STEPS TO INSTALL YOUR WATER HEATER (Continued) _.

TIME SWITCH OR OFF PEAK WIRING

•For TIME SWITCH or "OFF-PEAK"operation of the lower element see either FIG.3E or 3F wiringschematic.

CAUTION: If you are going to wire the unit for either a TIME SWITCH or "OFF-PEAK"operation, the black wire from TerminalNo. 4 ofthe limit switch must be disconnected

and replaced totally or disconnected and joined with a new section of wire using a proper connector. BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL LOCAL AND NATIONAL CODES AND ELECTRIC UTILITY REQUIREMENTSWHEN MAKING THE CONNECTIONS.

Dual element water heaters are designed to allow only one element to heat at a time. This method is called

non-simultaneous operation and is necessary to avoid overloading wiring in the house per the National Electric Code. Off-Peak wiring methods must ensure proper use of the high limit control in at least one line to each element and use the non-simultaneous feature.

WARNING

IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH WIRING AND YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, YOU SHOULD GET HELP FROM A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. IF YOU DO SOMETHING

WRONG, SEVERE BURN OR SHOCK HAZARDS CAN RESULT.

-WATER HEATER START-UP.

To comply with safety regulations, the Kenmore Survivor water heater is factory set to heat water to 120 degrees F. At this •temperature, water is hot enough for most household : ' needs. A setting of 120° F, or lower if local codes require, is recommended as a starting point.

Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when selecting the water temperature setting of water heater's thermostat. The lower the setting the greater the safety and savings in energy and operating cost.

TIME/TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPSIN SCALDS

Temperature		Time to Produce Serious Burn
120° R		More than 5 minutes
125° E		11/2to	2 minutes
130	° F.	About	30	seconds
