WARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are

intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem- pleraturewhich will satisfyspace heating, clothes washing, ish 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 include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot i water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain tem- perature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to usingthe lowest possi- ble temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water 1eater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or _ardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before changingthe factory set-

ting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature

Regulation" section in this manual.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the

water heater. The water heater is equipped with ¾" water connections.

If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system; such as one having a back-flow preventer, check valve, water meter with a check valve, erc. in the cold water supply; means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the local utility or local Sears Service Center on how to control this situation.

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet connec- tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.

Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the

threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around both ends of the _" threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-

tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet of the water heater.
