The water heater should be drained if being shut down during
freezing temperatures. Also, periodic draining and cleaning of
sediment from the tank may be necessary.

FIGURE 14.
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.
