VENTING MANUAL RESET SWITCH

hood. If the switch is activated, it will not reset itself. Before
resetting this switch, check for flue blockage and propriety of the
venting system. To reset the venting manual reset switch, press
the red reset button.
Troubleshooting (cont’d)
NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
• Check the manual gas shut off valve to be sure it is open.
• The ON/OFF switch on the control box must be “ON”.
• The temperature adjustment button may be set too low. See the
“Temperature Regulation” section.
• The gas company can check the gas input to see if it is correct.
An underfired water heater will not heat water as quickly.
• Look for leaking or open hot water faucets. Make sure all are
closed.
• The cold water inlet temperature may he colder during the
winter months. It will take longer to heat the water and seem
like less hot water.
• If you cannot find what is wrong, call the Sears Service Center.
WATER IS TOO HOT
1. The temperature adjustment button may be set too high. See
the “Temperature Adjustment” section.
NOTE: A period of tíme is necessary after an adjustment has
been made for the water temperature to reach the new tem­
perature setting.
2. If lower temperature settings will not lower the water tempera­
ture, call the Sears Service Center.
HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT SWITCH
(Single-Use Type Energy Cut Off)
The thermostat has a built-in limit switch which will actuate in
case of excessive water temperatures. The heater cannot be relit
until the gas control valve is replaced. It is important that a ser­
viceman be called to determine the reason for limit operation
and thus avoid repeated thermostat replacement. Lower the tem­
perature adjustment setting on new control. Contact the Sears
Service Center.
A WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off,
turn “OFF” the manual gas control v^ve to the appliance.
