HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are
intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem-
perature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing,
dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and
permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are
more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than
others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or
physicallylmentally handicapped. If anyone using hot
water in your home fits into one of these groups or if
there isa local code or state law requiring a certain tem-
perature water at the hot water tap, then you must take
special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possi-
ble temperature setting that satisfies your hot water
needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall be used at
the hot water taps used by these people or at the water
heater. Hixing valves are available at plumbing supply or
hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for
installation of the valves. Before changing the factory set-
ting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature
Regulation" section in this manual.
The illustration shows the attachment of the water i ing to the
PP
water heater. The water heater is equipped with % inch water
connections.
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: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adaptor to the cold water inlet connec-
tion. Do not solder the cold water supply llne directly to the
cold water inlet. It w_ harm the dip tube and damage the
tank.
1. 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 "%"threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-
tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet of the
water heater.
2. Look at the top cover of the water heater. The cold water inlet
is marked cold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around
the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and
around both ends of the %" threaded nipple. Using flexible
connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the cold water inlet
of the water heater.
NOTE: Yourwater heater is super insulated to minimize heat
loss from the tank. Further reduction in heat toss can be
accomplished by insulating the hot water lines from the
water heater.
