Vent System Inspection

Carbon Monoxide and Fire Hazard

,Fiue gases may escape if ,vent pipe is not connected,

. Be alert for obstructed, sooted or

deteriorated vent system to avoid serious injury or death.

-Do not store corrosive chemicaIs in vicinity of water heater

*Chemical corrosion of flue and vent

system can cause serious injury or death

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

At least once a year, a visual inspection should be made of the main burner and pilot burner. See Figure 30.

You should check for sooting. Soot is not normal and will impair proper combustion.

Soot build-up indicates a problem that requires correction before further use. Turn "OFF" gas to water heater and leave off until repairs are made, because failure to correct the cause of the sooting can result in a fire causing death, serious injury, or property damage.

FIGURE 30.

At least once a year, a visual inspection should be made of the venting system. You should look for:

• Obstructions which could cause improper venting. The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed.

•Damage or deterioration which could cause improper venting or leakage of combustion products.

•Rusted flakes around top of water heater.

Be sure the vent piping is properly connected to prevent escape of dangerous flue gasses which could cause deadly asphyxiation.

Obstructions and deteriorated vent systems may present serious health risk or asphyxiation.

Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach and process chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive.

If when inspecting the vent system you find sooting or deterioration, something is wrong. Call the local gas supplier to correct the problem and clean or replace the flue and venting before resuming operation of the water heater.

Burner Inspection

Flood damage to a water heater may not be readily visible or immediately detectable. However, over a period of time a flooded water heater will create dangerous conditions which can cause

DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Contact a Sears Service Center to replace a flooded water heater. Do not attempt to repair the unit! It must be replaced!

Burner Cleaning

Fire or Explosion Hazard

Failure to properly reseal the combustion chamber will disable the flammable vapor ignition resistance feature of this water heater, which could result in death or serious injury. Contact your local Sears Service Center for assistance.

installing, using or servicing Read instruction manual before water heater.

If inspection of the burner shows that cleaning is required, turn the gas control knob counterclockwise ( _ ) to the "OFF" position.

The burner needs to be removed for cleaning. Call the Sears Service Center to remove and clean the burner and correct the

problem that required the burner to be cleaned.
