Locating the New Water
Heater
Facts to Consider About the
Location
You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water
heater, because the placement is a very important consideration
for the safety of the-occupants in the building arid for the most
economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not intend-
ed for outdoor installation.
Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water
heater in a new location, the following critical points must be
observed.
1. The location selected should be indoors as close to and as cen-
tra]ized with the water piping system as possible. This water
heater, as well as all water heaters, witl eventually leak. Do not
instal! without adequate drainage provisions where water flow
will cause damage.
_CAUTION
WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of
the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner
that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of
water will not cause damage to the structure. When such
locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should
be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are avail-
able at your local Sears Store. Such a drain pan must be
piped to an adequate drain. Under no circumstances is
the manufacturer or Sears to be held liable for any water
damage in connection with this water heater.
ACAUTION
INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES: The
water heater must be located andlor protected so it is not
subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.
2. The location selection must provide adequate clearances for
servicing and proper operation of the water heater.
Facts to Consider About The
Convertible Lower Element
The Upper Element (if a double element model), is a conven-
tional 3800 watt element -which only operates at its rated
wattage on 240 volts. (See rating plate on water heater).
The Lower Element of the water heater can be converted from
operation at 3800 watts to 5500 watts on a 240 volt system.
Read and follow water heater warnings and instruc6ons.If a_er
reading these instructions in this manual, if you do not under_
stand any portion, call Sears Service Center.
_I_WARNI NG
Before making the conversion to 5500 watts, check the
(I) power supply...must be 240 volts, (2) wiring...10 gauge
AWG @ type T.W. 60c or equivalent, and (3) Circuit
breakers or fusing...capable of 30 amp loading. Also, the
installation must conform with this manual, local codes
and electric utility rules. Failure to comply can result in
death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.
NOTE: Whether or not the element conversion is made the
model rating plate must be marked. Using a hardpoint ink
pen, check the appropriate block within the model rating
plate, which is located adjacent to the lower access panel.
