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.

WARNING
_IYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a
ot water systemthat hasnot been usedfor along peri-

possibilityof injury under these_conditions, we recom-
mend the hot water faucet be opened for several min-
utesat the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances
which are connected to the hot water system are used
(suchas a dishwasheror washingmachine). If hydrogen

the winter months_ It will take longer to heat the water
and seem like lesshot water.
HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM
This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas shut
off system. The high temperature shut off is built into the
gas control valve. This system shuts off the gas supply to
the water heater burners when high water temperatures
are present. It is non-resettable, If the high temperature
shut off activates, the gas control valve must be replaced,
If this were to occur, turn "OFF" the entire gas supply to
the water heater Contact the SearsService Center.
