Installation Instructions (cont*d)

Filling the Water Heater

A CAUTION

Never use this water heater unless it is completely filled wnth

water. 1b prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled

with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet

before turning "ON" gas to the water heater.

To fill the water heater with water:

• Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to

the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of

the water heater.

• Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.

NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open

when the water heater is in nse.

• To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by

opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run

until a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out of the

water heater and the piping.

• Check ail new water piping for leaks. Repair as needed.

Venting

AWARNING

VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is operated

thermally or otherwise must be remov^ if its use inhibits prop

er drafting of the water heater.

Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters

having thermal efficienqr in excess of 80% may produce a rela

tively low flue gas temperature. Such temperatures may not be

high enough to properly open thermally operated vent

dampers. Ibis would cause splll^ of flue ga^ and may cause

carbon monoxide poisoning.

Vent dampers must bear ^dence of certification as complying

with the latest edition of American National Standard ANSI

Z2I.68 (ANSI Z2I.66 & 67, respectively, cover electrically and

mechanically actuated vent dampers). Before installation of any

vent damper, consult your loc^ Sears Service Center or the gas

utility for further information.

AWARNING

To insure proper venting of this gasdired water heater, the

correct vent pipe diameter must ^ utiHxed. Any additions or

ddetions of ot^ gas appliances on a common vent witii this

water heater may adversely affect the operation of the water

heater. Consult tiie local Sears Service Center or gas utility if

any such changes are planned.

For proper venting in certain installations, a larger diameter vent

pipe may be necessary. Due to great variances in installations,

unforeseeable by the manufaaurer of the water heater, той must

consult your gas company to aid you in determining the proper

venting for your water heater from the vent tables in the latest edi

tion of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, also referred to

as NFPA 54.

Check the venting system for signs of obstruction or deterioration

and replace if needed. .

The combustion and ventilation air ftow must not be obstructed.

AWARNING

Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present a serious

health risk or asphyxiation.

Place the draft hood legs in the receiving holes on the top of

the water heater. The legs will snap in the holes to give a tight

fit.

Place the vent pipe over the draft hood. With the vent pipe in

position, drill a small hole through both the vent pipe and

draft hood. Secure them together with a sheet metal screw.

AWARNING

The water heater with draft hood installed must be properiy

vented to a chimney which terminates outdoors. Never oper^

ate the water heater unless it is vented to the outdoors wid has

adequate air supply to avoid risks of iniproper operation, explo

sion or asphyxiation.

AWARNING

The vent pipe from the vrater heater must be no less than the

diameter of the draft hood outlet on the water heater, and

must slope upward to the chimney at least % inch per linear

foot
