HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to
_reduce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will
satisfyclothes washing,dish washing,and other sanitizing needs
can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some peo-
fie are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than
others. These include the elderly, children,the infirm, or physical.
lylmentally handicapped.If anyone usinghot 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
_u must take special precautions.In addition to usingthe lowest
)ossibletemperature setting that satisfiesyour hot water needs,
a means such as a mixing valve, shouldbe usedat the hot water
taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves
are available at plumbing supplyor hardware stores.Follow man-
ufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before
changing the factory setting on the thermostat,
read the
"Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.

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
shall be provided
to control

Contact
the
local utility or local Sears Service Center
on how to control this
situation.
NOTE: To _protect against untimely corrosion of hot and
cold water tlttings, it is strongly recommended that di-elec-
tric unions or couplings
be installed on this water heater
when connected to copper pipe.
The illustration
shows the attachment
of the water piping to the
water heater. The water heater is equipped
with 5a inch water
con
Ilections,
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching
the adapter to the cold water inlet connec-
tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line direcdy to the
cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the
tank.
•
Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is
marked hot. Put two or three turns o| teflon tape around
the
threaded
end of the threaded-to-sweat
coupling
and around
both ends of the _" threaded
nipple.
Using flexible connec-
tors, connect
the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet
on
the water heater.
Look at the top cover 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 threaded-to-sweat
coupling
and around both ends of the ¼" threaded
nipple. Using flexi-
ble connectors,
connect the cold water pipe to the coldwater
inlet of the water heater.
NOTE: This water heater is super 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.
