

ambient air in the room and transfers it to the water in the tank
through the coil heat exchanger. While in Electric Mode the water

heater functions like a standard electric water heater, relying
on the electric elements to heat the water. A Hybrid Mode is
available that relies primarily on the heat pump to heat the water

while the electric elements only function during high demand

periods. The more often the unit operates using the heat pump,
rather than the elements, the more efficient the unit will be.

The large tank capacities of the Kenmore Elite Hybrid Electric
Water Heaters are intended to take optimal advantage of the
heat pump's capability to heat water for large families or those

having higher than normal hot water requirements. The larger

FIGURE 2.

1. Turn "OFF" electrical supply to the water heater.

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.

4.

Check again to make sure the electrical supply is turned
"OFF" to the water heater. Then unplug the water heater

(cord set) or disconnect the electrical supply connection from
the water heater junction box.

FIGURE 6,

5a.

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. This wilt avoid cutting off the 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.

FIGURE 3.

2. Open a nearby hot water faucet until the water is no longer
hot. When the water has cooled, turn "OFF" the water supply
to the water heater at the water shut-off valve or water meter.

FIGURE 4.

3. Attach a hose to the water heater drain valve and put the other
end in a floor drain or outdoors. Open the water drain valve.
Open a nearby hot water faucet which will relieve pressure

in the water heater and speed draining.

• Hotwater discharge.

FIGURE 7.

5b.

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
disconnected and ready to be removed.

• Keep hands clear of drain
valve discharge.

FIGURE 8.

Mineral Buildup or Sediment May Accumulate

" This causes the water heater to become

much heavier than normal.
Ifspilled, could cause staining.

This water heater, as well as all water heaters, will eventually

leak. Do not install without adequate drainage provisions so

water flow will not cause damage.

Property Damage Hazard

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 consideration for

the safety ofthe occupants in the building andforthe most economical
use ofthe appliance. This water heater isnot 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.
Select a location near the center of the water piping system. The
unit must be installed indoors and in a vertical position on a level

surface. The flooring beneath the water heater must be able to
support the weight of the water heater when filled with water (See

Table 1).
IMPORTANT: The water heater must have unrestricted airflow

and requires a minimum installation space of 750 cubic feet. As an
example, a room that has an 8 foot tall ceiling and is 10 feet tong

by 9-1/2 feet wide would contain 760 cubic feet. See the Confined
Space Installation section of this manual for installing the water

heater in spaces of tess than 750 cubic feet.
NOTE: To insure optimal performance and efficiency a minimum

clearance of six (6) inches from the back, left and right sides of the
water heater must be maintained. A minimum of 12 inches from the
front of the unit should be maintained for control access. Service

clearances of twelve (12) inches from the left and right sides are
recommended as a best installation practice.

The water heater should be located inan area not subject to freezing
temperatures. Water heaters located in unconditioned spaces (i.e.,

garages, basements, etc.) may require the water piping, condensate
piping, and drain piping to be insulated to shelter against freezing.

The drain and controls must be easily accessible for operation and
service.

The site location must be free from any corrosive elements in the
atmosphere such as sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine. These elements
are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning

solvents, air fresheners, paint, and vamish removers, refrigerants,
and many other commercial and household products. In addition,

excessive dust and lint may affect the operation of the unit (See
"Cleaning the Filter"section).

The ambient air temperature must also be considered when
installing this unit. In Efficiency Mode the ambient air temperature

must be above 45°F and below 109°R Ifthe ambient air temperature
falls outside these upper and lower limits the electrical elements wilt

activate to meet the hot water demand and the heat pump does not
operate.

NOTE: Local codes and requirements in your area may require the
installation of your water heater be accomplished in a way that the

bottom element iselevated from the floor at least 18 inches. Ensure
that a platform capable of supporting the combined weight of the

water heater and water is used. Reference Table 1.

TABLE 1.

Capacity Packaged Weight (Ibs) Full Weight (Ibs)

60 Gallon 280 lbs 760
80 Gallon 350 lbs 967

• All water heaters eventually leak

• Do not installwithout adequate drainage.

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 metal drain pan should be installed under the water

heater. Drain pans are available at your local Sears stores. Such
drain pans must be piped to an adequate drain.

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 metal 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 metal 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 metaldrain pan that trigger analarmor tum
offthe incomingwater tothe water heaterwhen leakage isdetected.

• Sensors mounted in the metal 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.

installations in Residential Garages

• Water heater must be located in a
protective area.

INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES: The water heater
must be located and/or protected so it is not subject to physical

damage by a moving vehicle.

• The location selection must provide adequate clearances for
servicing and proper operation of the water heater.

insulation Blankets

The use of an insulation blanket on this water heater is not

needed or recommended. The purpose of an insulation blanket
is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage

tank heaters. Your 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.

Confined Space Installation

The heat pump water heaters covered in this manual require a minimum of 750 cubic feet of installation space. When a space

meeting this minimum requirement is not available these units may be installed in spaces with less than 750 cubic feet (confined

spaces) when provisions are made by installing an accessory Outlet Duct Kit and/or touvered grills as described in this section.

Inlet air will be derived from an alternate location inside the building structure through one or more louvered grills or through a fully
louvered door leading into the confined space. The alternate location from where inlet air wilt be derived must provide a minimum of

750 cubic feet of space when using this installation method. When the Outlet Duct Kit is installed outlet air from the unit is redirected
to an alternate location. The alternate location to where outlet air will be redirected must also provide a minimum of 750 cubic feet
of space.

Other configurations are possible when using the Outlet Duct Kit (PN 9910006000) and/or the Inlet Duct Kit (PN 9910005000) with
these water heaters. Consult the installation instructions included with Outlet Duct Kit for additional information. These instructions

are also available on the manufacturer's web site. Contact the distributor where the water heater was purchased for information on
ordering these duct kits.
