- Do not use this water heater with
any voltage other than shown on the
model rating plate.
- Failure to use the correct voltage
shown on the model rating plate
could result in death, serious bodily
injury, or property damage.
Before making the conversion to 5500 watts, check the (1)
power supply . . . must be 240 volts, (2) wiring . . . 10 gauge
AWG @ Type TW, 60°C or equivalent, and (3) Circuit breakers
or fusing . . .capable of 30 amp loading. Also, the installation
must conform with this manual, local codes and electric utility

pen, check the appropriate block within the model rating plate,
which is located adjacent to the lower access panel.
Water Piping
Water temperature over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly resulting in severe injury
or death.
Children, the elderly, and the
physically or mentally disabled
are at highest riskfor scald injury.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available.
Read instruction manual for safe
temperature setting.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to
produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will
satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing
needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact.
Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot
water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm,
or physically/mentally 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
addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that
satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing
valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these
people 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 the
factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature
Regulation" section in this manual.
See Figure 7 (below) for mixing valve usage.

Figure 8 shows the attachment of the water piping to the water
heater. The water heater is equipped with 3/4" water
connections.
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 Sears Service Center on how to control this
situation.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adapter to the water inlet connection.
Do not solder the water supply lines directly to the cold water
inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.
Property Damage Hazard
• Avoid water heater damage.
• Install thermal expansion tank if necessary.
• Do not apply heat to cold water inlet.
• Contact qualified installer or service agency.
