Operating Instructions

This water heater is equipped with an electrically operated vent-

ing system and a standing pilot. For the burner to come on, the water heater thermostat must call for heat. Then the system will

begin sequencing, each section proving itself before gas is allowed to flow to the burner.

BEFORE THE WATER HEATER WILL OPERATE:

1.The control system must be connected to a 110/120 volt power supply. The control system has an overall rating of 2 amps. The water heater must be securely and adequately grounded in accordance with local codes and with the latest edition of the Nationa! Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.

2.The ON/OFF toggle switch, located on the control box above the thermostat must be in the "ON" position for the electrical control system to operate allowing the gas portion to operate (ignite burner).

3.The pilot must be lit. See Lighting instructions on page 22 of this manual or located adjacent to the thermostat on the water heater.

4.The gas control knob located on the thermostat must be turned to the "ON" position for the gas to be able to flow.

OPERATION

When the thermostat calls for heat, gas in allowed to flow to a (Normally open) pressure switch closing it. An electrical circuit

is then made to the blower, turning it on. The indicator light located on the control box will come on. When the blower has

achieved sufficient venting, the airpressure switch will dose and the indicator light will go off. A 24volt circuit will be complet- ed through the venting manual reset switch and on to the 24 volt gas valve located just below the thermostat. The 24 volt gas valve will open allowing gas to flow to the burner. The standing pilot will establish a main burner flame.

Sears has long been a household name in American retail history, with its roots dating back to the late 19th century. The brand has transformed over the years, adapting to changing consumer needs and market trends, and its products have evolved with advancements in technologies and consumer preferences.

At the core of Sears' appeal has traditionally been its diverse range of offerings, from appliances and tools to clothing and home goods. In particular, Sears has been known for its line of Kenmore appliances, which are celebrated for their reliability and efficiency. The Kenmore brand has continually introduced innovative technologies that enhance user experience, such as energy-efficient washing machines and smart refrigerators that can be monitored from smartphones.

Sears has also been at the forefront of implementing retail technologies. The use of barcode scanning and point of sale systems streamlined the shopping experience, allowing for quicker checkouts and more accurate inventory management. Additionally, Sears embraced e-commerce early in the internet revolution, providing customers with online shopping options that catered to the growing demand for convenience.

Another distinguishing feature of Sears is its commitment to private label brands, such as Craftsman and DieHard, known for their quality and performance. Craftsman tools have been a staple for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering a wide range of products from hand tools to power equipment. Similarly, DieHard batteries are synonymous with reliability, making them a top choice for consumers when it comes to automotive needs.

In recent years, Sears has faced significant challenges due to shifts in retail shopping behavior, with many consumers moving to online platforms and discount retailers. Despite this, the company is working to modernize its approach, focusing on the integration of an omnichannel strategy that marries in-store and online shopping experiences.

With the ongoing evolution of retail, Sears continues to adapt, leveraging its history and brand recognition while exploring new technologies and methods to capture the attention of a modern consumer base. Whether through enhancing its product offerings or embracing the latest retail technologies, Sears remains a significant player in the retail landscape, aiming to navigate the changing tides of consumer preferences and market conditions.
