Draining

The water heater should be drained if being shut down during

freezing temperatures. Also periodic draining and cleaning of sediment from the tank may be necessary.

Turn the gas control knob to the "OFF" position. CLOSE the cold water inlet valve to the water heater.

OPEN a nearby hot water faucet and leave open to allow for draining.

Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate to an ade- quate drain.

OPEN the water heater drain valve to allow for tank draining. NOTE: If the water heater is going to be shut down and drained for an extended period, the drain valve should be left open with hose connected allowing water to terminate

to an adequate drain. Close the cirain valve.

Follow instructions in the "Filling The Water Heater" section.

Follow the lighting instructions in the "Lighting" section to restart the water heater.

Temperature-Pressure Relief

Valve Operation

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

TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE

RELIEF VALVE

A

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 excessivetemperature 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 SearsServiceCenter 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.
