•Read the General Safety section, page 3 of this manual first and then the entire manual carefully. If you don'tfollow the safety rules, the water heater will not operate properly. It could cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of this electric water heater. It also contains warnings throughout the manual that you must read and be aware of. All warnings and all instructions are essential to the proper operation of the water heater and your
safety. Since we cannot put everything on the first few pages,
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OR OPERATE THE WATER HEATER.
•The installation must conform with the instructions in this manual; electric company rules; and Local Codes, or in
heat pump water heater unit, having an 850 Watt compressor and an external coil heat exchanger with backup electric elements.
When in Efficiency Mode the heat pump draws heat from the ambient air in the room and transfers it to the water in the tank
through the coil heat exchanger. While in Electric Mode the water heater functions like a standard electric water heater, relying on the electric elements to heat the water. A Hybrid Mode is available that relies primarily on the heat pump to heat the water while the electric elements only function during high demand periods. The more often the unit operates using the heat pump, rather than the elements, the more efficient the unit wilt be.
The large tank capacities of the Kenmore Elite Hybrid Electric Water Heaters are intended to take optimal advantage of the heat pump's capability to heat water for large families or those having higher than normal hot water requirements. The larger capacities enable the units to operate in the maximum efficiency mode more often than other models having lower capacities.
These Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters use about half the electricity of a comparably sized conventional electric water heater when operating in the Efficiency Mode and provide up to 1/2 ton cooling capacity and dehumidification. They are designed for indoor, residential applications for installation in a basement, garage or utility room.

If after reading this manual you have any questions or do not understand any portion of the instructions, call Sears Service Center.
Carefully plan the place where you are going to put the water heater. Correct electrical wiring and connections are very important in preventing death from possible electrical shock and fires.
Examine the location to ensure the water heater complies with the Facts to Consider About the Location section.
For California installation, this water heater must be braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an earthquake. See instructions for correct installation procedures. Instructions may be obtained from California's Office of the State Architect, 1102 Q Street, Suite 5100, Sacramento, CA95811. Instructions can also be downloaded to your computer at www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov/Pubs.
