NFPA 54 for specificsprovided concerningair required.

WARNING

VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is operated ther- mally or otherwise must be removed if its use inhibits proper

drafting of the water heater.

Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters hav- ing thermal efficiency in excessof B0% may produce a relatively low flue gas temperature. Such temperatures may not be high enough to properly open thermally operated vent dampers. Tl_is woula causespillage of flue gasesandmay cause carbon monox- ide poisoning.

Vent dampers must bear evidence of certification as complying with the atest 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 SearsService Center or the gas utitity for further information°

WARNING

I.The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be discon- nected from the gas supply piping systemduring any pressure testing of the gas system at test pressures in excess of '/_

pound-persquare inch (3_5kPa).

2.The appliance must he isolatedfrom the gas supplypiping sys- tem by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at tesl pres- suresequaSor lessthan '/2poundper squareinch (3_5kPa).

WARNING

sooting can result in a fire or explosion causing DEATH, SERI-

OUS 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 ade-

quate air supply to avoid risks of improper operation, explosion or asphyxiatlon_

WARNING

Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present a serious heatth riskor asphyxiation.

WARNING

Chemical vapor corrosionof the flue and vent systemmay occur if air for combustioncontainscertain chemical vapors°Spray can

propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool cheml'cals,calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach, and process chemicalsare typical com- pounds which are potentlally corrosive°

WARNING

Minimum clearancesbetween the water heater and combustible construction are 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 allowed

on some models. Gas water heaters acceptable for use on com- bustible floors in an alcove or closeL Refer to the label on the

water heater adjacent to the gascontrol vaive for ali clearances.

WARNING

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogengas can be produced in a hot water

systemthat 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 possibilityof injury under these condi- tions, we recommendthe hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink beforeany electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dish- washeror washingmachine). If hydrogengasis 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 faucetat the time it is open°

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 use this appliance if any part of it has been under water. Immediately call a SearsServiceTechnician to insp.ecttee appli- ance and to replace the gas control or any part of the burner sys- tem which hasbeen under water.
