Temperature-Pressure Relief

Valve Operation

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year.

TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE

DISCHARGE PIPE

Failure to install and maintain a new properly listed tempera-

ture-pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any claim which might result from excessive temperature or pressure.

AWARNING

If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weepsor dischargesperiodically,this may be due to thermal expansion. Your water heater may have a check valve installed in the water line or a water meter with a check valve.Consultthe SearsService Center for further informa- tion. Do not plugthe temperature-pressurereliefvalve.

AWARNING

When checking the temperature-pressure relief valve opera- tion, make sure that (I) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) that the water manually discharged will not cause any property damage because the water may be extremely hot.

If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the draining

instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.
