WARNING At the time of manufacture thiswater heater was provided with a combination temperature-pressures relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspedion of produdion of listed equipment or materials,as meeting the requirements for Relief Valvesand Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems,and the latest edition of ANSI Z21.22 and the code requirementsof ASME. If replaced, the valve must meet the requirementsof local 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 periodic inspectionof produdion of listedequipment or materials. _ The valve must be marked with amaximum set pressurenot to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater (150 Ibs:q./s in.) and a dischargecapacity 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-pressurerelief valve complyingwith ANSI Z21.22 and ASME,may require a valve model different from the one furnished with the waterheater. Compliance with such local requirementsmust be satisfiedby-the installer or end user of the water heater with a locally prescribed temperature-pressurerelief 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 removedfrom it's designatedopening or plugged. The temperature-pressure reh'ef valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designatedfor the relief valve. Position the valve downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 in(_hesabove, or at any distance below the structural"floor.Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part. The dischargeopening must not be blocked or reduced in sizeunder any circumstances.Excessivelength, over 15 feet, or use of more than two elbows can causerestridion and reduce the dischargecapacity of the valve. No valve or other"obst'ructionis to be placed between the relief valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to discharge drain unlessa 6" air gap is provided. To prevent bodily injury, haz' .... a r d to life, or property-damage,the relief valve must be allowed to dischargewater in quantitiesshould circumstancesdemand. If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may causeproperty damage. The Discharge Pipe: --Must not Me smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or have any reducing couplings or other restridions. --Must not be plugged or 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 discl_argepipe. --Must terminate at an adequate drain. --Must not have any valve between the relief valve and tank. WARNING A fire can start if combustible materials such as clothing, cleaning materials, or flammable liquids are placed against or next to the water heater.

WARNING INSTALLATIONS IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (VAPORS) ARE LIKELYTO BE PRESENTOR STORED(GARAGES, STORAGE,AND UTILITY AREAS,ETC):Flammableliquids(suchas gasoline,solvents,propane (LP) or butane, etc.), all of which emit flammable vapors, may be improperly stored or used in such areas. The gas water heater pilot light or main burner can ignite such vapors.The resultingflashback and fire can causedeath or seriousburnsto anyone in the area, as well as pro_rty damage. If installationin suchareas 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 thismay reducethe changesof flammable vaporsfrom a floor spill being ignited, gasoline and other flammable substancesshould never I_ storedor usedin the same room or area containinga gas water heater or other open flame or sparkproducingappliance. NOTE: Flammable vapors may be drawn by air (_urrentsfrom other areasof the structureto the appliance. WARNING HOTTER WATERCAN SCALD:Water heatersare intendedto produce hot water. Water heated to a temperaturewhich will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanentlyinjure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped.If anyoneusinghot water in your home fits into one of thesegroupsor if there is a local code or statelaw requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take specialprecautions.In addition to usingthe lowest possibletemperaturesettingthat satisfiesyour hot water needs,some type of tempering device, such as a mixing valve, shouldhe used at the hot water taps usedby thesepeople or at the water heater. Mixing valvesare availableat plumbing supplyor hardwarestores. Follow manufacturersinstructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation"sectionin this manual. WARNING BEFORELIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER HEATERS]: Propane(LP.) gasis heavier than air. Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will settle near the ground. Basements,crawl spaces,skirtedareas under mobile homes(even when ventilated), closetsand areasbelow ground level will serve aspocketsfor the accumulationof this g as, Before attempting to light or. relight• the • ---_ water heater'spilot or turning on a nearby electrical light switch, be absolutelysure there is no accumulated gasin the area. Search for odor of gas by sniffing at _round level in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected, _'ollow stepsindicated at "For Your Safety"on the coverpage of thismanual then leave the premises. WARNING Do not use this appliance if any part of it hasbeen under water. Immediately call a SearsService Technicianto inspectthe appli. ance and to replace the gas control or any part of the burner system which hasbeen underwater. WARNING ;This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. Carpetin.gmust be protected by a metal or woodpanel beneath the appliance extending b.eyondthe full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any direction, or if the appliance !s installed inan a!coveor closet,the entire floor must be covered by the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in a fire hazard. WARNING 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, unlessyou 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 questionsat all, call your gas company. Failure toprovide the proper amount of combustion air can result in a fire or explosion and can cause DEATH, . SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTYDAMAGE. WARNING If this water heater will be used in beauty shops,barber shops, cleaning establishments,or self-servicelaundrieswith dry clean"ing equlpment, 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 "Locating The New Water Heater" section of thismanual and alsothe latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54 for specificsprovided concerning air required. WARNING _VENTDAMPERS- 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 excessof 80% may producea relatively low flue gas temperature. Such temperatures may not be high enough to properly open thermally operated vent dampers. This would causespillage of flue gasesandmay causecarbon monox'ide poisoning. Vent dampers must bear evidence of 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 installationof any vent damper, consult your local SearsService Center or the gas utility for further information. WARNING 1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gassupply piping systemduring any pressure testingof the gas systemat test pressuresin excessof '/2pound per square inch (3.5kPa). 2. The appliance must be isolatedfrom the gassupplypiping system by closin.gits individual manual..shutoffvarve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping systemat test pressuresequal or lessthan _2pound per squareinch (3.5kPa). WARNING _!Soot build-up indicates a problem that requirescorrection before further use. Turn "OFF" gas to water heater and leave "OFF" until repairs are made, becausefailure to correct the causeof the Sooting can result in a fire or explosion causing DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,OR PROPERTYDAMAGE. WARNING The water heater with draft hood installed must be properly vented to a chimney which terminates outdoors. Never operate the water heater unlessit is vented to the outdoors and has adequate air supply to avoid risksof improper operation, explosion or asphyxiateon. WARNING Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present a serious health riskor asphyxiation. WARNING Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent systemmay occur if air for combustioncontains certain chemical val_rs. Spraycan propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chem|cals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach, and processchemicalsare typical compoundswhich are potentially corrosive. WARNING Minimum clearancesbetween the water heater and combustible constructionare 1" at the sidesand 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 a!lowed on some models.Refer to the label on the water heater adjacent to the gascontrol valve for all clearances. WARNING HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogengascan be producedin a hot water systemthat hasnot been usedfor a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas ts _ extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent the poss_ility of injury under these conditions, we recommendthe hot water faucetbe opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrfcal appliances which 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 unusualsoundsim]lar to a!r escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smokingor open flame near the faucet at the time it is open. WARNING INSULATING JACKETS:When installing an external water heater insulationjacket on a gas water heater: a. DO NOT cover the temperature-pressurerelief valve. b. DO NOT put insulationover any part of the top of the gas water heater. c. DO NOT put insulation over the gas control valve or gas control valve/burner cover,or any accessareas to the burner. d. DO NOT let insulation around the gas water heater to get within 8 inchesof the floor (air must get to the burner). e. DO NOT cover or remove operating instructions, and safety related warning labels and materials affixed to the water heater. Failure to heed this will result in the possibility of a fire or explosion. WARNING Do not usethis appliance if any part of it has been under water. Immediately call a SearsServiceTechmclan to inspect the appliance andto replace the gascontrol or any part of the burner system which hasbeen underwater. CAUTION WATER HEATERSEVENTUALLYLEAK: Installation of the water heater must be accomplishedin such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of water will not cause damageto the structure. When such locations cannot be avoid. ed, a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater.

Some installations require that the water be turned off to the entire house. Disconnect the vent pipe from the draft hood where they connect 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 the draft hood which must be used for proper operation. O a. lf 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 will 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. ® ® Q iTh Check again to supply is "OFF" Then disconnect nection from the make sure the gas to the water heater. the gas supply congas control valve. 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.

WARNING e water passin£ out of the drain valve may be extremely hot 1_oavoid being scalded, make sure all connec'tionsare tight and that the water ow is directed away from any person. 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. CAUTION Mineral buildup or ._edlmentmay haye 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 stalnlng. 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 of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not for use in 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. I. 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 piping system as possible. The water heater, as all water heaters, will eventually leak. Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where water flow will cause damage. 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, the 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 1'/2 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. WARNING 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.) or other substances (such as adhesives, etc.), all of which emit flammable vapors, may be imiprroperly, stored, or used. in such areas: The. gas water heater pdot hght or mare burner can ign,te such vapors. The resulting flashback and fire can cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area, as well as ropertv damalze. installation I_n such areas is your only option, then the installation must be accomplished in a way that the pilot flame and main burner flame are elevated from the floor at least 18 inches. While this may reduce the changes of flammable vapors from a floor spill being ignited, gasoline and other flammable substances should never be stored or used in the same room or area containing a gas water heater or other open flame or spark produi:ingappliance. Also, the water heater; must be located and/or protected so it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle. NOTE: Flammable vapors may be drawn by air currents from other areas of the structure to the appliance. WARNING 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 corroslve hydrochloric acid when exposed to the combustion products ot the water heater. The results can be hazardous, and also cause product failure. 2. The location selection must provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater.

If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local 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 laborato_ that maintains periodic 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 cai_city not lessthan the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate. (Electric heaters - watts divided by 1000 x 3415 equa| BTU/Hr. rate.) Your local jurisdictional authority, while mandating the use of a temperature-pressure relief valve complyingwith ANSI Z21.22 and ASME, may require a valve moc'lel d_erent 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 €leslgnated opening in the water heater in place of the factory furnished valve. 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 fittin_of the water heater designated for the relief valve. Position t_e valve downward and provide tubing sothat any discharge will exit only within 6 inches above, or at any distance below 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 15 feet_ or use of more than two 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 discharge drain unless a 6" air gap is provided. To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life, or oroperty damage, the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water in quantities should circumstances demand. If the discharge pnpe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, t-hewater flow may cause property damage. The Discharlze Pipe: . _ '--Must not Ee smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or have any reducing couplingsor other restriction. ---Must not be plumedor blocked. _ust be of mate_]'al listed for hot water distribution. _ust be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the temperature-pressure relief valve, and the discharge The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage because the water may be extremely hot.

A water heater may appear to be leaking when in fact the water is condensation. This usually happens when: a. When a new water heater is filled with cold water for the first time. b. When gas burns and water vapor is produced in water heaters, particularly high efficiency models where flue temperatures are lower. c. When you use large amounts of hot water in a short time and the refill water is very cold. sure relief valve is reached, the valve will relieve the excess pressure. The temperature-pressure relief valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion. This is an unacceptable condition and must be corrected. 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 SearsService Center for assistance in controlling these situations. Moisture from the products of combustion condense on the cooler tank surfaces and form drops of water which may fall onto the burner or other hot surfaces to produce a "sizzling" or "frying" noise. STRANGE SOUNDS Excessive condensation can cause pilot outage due to water running down the flue tube onto the main burner and putting out the pilot. 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. 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. Condensation causes sizzling and popping with the burner area during heating and cooling periods and should be considered normal. See "Condensation" section. Do not assume the water heater is leaking until there has been enough time for the water in the tank to warm up. Operational 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. SMELLY WATER In each water heater there is installed at least on anode rod (see parts section) for corrosion protection of the tank. 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: a. a concentration of sulfate in the supply water. b. little or no dissolved oxygen in the water. c. a sulfate redurLing bacteria within the water heater. (This harmless bacteria is non-toxic to humans.) d. an excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by the corrosion protective action of the anode. Excessive condensation may be noticed during the winter and early spring months when incoming water temperatures are at their lowest. Good venting is essential for a gas fired water heater to operate properly as well as to carry away products of combustion and water vapor. SMOKE/ODOR It is not uncommon to experience a small amount of smoke and odor during the initial start-up. This is due to burning off of oil from metal parts, and will disappear in a short while. THERMAL Conditions 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 the local water heater supplier for further information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit #9001453 and this Chlorination Treatment. EXPANSION Water supply systems may, because of high line pressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer and 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 closed. As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water. If the smelly water persists after the anode replacemer and chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that con tinuous chlorination and filtering conditioning equipmer be considered to eliminate the water problem. Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotecte( By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank voided. 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-pres18 "AIR" IN HOT WATER NOT ENOUGH FAUCETS 1. Check the manual gas shut off valve to be sure it is open. 2. Check the pilot flame. It may have gone out. All models have an opening behind the outer door for viewing the pilot. 3. If the pilot is not lit, follow the "Lighting" instructions in this manual or located above the gas control valve on the water heater to relight the pilot. 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 control valve must be replaced. Contact the Sears Service Center. 4. The gas control knob must be turned to the "ON" position. 5. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too low. See the "Temperature Regulation" section. 6. The gas company can check the gas input to see if it is correct. An underfired water heater will not heat water as quickly. 7. Look for leaking or open hot water faucets. Make sure all are closed. 8. The cold water inlet temperature may be colder during the winter months. It will take longer to heat the water and seem like less hot water. 9. If you cannot find what is wrong, call the 5ears Service Center. WARNING HYDROGEN GAS. Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen _as is extremely flammable and explosive• To prevent the _ibility of injury under these conditions, we recomrnend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen ,as is present, there will probab|y be an unusual sound imdar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water aucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open lame near the faucet at the time it is open. HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas shut 6if system. The high temperature shut off is built into the g_s control valve. This system shuts off the gas supply to the water heater burners when high water temperatures _e present. It is non-resettable. 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 [_e water heater. Contact the Sears Service Center. [ihould overheating WATER IS TOO HOT 1. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too high. See the "Temperature Adjustment" section. NOTE: A period of time is necessary after an adjustment has been made for the water temperature to reach the new temperature setting.
