Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation"sectionin this manual.

This water heater shall not be #onnected to any heating systems

or component(s) used with a non-potable water heating appliance.

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, etc.., 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: Toprotect against untimely corrosion of hot and

cold water fittings, it is stronl_ly recommended that di-elec- tric untons or couplings be mstalled on this water heater when connected to copper pipe.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with ¾ inch water connections.

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter

before attaching the adapter to the cold w,.ater'.mlet connec- tion. Do not solder the cold water supply llne 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 ¾" threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-

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

NOTE: This water heater is super insulated to minimize heat loss from the tank. Further reduction in heat loss

can be accomplished by insulating the hot water lines from the water heater.
