HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM

This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas shut offsys- tern. The high temperature shut off is built into the gas control valve. This system shuts off the gas supply to the water heater burners when high water temperatures are present. It is non- resettable. If the high temperature shut off activates, the gas con- tml valve must be replaced. If this were to occur, turn _OFF" the

entire gas supply to the water heater. Contact the Sears Service Center.

. AWARNING.I Should overheating occur or the gassupply fail to shut off,

turn "OFF" the manualgascontrol valveto the app ance.

AWARNING

Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water temperature in certain situations may be hotter

than the thermostat setting.

Short, frequent draws of hot water - especiallywith ve.ry cold incoming water - can shock the thermostat into bnef

operation resulting in hotter and hotter layers of water closerto the top of the tank.

Changes in hot water usage patterns or raising the tem- perature differential between the cut-on of the thermo- stat and the coldwater temperature will usuallyeliminate the problem.
