AWARNING
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD=Water heatersare intended to
produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will
satisfyclotheswashing, dishwashing, and other sanitizing needs
can scaldand permanently injure you upon contact. Some peo-
ple are more likelyto be permanently injured by hot water than
others.These includethe elderly, children,the infirm, or physical-
lylmentaily handicapped.If anyone usinghot water in your home
fitsinto one ofthese groupsor if there isa localcede or state law
requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then
you must take specialprecautions,in additionto usingthe lowest
possibletemperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs,
a means suchas a mixing valve, shouldbe usedat the hot water
taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves
are availableat plumbing supplyor hardware stores. Follow man-
ufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before
changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the
"Temperature Regulation"section inthis manual.
A WARNING I
This water heater shall not be connected to any I
heating systems or component(s) used with a non-
potab e water heating appliance. I
ITo AWARNING ]
xlc chemicals such as used for treatment of boilers|
r non-potable water heating appliances shall never|
e introduced into a potable water heating system, |
• 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 flexi-
ble connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the coldwater
inlet of 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.

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 firings, it is strongly recommended that di-elec-
tric unions or couplings be installed 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 water inlet connec-
tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line 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 V_" threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-
tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet on
the water heateL
