NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER

In a new installation, the water heater may not be p.roperly connected. Make sure the cold water supply valve is open. Review and check piping installation. Make sure that the cold water line is connected to the cold water inlet to the

water heater and the hot water line to the hot water outlet on the water heater.

Make sure the electrical supply to your water heater is _ON".

Check for loose or blown rises in your water heater circuit. Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not handle their ratedload and should be replaced.

Make certain the disconnecl:switch, if used, is in the "ON" position.

Check to see the electric serviceto your house has not been interrupted. If this is the case, contact the electriccompany.

Are the thermostats set to the desired temperature? See "Temperature Regulation" section.

If you had exl_erienced very hot water and now no hot water, the proolem may be due to the high temperature

shut off system. See "High Temperature Shut Off System" in the "Troubleshooting_ section.

During very cold weather, the incoming water will also be colder and it will require a longer time to become heated.

The hot water usage may exceed the capacity of the water heater. If so, wait for waterheater to recoverafter abnormal

demand. Also examine pipes and faucets for possible water leaks.

If you can not determine the problem, then call the Sears Service Department.

WATER IS TOO HOT

Adjust the thermostat to a lower setting. See the "Temperature Regulation"section.
