HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT SWITCH

(Single-Use Type Energy Cut Off)

The thermostat has a built-in limit switch which will actuate in

case of excessive water temperatures. The heater cannot be relit until the gas control valve is replaced. It is important that a ser- viceman be called to determine the reason for limit operation and thus avoid repeated thermostat replacement. Lower the tem-

perature adjustment setting on new control. Contact the Sears Service Center.

NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER

Check the manual gas shut offvalve to be sure it is open.

The ON/OFF switch on the control box must be "ON".

The temperature adjustment button may be set too low. See the "Temperature Regulation" section.

The gas company can check the gas input to see if it is correct. An underfired water heater will not heat water as quickly.

Look for leaking or open hot water faucets. Make sure all are dosed.

The cold water inlet temperature may be colder during the

winter months. It will take longer to heat the water and seem like less hot water.

lfyou cannot find what is wrong, call the Sears Service Center.
