I AWARNING WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE TYPE GAS ONLY: This water heater is equipped for one type gas only. Check the model rating plate near the gas control valve for the correct gas. DO NOT USE THIS WATER HEATER WITH ANY GAS OTHER THAN THE ONE SHOWN ON THE MODEL RATING PLATE. Failure to usethe correct gascan causeproblemswhich can result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. If you have any questions or doubts consult your gassupplieror local utility. AWARNING 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.), all of which emit flammable vapors, may be improperly stored or used in such areas. The gaswater heater pilot light or main burner can ignite such vapors. The resulting flashback and fire can cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area, as well as property damage. If installation in such areas is your only option, then the installation must be accomplishedin a way that the pilot flame and main burner flame are elevated from the floor at least 18 inches. While this may reduce the chancesof flammable vapors from a floor spill being ignited, gasoline and other flammable substancesshouldnever be stored or used in the same room or area containing a gas water heater or other open flame or spark producingappliance. NOTE: Flammable vapors may be drawn by air currents from other areas oftbe structure to the appliance. _,WARNING If this water heater will be used in beauty shops, barber shops, cleaning establishments, or self-service laundries with dry cleaning equipment, it is imperative that the water heater or water heaters be installed so that combustion and ventilation air be taken from outside these areas. Refer to the "Facts to Consider About the Location" section of this manual and also the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54 for specificsprovided concerning air required. AWARNING ] A fire can start if combustible materials suchas clothing, cleaningmaterials, or flammalde liquidsare placedagainst or next to the water heater. AWARNING At the time of manufacture this water heater was pruvided with a combination temperature-pressures relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that mmntalns periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, and the latest edition of ANSI Z21.22 and the code requirements of ASME. If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of Ioca codes, but not lessthan 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 by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains )eriodic 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 Ibs./sq. in.) and a discharge capacity not less than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate. (Electric heaters watts divided by 1000 x 3415 equal BTU/Hr. rate.) Your local jurisdictional authority, while mandating the use of a temperature-pressure relief valve complying with ANSI Z21.22 and ASME, may require a valve model different 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 designatedopening in the water heater in place of the factory furnished valve. For safe ope-_U_n of the_water heater, the relief Valve must not bq removed from t's desgrated open ng or plugged ..................................... The temperature-pressure_rellef _,,,alvemust be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designated for the relief valve. Posltlon-the-valv_downward_ and provide tubing so that any dischargewill exit only within 6 inches above,o_-_-t'_n_-_£_-b'_lov_the structural floor. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessivelength, 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. Do not connect tubing directly to dischargedrain unlessa 6" air gap is provided. To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life, or property damage, the relief valve must be allowed to dischargewater in quantities should circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may 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 restrictions. Must not be pluggedor 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 dischargepipe. Must terminate at an adequate drain. Must not have any valve between the relief valve and tank. r Safer-I iPrecautions AWARNING AWARNING A gas water heater cannot operate properly without the correct amount of air for combustion. Do not install in a confined area such a closet, unless you provide air as shownin the "Facts to Consider About the Location" section. Never obstruct the flow of vantilation air, If you have any doubts or questions at all, call your gas company. Failure to provide the proper amount of combustion air can result in a fire or explosion and can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. This water heater must not be installed directly on carpotlng. Carpeting must be protected by a 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 alcoveor closet, the entire floor must be coveredby the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in a fire hazard. • _,WARNING HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy clothes washing,dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These includethe elderly, children,the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped.If anyone usinghot water in your home f'_sinto one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take specialprecautions.In addition to usingthe lowest possibletemperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shouldbe used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valvesare available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before changingthe factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual. VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is operated thermally or otherwise must be removed if its use inhibits proper drafting of the water heater. Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters having thermal efficiency in excess of 80% may producea relatively low flue gastemperature. Such temperatures may not be high enoughto properly open thermally operated vent dampers. This would causespillageof flue gasesand may causecarbon monoxide poisoning. Vent dampers must bear evidenceof certification as complying with the latest edition of American National Standard ANSI Z21.68 (ANSI Z21.66 & 67, respectively, cover electrically and mechanically actuated vent dampers). Before installation of any vent damper, consult your local Sears Service Center or the gas utility for further information. AWARNING _,WARNING • The appliance and its individualshutoffvalvemust be disconnected from the gas supplypiping system during any pressure testing of the gas system at test pressures in excessof _ pound per squareinch (3.5kPa). • The appliance must be isolated from the gas supplypiping system by closingits individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas s_upply piping system at test pressures equal or less than ½ pound per squareinch (3.5kPa). AWARNING Soot build-up indicates a problem that requires correction before furtber use. Turn "OFF" gasto water heater and leave "OFF" until repairs are made, because failure to correct the cause of the sootingcan result in a fire or explosion causing DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. AWARNING AWARNING Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants,cleaningsolvents,refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach, and processchemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive. BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.R) GAS WATER HEATERS]: Propane (L.P.) gas is heavier than air, Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will settle near the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted areas under mobile homes (even when ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumulation of this gas. Before attempting to light or relight the water heater'spilot or turning on a nearby electrical light switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the area. Search for odor of gas by snifEngat ground level in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected, follow steps indicated at "For Your Safety" on the cover page of this manual then leave the premises. Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present WARNING i serioushealth risk or A, asphyxiation. Safety Precautions continued on page 4. 3 Safety Precautions ._WARNIN, G _ I The water heater with draft hood InsteRedmust be prop- J erly vented to a chimney which terminates outdoors. JNever operate the water heater unlessit is ventedto the Joutdoors and h.asadequate air supply to avoid Msks of J . ] improper operation, explosionor asphyxiation. J AWARNING Minimum clearancesbetween the water heater and combustible or non-combustible construction are I" at the sides and rear, 4" at the front, and 6" from the vent pipe. Clearance from the top of the jacket is 18" on most models. Note that a lesserdimension may be allowed on some models. Refer to the label on the water heater adjacentto the gas control valvefor all clearances. AWARNING 1 Do not use this appl_of it has been under _ water. Immediately call a Sears Service Technician to inspectthe applianceand to replace the gas control or any I part of the burner system which hasbeen under water. AWARNIHG HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gascan be producedin a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explosive.To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions,we recommend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances which are connectedto the hot water systemare used (suchas a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogengas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet is i opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open. AWARNING INSULATING JACKETS: When installing an external water heater insulation jacket on a gaswater heater: • DO NOT cover the temperature.pressure relief valve. • DO NOT put insulation over any part of the top of the gaswater heater. • DO NOT put Insulation over the gascontrol valve or control valvelburner cover, or any accessareas to the burner. • DO NOT let insulation around the gas water heater to get within 8 inches of the floor (air must get to the burner). • DO NOT cover or remove operating instructions, and safety related warning labelsand materials affixed to the water heater. Failure to heed this will result in the possibilityof a fire or explosion. ACALrlION WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the water heater must be accomplishedin sucha manner that if the tank or any connectionsshouldleak, the flow of water will not causedamage to the structure. 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 store. Such a drain pan must be not greater than I '/2inchesdeep, have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches greater than the water heater dimensions and must he piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Under no circumstancesis the manufacturer or Sears to be he_dliable for any water damage in confection with this water heater.

This water heater is not for use in mobile homes or outdoor installation. • The location selection must provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater. AWARNING This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be protected by a 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 di_ or if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must be covered by,he panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in a fire haza_l_. 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 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 _iping system as possible. The water heater, as all water eaters, will eventually leak. Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where water flow will cause damage. AWARNING Minimum clearances between the water heater and combustible or non-combustible construction are I" at the sides and rear, 4" at the front, and 6" from the vent pipe. Clearance from the top of the jacket is 18" on most models. Note that a lesser dimension may be allowed on some modelg Refer to the label on the water heater adjacent to the gas control valve for all dearance_ A CAUTION 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, tile flow of water will not cause damage to the structure. 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 store. Such a drain pan must be not greater than 1½ inches deep, have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches greater than the water heater dimensions and must be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer or Sears to be held liable for any water damage in connection with this water heater. 12"MAX. f VENTILATION AIR OPENINGSO TO VjMI" OF CLOSET WITHOUT DOOR 2"•HAX.

If a condition persists or you are uncertain about the operation of the water heater, let a qualified person check it out. AWARNING When checking the temperature-pressure relief valve operatlon, make sure that (I) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) that the water manually discharged will not causeany property damage because the water may 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 draining instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one. Contact SEARS (1-800-469-4663). 21 Repair Services at 1-800-4-MY-HOME Troubleshooting Guide Start Up Conditions CONDENSATION THERMAL EXPANSION Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, a certain amount of condensation will form while the burner is on: A water heater may appear to be leakingwhen in fact the water is condensation. This usually happens when: • When a new water heater is filled with cold water for the first time. • When gas burns and water vapor is produced in water heaters, particularly high efficiency models where flue temperatures are lower. • When you use large amounts of hot water in a short time and the refill water is very cold. Water sup,ply systems may, because of such events as high line pressure, l_luent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, back flow preventers, etc...to control these types of problems. When these devices are not equipped with an internal by-pass, and no other measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be dosed. As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water. The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and increases the pressure of the water system. If the relieving point of the water heater's temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, the valve will relieve the excesspressure. The temperatux_pressure relief valve is not intendedfor the _onstant relief of thermal expansion. This is an unacceptable condition and must be corrected. ° Moisture from the products of combustion condense on the cooler tank surfaces and form drops of water which may fall onto the burn6r or other hot surfaces to produce a "sizzling" or "frying" noise. Excessive condensation can cause pilot outage due to water running down the flue tube onto the main burner and putting out the pilot. It is recommended that any devices installed which could create a closed system have a by-pass and/or the system have an expansion tank to relieve the pressure built by thermal expansion in the water system. Expansion tanks are available for ordering through the Sears Service Center. Contact the local plumbing inspector, water supplier, and/or the Sears Service Center for assistance in controlling these situations. Because of the suddenness and amount of water, condensation water may be diagnosed as a "tank leak". After the water in the tank warms up (about 1-2 hours), the condition should disappear. Do not assume the water heater is leaking until there has been enough time for the water in the tank to warm up. An undersized water heater will cause more condensation. The water heater must be sized properly to meet the family's demands for hot water including dishwashers, washing machines and shower heads. Excessive condensation may be noticed during the winter and early spring months when incoming water temperatures are at their lowest.

Certain water conditions will cause a reaction between this rod and the water. The most common complaint associated with the anode rod is one of a "rotten egg smell". This odor is derived from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is the result of four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop: TANK PRESSURE GAUGE a. a concentration of sulfate in the supply water. b. litde or no dissolved oxygen in the water. c. a sulfate reducing bacteria within the water heater. (This harmless bacteria is non-toxic to humans.) d. an excess of active hydmgen in the:tank. This is caused by the corrosion protective action of the anode. WATER SHUTOFF RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION (VERTICAL MOUNTING) Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water heater models by replacing the anode(s) with one of less active material, and then chlorinating the water heater tank and all hot water lines. Contact Sears Service for further information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit #9001453 and this Chlorination Treatment. FLOOR,CEILING JoiST,ETC. WATER HEATER COLD WATER INLET FITTING HOT If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement and chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that continuous chlorination and filtering conditioning equipment be considered to eliminate the water problem. STRAPPING PRESSURE REDUCING INLETCOLD VALVEWITH WATER BY-PASS SHUTOFF (i) Conditions Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided. EXPANSION "AIR" (2) HOT WATER FAUCETS AWARNING PRESSURE GAUGE HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used fo'r a long Perind of tlme (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrical applianceswhich are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound similar to air escapingthrough the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the lancet at the time it isopon. ALTERNATE RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION (HORIZONTAL MOUNTING) STRANGE IN SOUNDS Possible noises due to expansion and contraction of some metal parts during periods of heat-up and cool-down do not represent harmful or dangerous conditions. Condensation causes sizzling and popping with the burner area during heatin_ and coolin_ periods and should be considered normal. See Condensation section. 23 Troubleshooting Operational (cont'd) HIGH Guide (cont'd) Conditions TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM WATER This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas shut offsystern. The high temperature shut off is built into the gas control valve. This system shuts off the gas supply to the water heater burners when high water temperatures are present. It is nonresettable. If the high temperature shut off activates, the gas control valve must be replaced. If this were to occur, turn _OFF" the entire gas supply to the water heater. Contact the Sears Service Center. • If lower temperature settings will not lower die water tempetature, call the SeaxsService Center. AWARNING HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfyclothes washing,dish washing,and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These includethe elderly,children,the infirm, or physicag ly/mentally handicapped.If anyone usinghot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a localcode or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water _ then mu must take specialprecaution_ In addition to usingthe lowest x_sible temperature setting that satlsEesyour hot water needs, means such as a mixing valve,should be usedat the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater.

If the water was extremely hot and is now cold, the high limit safety temperature shut off may have put out the burner and pilot. If the high temperature shut off activates, the gas controlvalve must be replaced. Contact the Sears Service Center. The gas control knob must be mined to the _ON" position. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too low. See the "Temperature Regulation" section. The gas company can check the gas input to see if it is correct. An underflred water heater will not heat water as quickly. i Look for leaking or open hot water faucets. Make sure all are dosed. [ AWARNING Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water temperature in certain situations may be hotter than the thermostat setting. Short, frequent draws of hot water - especially with very cold incoming water - can shock the thermostat into brief operation resulting in hotter and hotter layers of water closer to the top of the tank. Changes in hot water usage patterns or raising the temperature differential between the cut-on of the thermostat and the cold water temperature will usually eliminate the problem. • The cold water inlet temperature may be colder during the winter months. It will take longer to heat die water and seem like less hot water. • If you cannot find what is wrong, call the Sears Service Center. 24 Troubleshooting Guide (cont'd) Leakage Checkpoints Use this guide to check a "Leaking_ water heater. Many suspected "Leakers_ are not leaking tanks. Often the source of the water can be found and corrected. A CAUTION Read this mhnual first. Then before checking the water heater make sure the gas supply has been turned "OFF", and "neverturn the gas "ON" before the tank is I completely full of water. If you are not thoroughly familiar with your local gas codes your water heater, and safety practices, contact the S_ to check the water heater. A CAUTION [ Never use this water heater unlessit is completely filled I with water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank I must he filled with water. Water must flow from the hot I water faucet before turning "ON" gas to the water I heater. Water at the draft hood is water vapor which has condensed out of the combustion products. This is caused by a problem in the vent. Contact the Sears Service Center, may be seen on pipes in humid *Condensation pipe connections may be leaking. Q'The weather or primary anode rod fitting may be leaking. Small amounts of water from the temperature-pressure relief valve may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in your area. O'The temperature-pressure the tank fitting. Water from slightly. O'The Q a relief valve drain valve may be due may be leaking at to the valve opened drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting. Combustion products contain water vapor which can condense on the cooler surfaces of the tank. Droplets form and drip into the fire or run on the floor. This is common at the time ofstartup after installation and when incoming water is cold. Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from condensation, loose connections, or the relief valve. DO NOT replace the water heater until a full inspection of all possible water sources is made and necessary corrective steps taken. Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage should also be checked. NOTE: To check where threaded portion enters rank, insert cotton swab between jacket opening and fitting. If cotton is wet, follow "Draining" instructions in the "Service and Adjustment" section and then remove fitting. Put pipe dope or teflon tape on the threads and replace. Then follow "Filling the Water Heater" instructions in the "Installation Instructions" section. 25 Parts Order THE ECONOMIZER MODEL NUMBERS: 153.332318 153.332362 153.332418 153.332462 153.332562 30 30 40 40 50 TM List 5 GAS WATER HEATERS G'al.
