Instructions for Installation (cont'd)

Water Piping

AWARNING

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

not water than others. These include the elderly,

children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handi

capped. 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 pre

cautions. In addition to usin^ the lowest possible

temperature setting that satisfies your hot water

needs, a means sucn 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 manu

facturers instructions for installation of the valves.

Before changing the factory setting on the thermo

stat, read the "Temperature Regulation” section in

this manual.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to

the water heater. The water heater is equipped with V4 inch

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 shall be prowded to control thermal expansion.

Contact the local utility or call Maytag Customer Service at

1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer on how to con

trol this situation.

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter

before attaching the adaptor to the cold water inlet connec

tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the

cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the

tank.

1. Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet

is marked hot. Connect the hot water pipe to the hot water

outlet of the water heater.

2. Look at the top cover of the water heater. The cold water

inlet is marked cold. Connect the cold water pipe to the

cold water inlet of the water heater.

NOTE: Your water heater is super insulated to minimize

heat loss from the tank. Further reduction in heat loss can

be accomplished by insulating the hot water lines from the

water heater.
