The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that

(1)no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature- pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged wilt not cause any bodily injury or property damage because 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 draining instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.

Filling the Water Heater

Property Damage Hazard

Avoid water heater damage.

Fill tank with water before operating.

Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning "ON" gas to the water heater.

To fill the water heater with water:

Close the water heater drain valve by inserting a flat head screwdriver in the slot on the stem and turn 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 heater 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.

Check all water piping and connections for leaks. Repair as needed.

Venting

VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is operated thermally or otherwise must be removed if its use inhibits proper drafting of the water heater.

Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters having thermal efficiency in excess of 80% may produce a relatively tow flue gas temperature. Such temperatures may not be high enough to properly open thermally operated vent dampers. This would cause spillage of the flue gases and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Vent dampers must bear evidence of certification as complying with the current edition of the American National Standard

ANSI Z21.68 (ANSI Z21.66 & 67, respectively, cover electrically and mechanically actuated vent dampers). Before installation of any vent damper, consult your local Sears Service Center or the local gas supplier for further information.

Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas

Vent dampers must be certified in accordance with ANSI Z21.68.

Vent damper must permit proper drafting of water heater.

Install properlysizedventing,

Do not install without venting outdoors.

Do not installwithout drafthood

If common vented install in accordance with NFPA 54.

Be alert for obstructed or deterio- rated vent system to avoid serious injury or death.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or death. Always read and understand instruction manual.

To insure proper venting of this gas-fired water heater, the correct vent pipe diameter must be utilized. Any additions or deletions of other gas appliances on a common vent with this water heater may adversely affect the operation of the water heater. Consult your gas supplier if any such changes are planned. For replacement heater installations where pre-existing venting is used, the venting must be inspected for obstructions and if deterioration is present, it must be replaced.

For proper venting in certain installations, a larger diameter vent pipe may be necessary. Consult your local Sears Service Center or gas supplier to aid you in determining the proper venting for

your water heater from the vent tables in the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Periodically check the venting system for signs of obstruction or deterioration and replace if needed.

The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed.

The water heater with draft hood installed must be connected to a chimney or listed vent pipe system, which terminates to the outdoors. 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.

For proper draft hood attachment, the draft hood legs may be angled slightly inward.

Place the draft hood legs in the receiving holes on the top of the water heater. The legs wilt snap in the holes to give a tight fit. Secure the legs to top with sheet metal screws. See Figure 17.

Place the vent pipe over the draft hood. With the vent pipe in position, drill a small hole through both the vent pipe and draft hood. Secure them together with a sheet metal screw.

Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present serious health risk or asphyxiation.
