STEPS TO INSTALL YOUR WATER HEATER (Continued) _.
TIME SWITCH OR OFF PEAK WIRING
• For TIME SWITCH or "OFF-PEAK" operation of the lower
element see either FIG.3E or 3F wiringschematic.
CAUTION: If you are going to wire the unit for either a
TIME SWITCH or "OFF-PEAK" operation, the black wire
from TerminalNo. 4 ofthe limit switch must be disconnected
and replaced totally or disconnected and joined with a new
section of wire using a proper connector. BE SURE TO
FOLLOW ALL LOCAL AND NATIONAL CODES AND
ELECTRIC UTILITY REQUIREMENTSWHEN MAKING THE
CONNECTIONS.
Dual element water heaters are designed to allow only one
element to heat at a time. This method is called
non-simultaneous operation and is necessary to avoid
overloading wiring in the house per the National Electric
Code. Off-Peak wiring methods must ensure proper use of
the high limit control in at least one line to each element
and use the non-simultaneous feature.

- WATER HEATER START-UP.
To comply with safety regulations, the Kenmore Survivor
water heater is factory set to heat water to 120 degrees F. At
this •temperature, water is hot enough for most household : '
needs. A setting of 120° F, or lower if local codes require, is
recommended as a starting point.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered
when selecting the water temperature setting of water heater's
thermostat. The lower the setting the greater the safety and
savings in energy and operating cost.
