Installation Instructions (cont'd) Facts to Consider About the Location You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, because the placement is a very important consideration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not intend ed for outdoor installation. Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater in a new location, the following critical points must be observed. • The location selected should be indoors as close to and as centralized with the water piping system as possible. This water heater, as well as all water heaters, will eventually leak. Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where water flow will cause damage, _,CAUTION WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a man ner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of water will not cause damage to the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are available at your local Sears stores. Such a drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. Under no cir cumstances is tbe manufacturer or Sears to be held liable for any water damage in connection with this water beater. _, CAUTION INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES: The water heater must be located and/or protected so it is not subject to physicaldamage by a moving vehicle. • The location selection must provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater. Facts to Consider About the Convertible Lower Element The Upper Element (if a double element model), is a conventional 3800 watt element which only operates at its rated wattage on 240 volts. (See rating plate on water heater). The Lower Element (if a double dement model) of the water heater can be converted from operation at 3800 watts to 5500 watts on a 240 volt system. Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions.If after reading these instructions in this manual, if you do not understand any portion, call Sears Service Center. AWARNING Before making tbe conversion to 5500 watts, check the (I) power supply...must be 240 volts, (2) wiring...10 gauge AWG, Type TW_ 60C or equivalent, and (3) Circuit breakers or fusng capable of 30 amp loading. Also, the installation must conform with this manual local codes i and electr c ut ty rules. Failure to comply can result in i DAMAGE.DEATH,BODILY OR PROPERTY SERIOUS INJURY, ELECTRIC1 NOTE: Whether or not the element conversion is made the model rating plate must be marked. Using a hardpoint ink pen, check the appropriate block within the model rating plate, which is located adjacentto the lower accesspanel. Installation Instructions (cont'd) Water Piping AWARNING HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tamperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact.
