DISCHARGE PIPE
Failure to install and maintain a new properly listed tempera-
ture-pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any
claim which might result from excessive temperature or pressure.
AWARNING
If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance
weepsor discharges periodically, t his 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. Consultthe SearsService Center for further informa-
tion. Do not plugthe temperature-pressure relief valve.
Draining
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.
Turn the _as control knob to the "OFF" position.
CLOSE me cold water inlet valve to the water heater.
OPEN a nearby hot water faucet and leave open to allow for
draining.
Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate to an ade-
quate drain.
• OPEN the water heater drain valve to allow for tank draining.
NOTE: If the water heater is going to be shut down and
drained for an extended period, the drain valve should be
left open with hose connected allowing water to terminate
to an adequate drain.
• Close the drain valve.
Follow instructions in the "Filling The Water Heater" section.
Follow the lighting instructions in the "Lighting" section to
restart the water heater.
AWARNING
When checl_ng the temperature-pressure relief valveopera-
t]on, make sure that (I) no one is in front of or aroundthe
outlet of the temperature-pressure reliefvaivedischarge line,
and (2) that the water manuallydischarged will not causeany
property damagebecause the water may be extremely hot.
If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely
reset and continuesto release water, immediately closethe
cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the draining
instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief
valve with a new one.
