SMELLY WATER (cont'd)
If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement
and chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that con-
tinuous chlorination and filtering conditioning equipment
be considered to eliminate the water problem.
Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected.
By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is
voided.
"AIR" IN HOT WATER FAUCETS
WARNING
HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a
hot water system that has not been used for a long peri-
od of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas
is extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent t_e
possibillty of injury under these conditions, we recom-
mend the hot water faucet be opened for several min-
utes at the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances
which are connected to the hot water system are used
(such as a dishwasher or washing machine). If h)tdrogen
gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound
similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water
faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open
flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
1. Check the manual gas shut off valve to be sure
open.
2. Check the pilot flame. It may have gone out. All n
els have an opening behind the outer door for vie\
the pilot.
.
If the pilot is not lit, follow the "Lighting" instruct
in this manual or located above the gas control v
on the water heater to relight the pilot. If the
was extremely hot and is now cold, the high limit !
ty temperature shut off may have put out the bu
and pilot. The gas control know valve mus
changed.
4. The gas control knob must be turned to the "ON"
tion.
5. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too
Seethe "Temperature Regulation" section.
6. The gascompany can check the gas input to see if
correct. An underfired water heater will not heat
as quickly.
7. Look for leaking or open hot water faucets. Make
all are closed.
8. The cold water inlet temperature may be colder d_
the winter months, it will take longer to heat the
and seem like less hot water.
9. If you cannot find what is wrong, call the Sears Ser
Center.
HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM
This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas shut
off system. This system works when high water tempera-
tures are present. It turns "OFF" the entire gas supply to
the water heater. The high temperature shut off is built
into the gas control valve. It is non-resettable. If the high
temperature shut off activates, the gas control valve must
be replaced. Contact the Sears Service Center.
WATER IS TOO HOT
I. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too t"
See the "Temperature Adjustment" section.
NOTE: A period of time is necessary after an adj
ment has been made for the water temperatur,
reach the new temperature setting.
2. If lower temperature settings will not lower the w
temperature, call the Sears Service Center.
.WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut
off, turn "OFF" the manual gas control valve to the
appliance,
