Filling the Water Heater

Installation Instructions (cont'd)

Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve - Optional Location

An optional temperature-pressure relief valve location is provid- ed on the jacket top andcentered between the COLD water inlet and the HOT water outlet.

If the top location is preferred, the temperature-pressure relief valve in the side location and the counter-sunk plug in the top location can be interchanged.

Be sure to use new pipe joint compound or put two to three turns of teflon tape around the threaded ends of the tempera-

ture-pressure relief valve and counter-sunk plug when re- installing these parts.

To fill the water heater with water:

Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to

the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of the water heater.

Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.

NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open when the water beater is in use.

To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by

opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run until a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out of the

water heater and the piping.

A CAUTION

Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water. To prevent damage to the tank and heating ale-

ment, the	tank	must be filled with water. Water	must
flow from	the	hot water faucet before turning	"ON"
power.

Check all new water piping for leaks. Repair as needed.

The Lower Element of the water heater can be converted from

operation at 3800 watts to 5500 watts on a 240 volt system.

If after reading these instructions and this manual, if you do not understand any portion, call Sears Service Center.

AWARNING

Before making the conversion to 5500 watts, check the

(I)power supply...must be 240 volts, (2) wiring...10 gauge

AWG, Type TW, 60C or equivalent, and (3) Circuit breakers or fusing_capable of 30 amp loading. Also, the installation must conform with this Manual, local codes and electric utility rules. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
