*A WARNING
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intend-
ed to produce hot water. Water
heated to a temperature
vhich will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish wash-
ing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently
injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be
_ermanently
injured by hot water
than others. These
include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/men.
tally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home
fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or
state law requiring
a certain temperature
water at the hot
water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addi-
tion to using the lowest possible temperature
setting that
satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing
valve, shall be used at the hot water taps used by these peo-
ple or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at
plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers
instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing

If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system;
such as one having a back-flow preventer, check valve, water
meter with a check valve, etc.., in the cold water supply; means
must be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the
local utility or SearsService Center on how to control this situation.
The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the water
heater. The water heater is equipped with _" water connections.
• Look at the top of the water heater. The hot water outlet is
marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the
threaded end of the compression coupling and around the _"
threads of the 5_"x ½"reducer bushing. Put two or three turns of
teflon
..... tape around both ends, of a Vd' threaded_
,,
nip le (not. sup-
plied in the mstallauon kit). Attach the Z threa_ed topple to
the _" x }_"reducer bushing and screw into the hot water outlet
of the water heater. Using flexible connectors, connect the hot
water pipe to the hot water outlet of the water heater.
NOTE:
If using copper
tubing,
solder
tubing
to an
adapter before attaching the adapter to the water connec-
tions. Do not solder the water supply lines directly to the
connections
of the water heater. It will harm the fittings
on the water heater.
Look at the top of the water heater. The cold water inlet is
marked cold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the
threaded end of the compression coupling and around the _"

of the water heater. Using flexible connectors, connect the hot
water pipe to the hot water outlet of tile water heater.
NOTE: Your water heater is insulated to minimize heat
loss from the tank. Further reduction in heat loss can be
accomplished
by insulating
the hot water lines from the
water heater.
