changing the factory settingon the thermostat, read the
"Tempor_umRegulation" section inthis manual.
This water heater shall not be connected to any heating systems
or component(s) used with a non-potable water heating appli-
ance.
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.SearsService Center on how to control this
situation.
NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and
cold water fittings, it b strongly recommended that dielec-
tric unions or couplings be installed on this water heater
when connected to copper pipe.
The illustrationshows the attachmentof the water pipingto the
water heater.The water beater is equipped with 'h inch water
connections,
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before etmching the adapter to the cold water inlet connec-
tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the
cold water inlet or it will harm the dip tube.
1. Look at the top cover of the water heater. The hot water oudet 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 _A threaded nipple. Using flexible connectors, con-
nect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet on 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-tu-sweat coupling
and around both ends of the _A threaded nipple. Using flexi-
ble connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the coldwater
inlet of the water heater.
NOTE: This water heater is 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.
