If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset

and continues to release water, immediately close the cold water

inlet to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and

replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.

Failure to install and maintain a new properly listed temperature-

pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any claim

which might result from excessive temperature or pressure.

If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps

or discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion.

Your water heater may have a check valve installed in the water

line or a water meter with a check valve. Consult your local

Sears Service Center for further information. Do not plug the

temperature-pressure relief valve.

Draining and Flushing

It is recommended that the tank be drained and ﬂ ushed

every 6 months to remove sediment which may build up

during operation. The water heater should be drained

if being shut down during freezing temperatures.

To drain the tank, perform the following steps:

1. Place the water heater in Standby Mode by pressing the

power button on the user interface module.

2. Turn off the power to the water heater at the circuit breaker/

fuse box.

3. Open a nearby hot water faucet until the water is no longer

hot.

4. Close the cold water inlet valve.

5. Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate it to an

adequate drain or external to the building.

6. Open the water heater drain valve and allow all of the

water to drain from the tank. Flush the tank with water as

needed to remove sediment.

7. Close the drain valve, reﬁ ll the tank (open the cold water

inlet valve), and restart the heater as directed in this manual.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn on power to the water heater

unless it is completely ﬁ lled with water. To ensure that the

tank is full, open a hot water faucet and allow the water to

run until the air is purged and the water ﬂ ows uninterrupted

from the faucet.

8. Press the power button to turn the water heater on.

NOTE: The water heater will conduct a system diagnostic

prior to operation.

If the water heater is going to be shut down for an extended

period, the drain valve should be left open.

Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water.

To prevent damage to the tank and heating element, the tank

must be ﬁ lled with water. Water must ﬂ ow from the hot water

faucet before turning “ON” power.

Element Removal/Replacement

Replacement heating elements must be of the same style and

voltage/wattage rating as the ones originally in the water heater.

This information can be found on the ﬂ ange or terminal block of the

element or on the water heater data plate.

IMPORTANT: Before replacing any element conﬁ rm that you

have the correct replacement element (wattage). This water

heater has a 4500 watt upper element and a 2000 watt lower

element. DO NOT replace the element(s) with a wattage

different than the ones speciﬁ ed for the upper and/or lower

element.

IMPORTANT: Using an element greater than 2000 watts in

place of the lower element will damage the water heater.
