Page 20

Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water heater models by replacing the anode rod (s) with one of tess active material, and then chlorinating the water heater tank and all hot water lines. Contact the local Sears Service Center for further information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit #9001453 and this Chlorination Treatment. Anode replacement and

chlorination of the tank are not covered by the water heater's limited warranty.

If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement and chlorination treatment; then you should consider chlorinating or aerating your water supply.

Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.

"AIR" IN HOT WATER FAUCETS

•Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical

supply to the water heater is turned "OFF".

•Failure to do this could result in death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.

1.Before beginning, turn "OFF" electrical power supply to the water heater.

Explosion Hazard

• Flammable hydrogen gases may be present.

• Keep all ignition sources away from faucet when turning on hot water.

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 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 connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there wilt probably be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

RUMBLING NOISE

In some water areas, scale or mineral deposits wilt build up on your heating elements. This buildup wilt cause a rumbling noise. Follow Element Cleaning/Replacement instructions to clean and replace the elements.

HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM

The water heater has a high limit shut off system with a reset button located on the thermostat.

Follow the resetting instructions which refer to the high limit behind the access panel.

NOTE: If your water heater is connected to an "Off Peak" Clock, and uses the "3 wire lead" wiring diagram in the Wiring Diagram section, then the water heater wilt have a high limit on both the lower thermostat. Follow the instructions to reset the high-limit behind the lower access panel.
