About Your Warranty
Some warranties say that you must drain the tank once a
month. Your tank will last longer if you do this. Your Sears
warranty is good whether you drain the tank often or not.
We include a drain valve because:
1. Many plumbing codes require a drain valve.
2. Your water heater will continue to heat efficiently, if a
small amount of water is drained each month. THE
PRICE OF YOUR WATER HEATER DOES NOT
INCLUDE A FREE CHECKUP SERVICE CALL. ON
WATER HEATER INSTALLATIONS ARRANGED BY
SEARS, Sears warrants the installation.
ON NSTALLATIONS NOT MADE BY SEARS AUTHO-
RIZED CONTRACTORS:
1. Your Sears warranty applies to the product only.
2. Sears does not warrant the installation.
3. A charge will be made on service calls due to poor or
incomplete installation. These include:
a. Adjusting thermostat.
b. Leaks in pipes or fittings.
This manual is in non-technical language. It may help you
avoid the cost of a needless service call. Many service
calls really aren't needed. Such as when:
1. Electric power is turned "OFF".
2. A water leak is due to loose pipe or connections.
FULL ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON WATER HEATER
For one year from the date of purchase, when your Sears Kenmore water heater is installed and operated in
accordance with the instructions in this manual, Sears will:
1. Repair defects in material or workmanship in this water heater, free of charge.
2. Furnish and install a new current model water heater of equal capacity and quality, free of charge, if a leak
occurs in the tank.
LIMITED WARRANTY ON TANKS THAT LEAK
After one year and through 5 years from the date of purchase, if a leak occurs in the tank, Sears will furnish a
new current model water heater of equal capacity and quality. You will be charged for installation.
If the water heater is subjected to commercial, institutional, industrial or other non-residential use, the above
warranty coverage for tanks that leak is effective for 2 years from the date of purchase.
