Preparing for the New Installation
1. Read the "General Safety" section, pages 2 and 3 of
this manual first and then the entire manual carefully.
If you don't follow the safety rules, the water heater
will not operate properly. It could cause DEATH, SERI­
OUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
This manual contains instructions for the installation,
operation, and maintenance of the gas-fired water
heater. It also contains warnings through out the man­
ual that you must read and be aware of. All warnings
and all instructions are essential to the proper opera­
tion of the water heater and your safety. Since we can­
not put everything on the first few pages, READ THE
ENTIRE
MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL OR OPERATE THE WATER HEATER.
2. The installation must conform with the instructions in
this manual; gas company rules; and Local Codes, or
in the absence of Local Codes, with the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1, also
referred to as NFPA 54. This publication is available
from your local government or public library or gas
company or by writing NFPA, Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
3. if after reading this manual you have any questions or
do not understand any portion of the instructions, call
the Sears Service Center.
4. Carefully plan the place where you are going to put the
water heater. Correct combustion, vent action, and
vent pipe installation are very important in preventing
death from possible carbon monoxide poisoning and
fires.
Examine the location to ensure the water heater com­
plies with the "Locating the New Water Heater" sec­
tion in this manual.
