Safety Precautions

_,WARNING

Agas water beater cannot operate properly without the correct amount of air for combustion. Do not install in a

confined area such a closet, unless you provide air as shown in the "Facts to Consider About the Location" sec-

tion. Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air. If you have any doubts or questions at all, call your gas company. Failure to provide the proper amount of combustion air can result in a fire or explosion and can cause DEATH

SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

AWARNING

This water heater must not be installed directly on car- peUng. Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood

panel beneath the appliance extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any direction, or if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet,the entire floor must be covered b the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in i fire hazard.

A, WARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tam- peraturo which will satisfy clothes washing; dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These includethe eldedy, children, the infirm, or physically/men- tally handicapped.If anyone usinghot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take specialprecautions.In addi- tion to usingthe lowest possibletemperature setting that satisfiesyour hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shouldbe used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valvesare available

at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufac- turers instructions for installation of the valves. Before

changingthe factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" sectionin this manual.

_,WARNING

Soot build-up indicates a problem that requires correc- tion 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 or

explosion causing DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

AWARNING

BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.R) GAS WATER HEATERS]: Propane (L.R) gas is heavier than air. Should there be a leak in the system, the gaswill settle near the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted areas under mobile homes (even when ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as pocketsfor the accumula- tion of this gas. Before attempting to light or relight the water heater'spilot or turning on a nearby electrical light switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the ares Search for odor of gas by sniffingat ground level in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected, follow steps indicated at "For Your Safety" on the cover page of this manual then leavethe premises.

AWARNING

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

Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters having thermal efficiency in excess of 80% may produce a relatively low flue gastemperature. Such tem- peratures may not be high enoughto properly open ther- mally operated vent dampers. This would causespillageof flue gasesand may causecarbon monoxide poisoning.

Vent dampers must bear evidenceof certification as com- plying with the latest edition of American National Standard ANSI Z21.68 (ANSI Z21.66 & 67, respectively,

cover electrically and mechanically actuated vent dampers). Before installationof any vent damper, consult your local Sears Service Center or the gas utility for fur- ther information.

_,WARNING

•The appliance and its individualshutoffvalvemust be dis- connected from the gassupplypiping system during any pressure testing of the gas system at test pressuresin excessof ½ poundper squareinch (3.5kPa).

•The appliance must be isolatedfrom the gassupply pip- ing system by closingits individual manual shutoffvalve during any pressure testing of the gas supplypiping sys-

tem at test pressuresequal or less than Y_pound per squareinch (3.5kPa).

_,WARNING

Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical

vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaningsolvents,refrigera- tor and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach,

and process chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive.

A, WARNING

i

Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present a serioushealth risk or asphyxiation.
