AWARNING

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution shouldbe taken to ensure that (I) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually dischargedwill not causeany property damage or bodily injury. The water may be extremely hot.

If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the drain-

ing instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.

Failure to install and maintain a new properly listed tempera- ture-pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any claim which might result from excessive temperature or pressure.

AWARNING

If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps or dischargesperiodically,this may be due to ther-

mal expansion.Your water heater may havea check valve installed in the water line or a water meter with a check

valve. Consult your local Sears Service Center for further information. Do not plug the temperature-pressure relief

valve.
