Temperature-Pressure Relief

Valve Operation

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year.

Burn hazard

Hotwater discharge.

Keep clear of reHiefvalve

, Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical

supply to the water heater is turned "OFF".

', Failure to do tHs could result in death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.

2.Take off the upper and/or lower access panel, insulation cap with handle.

3.The slotted adjustment (using a screwdriver) can be turned

clockwise ( f_ ) to increase the temperature setting or counter clockwise ( _'_ ) to decrease the temperature setting.

4.Replace the insulation cap with handle and access panel.

5.Turn 'ON" the power supply.

Anode Rod inspection

Property Damage Hazard

, Avoid water heater damage.

• Inspection and replacement of anode as needed.

The anode rod is used to protect the tank from corrosion. Most

hot water tanks are equipped with an anode rod. The

submerged rod sacrifices itself to protect the tank. Instead of corroding the tank, water ions attack and eat away the anode rod. This does not affect the water's taste or color. The rod must be maintained to keep the tank in operating condition.

Anode deterioration depends on the water conductivity, not

necessarily water condition. A corroded or pitted anode rod

indicates high water conductivity and should be checked and/ or replaced more often than an anode rod that appears to be

intact. Replacement of a depleted anode rod can extend the

life of your water heaten Inspection should be conducted by calling Sears Service Center. At a minimum the anode(s) should be checked annually after the warranty period.

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 will not cause any property damage or bodily injury. The water may be extremely hot.

RELIEF VALVE

DISCHARGE PiPE

FIGURE 28.

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,

Failure to install and maintain a new properly listed temperature°

pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any

claim which might result from excessive temperature or pressure.

If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps

or discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion. Your water heater may have a 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.
