Fire Hazard / Electric Shock Hazard
• Do not use this water heater with
any voltage other than shown on the
model rating plate.
Failure to use the correct voltage
shown on the model rating plate
could result in death, serious bodily
injury, or property damage.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended
to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which
wilt satisfy 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
physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in
your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code
or state law requiring acertain temperature water at the hot water
tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using
the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot
water needs, a means such as a mixing valve should be used at
the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater.
Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware
stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the
valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat,
read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.
See Figure 8 for mixing valve usage.
Before making the conversion to 5500 watts, make sure that the
(1)power supply is 240 volts, (2) the wiring is 10 gauge AWG
@ Type TW, 60°C or equivalent, and (3) the circuit 5reakers
or fusing are capable of 30 amp loading. Also, the installation
must conform w=th 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 hard point ink pen,
check the appropriate block within the model rating plate, which
is located adjacent to the lower access panel.
Water Piping
Water temperature over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly resulting in severe injury
or death.
Children, the elderly, and the
physically or mentally disabled
are at highest riskforscald injury.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available.

FIGURE 8.
The water supply pressure should not exceed 80 psi. If this
occurs, a pressure reducing valve with a bypass should be
installed in the cold water inlet line. This should be placed on
the supply to the entire house inorder to maintain equal hot and
cold water pressures.
Figure 9 shows the attachment of the water piping to the water
heater. The water heater isequipped with 3/4" 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
must be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the local
utility or Sears Service Center on how to control this situation.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adapter to the water inlet connection.
Do not solder the water supply lines directly to the cold
water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.
Property Damage Hazard
• Avoid water heater damage.
• Install thermal expansion tank if necessary.
• Do not apply heat to cold water inlet.
• Contact qualified installer or service agency.
