Safety Precautions

_,WARNING

I

The water heater wi_talled

must be prep- I

erly vented to a chimney which terminates outdoors. I

Never operate the water heater unless it is vented to the outdoors and has adequate air supply to avoid risks of improper operation, explosion or asphyxiation.

AWARNING

Hinimum clearances between the water heater and com- bustible construction are 0" at the sides and rear, 5" at the front, and 0" from the vent pipe. Clearance from the top of the jacket is 14" on most models. Note that a lesser dimension may be allowed on some models. Refer to the

label on the water heater adjacent to the gas control valve for all clearances.

•,WARNING--1

Do not use this appliance if any part of it has been under I

water. Immediately call a Sears Service Technician to I inspect the appliance and to replace the gas control or any I part of the burner system which has been under water.

_,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 gas is

extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent the possi- bility 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 pre- sent, there will 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.

AWARNING

INSULATING JACKETS: When installing an external water heater insulation jacket on a gas water heater:

•DO NOT cover the temperature-pressure relief valve.

•DO NOT put insulation over any part of the top of the gas water heater.

•DO NOT put insulation over the gas control valve or gas

control valve/burner cover, or any access areas to the burner.

•DO NOT let insulation around the gas water heater to get within 8 inches of the floor (air must get to the burner).

•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.

_WARNINGI

Vent termination must not be within 4 feet of any items such as gas meters, gas valves or other gas regulating equipment.

ACAUTION

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 avail- able at your local Sears store. Such a drain pan must be not greater than 11/2 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 ade- quate 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 connec- tion with this water heater.
