AWARNING

If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps or discharges periodically, this may be due to ther-

mal 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.

Draining

The water heater should be drained if being shut down during

freezing temperatures. Also periodic draining and cleaning of sediment from the tank may be necessary.
