INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Removing the Old Water Heater
FIGURE 1.
4. Attach a hose to the water heater drain valve and put the other end in a floor drain or outdoors. Open the water heater drain valve. Open a nearby hot water faucet which will relieve pressure in the water heater and speed draining. The water passing out of the drain valve may be extremely hot. To avoid being scalded, make sure all connections are tight and that the water flow is directed away from any person, see Figures 1 and 4.
5. Disconnect the vent pipe from the draft hood where they connect to the water heater. In most installations the vent pipe can be lifted off after any screw or other attached devices are removed. Dispose of the draft hood. The new water heater has the draft hood which must be used for proper operation.
6. If you have copper piping to the water heater, the two copper water pipes can be cut with a hacksaw approximately four inches away from where they connect to the water heater. This will avoid cutting off pipes too short. Additional cuts can be made later if necessary. Disconnect the temperature­pressure relief valve drain line. When the water heater is drained, disconnect the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve. The water heater is now completely disconnected and ready to be removed, see Figure 5.
FIGURE 4.
1. Turn “OFF” the gas supply to the water heater.
If the main gas line shut-off valve serving all gas appliances is used, also shut “OFF” the gas at each appliance. Leave all gas appliances shut “OFF” until the water heater installation is completed, see Figures 1 and 2.
2. Turn “OFF” the water supply to the water heater at the water shut-off valve or water meter. Some installations require that the water be turned off to the entire house, see Figures 1 and 3.
3. Check again to make sure the gas supply is “OFF” to the water heater. Then disconnect the gas supply connection from the gas control valve.
FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 3.
FIGURE 5.
If you have galvanized pipe to the water heater, loosen the two galvanized pipes with a pipe wrench at the union in each line. Also disconnect the piping remaining to the water heater . These pieces should be saved since they may be needed when reconnecting the new water heater. Disconnect the temperate-pressure relief valve drain line. When the water heater is drained, disconnect the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve. The water heater is now completely disconnected and ready to be removed. Mineral buildup or sediment may have accumulated in the old water heater. This causes the water heater to be much heavier than normal and this residue, if spilled out, could cause staining, see Figure 6.

This appliance has been design certified as complying with American National Standard/CSA Standard for water heaters and is considered suitable for:
Water (Potable) Heating: All models are considered suitable for water (potable) heating.
HOTTER WA TER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated
to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, 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, shall 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. See Figure 8. Valves for reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and hot water are also available. Consult Maytag Customer Service (1-800-788-8899). Follow mixing valve manufacturer’s instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section in this manual, see Figures 22 and 23 on page 20.

LOCATING THE NEW WATER HEATER
Facts to Consider About the Location
Carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, because the placement is a very important consideration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not for
use in manufactured (mobile) homes or outdoor installation.
Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater in a new location, the following critical points must be observed:
• Select a location indoors as close as practical to the gas vent or chimney to which the water heater vent is going to be connected, and as centralized with the water piping system as possible.
• Selected location must provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater.
Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are available at your local hardware store. Such a drain pan must have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches (51 mm) greater that the water heater dimensions and must be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
• Devices that will turn off the gas supply to a gas water heater while at the same time shutting off its water supply.
INST ALLATIONS IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (VAPORS) ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT OR STORED (GARAGES, STORAGE AND UTILITY AREAS, ETC.): Flammable liquids (such as gasoline, solvents, propane [LP or butane, etc.] and other substances (such as adhesives, etc.) emit flammable vapors which can be ignited by a gas water heater’s pilot light or main burner. The resulting flashback and fire can cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area. Even though this water heater is a flammable vapors ignition resistant water heater and is designed to reduce the chances of flammable vapors being ignited, gasoline and other flammable substances should never be stored or used in the same vicinity or area containing a gas water heater or other open flame or spark producing appliance.
Also, the water heater must be located and/or protected so it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.
Water heater life depends upon water quality, water pressure and the environment in which the water heater is installed. Water heaters are sometimes installed in locations where leakage may result in property damage, even with the use of a drain pan piped to a drain. However, unanticipated damage can be reduced or prevented by a leak detector or water shut-off device used in conjunction with a piped drain pan. These devices are available from some plumbing supply wholesalers and retailers, and detect and react to leakage in various ways:
• Sensors mounted in the drain pan that trigger an alarm or turn off the incoming water to the water heater when leakage is detected.
• Sensors mounted in the drain pan that turn off the water supply to the entire home when water is detected in the drain pan.
• Water supply shut-off devices that activate based on the water pressure differential between the cold water and hot water pipes connected to the water heater.
This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be protected by metal or wood panel beneath the appliance extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2 mm) in any direction, or if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must be covered by the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in a fire hazard.
10
Minimum clearances between the water heater and combustible construction are 0 inch at the sides and rear, 4 inches (102 mm) at the front, and 6 inches (153 mm) from the vent pipe. Clearance from the top of the jacket is 12 inches (305 mm) on most models. Note that a lesser dimension may be allowed on some models, refer to the label attached adjacent to the gas control valve on the water heater, see Figure 9.
If this water heater will be used in beauty shops, barber shops, cleaning establishments, or self-service laundries with dry cleaning equipment, it is imperative that the water heater or water heaters be installed so that combustion and ventilation air be taken from outside these areas.
Propellants of aerosol sprays and volatile compounds, (cleaners, chlorine based chemicals, refrigerants, etc.) in addition to being highly flammable in many cases, will also change to corrosive hydrochloric acid when exposed to the combustion products of the water heater. The results can be hazardous, and also cause product failure.
Insulation Blankets
Insulation blankets available to the general public for external use on gas water heaters are not necessary with Maytag products. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank heaters. Your Maytag water heater meets or exceeds the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements, making an insulation blanket unnecessary.
FIGURE 9.
• Install water heater in accordance with the instruction manual and NFPA 54.
• To avoid injury, combustion and ventilation air must be taken from outdoors.
• Do not place chemical vapor emitting products near water heater.
A gas water heater cannot operate properly without the correct amount of air for combustion. Do not install in a confined area such as a closet, unless you provide air as shown in the Locating The New Water Heater section. Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air . If you have any doubts or questions at all, call your gas supplier. Failure to provide the proper amount of combustion air can result in a fire or explosion and cause death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.
• Do not obstruct water heater air intake with insulating blanket.
• Gas and carbon monoxide detectors are available.
• Install water heater in accordance with the instruction manual.
WARNING
Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you should follow these instructions (See Figure 7 for identification of components mentioned below). Failure to follow these instructions can restrict the air flow required for proper combustion, potentially resulting in fire, asphyxiation, serious personal injury or death.
Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as this will interfere with safe operation of the draft hood.
Do not cover the outer door, thermostat or temperature & pressure relief valve.
Do not allow insulation to come within 2” (50.8 mm) of the floor to prevent blockage of combustion air flow to the burner.
FIGURE 10.
Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side of the water heater or nearby for future reference.
Do obtain new warning and instruction labels from Maytag for placement on the blanket directly over the existing labels.
Do inspect the insulation blanket frequently to make certain it does not sag, thereby obstructing combustion air flow.

Louvers and grilles shall be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they are opened automatically during equipment operation.
• Special Conditions Created by Mechanical Exhausting or Fireplaces: operation of exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryers or fireplaces may create conditions requiring special attention to avoid unsatisfactory operation of installed gas utilization equipment.
Water Piping
FIGURE 15.
This water heater shall not be connected to any heating systems or component(s) used with a non-potable water heating appliance.
Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment shall not be introduced into this system.
Water supply systems may, because of such events as high line pressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, back flow preventers, etc. to control these types of problems. When these devices are not equipped with an internal by-pass, and no other measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be closed. As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water.
HOTTER WA TER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water . Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish washing, cleaning 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
The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and increases the pressure of the water system. If the relieving point of the water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, the valve will relieve the excess pressure. The
temperature-pressure relief valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion. This is an unacceptable
condition and must be corrected. It is recommended that any devices installed which could create a closed system have a by-pass and/or the system have an expansion tank to relieve the pressure built by thermal expansion in the water system. Refer to the Thermal Expansion section under Troubleshooting
Guide or contact local plumbing authority or call Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized installer on how to control this situation.

NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold water fittings, it is strongly recommended that di-electric unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when connected to copper pipe.
Figure 16 shows the typical attachment of the water piping to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3/4” NPT water connections for 30, 40 and 50 gallon models.
NOTE: This 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.
T & P V alve and Pipe Insulation
Remove insulation for T & P valve and pipe connections from carton.
FIGURE 16A.
Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top cover of the heater.
FIGURE 16.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet connection. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.
• Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is marked “HOT”. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around both ends of the 3/4” NPT threaded nipple. Using standard pipe fittings, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet on the water heater.
• Look at the top of the water heater. The cold water inlet is marked “COLD”. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around both ends of the 3/4” NPT threaded nipple. Using standard pipe fittings, connect the cold water pipe to the cold water inlet of the water heater.
Fit T & P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation does not interfere with the lever of the T & P valve.
Secure all insulation using tape.
T emperature-Pressure Relief Valve
This heater is provided with a properly certified combination temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer.
The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot W ater Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 and the code requirements of ASME.
If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified as indicated in the above paragraph.
14
The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not less than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate.
For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not be removed from its designated opening nor plugged.
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designed for the relief valve. Position the valve downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 inches (153 mm) above, or at any distance below the structural floor. Be certain that no cont act is made with any live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet (9.14 m), or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve, see Figure 17.
No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to discharge drain unless a 6 inch air gap is provided. To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life, or property damage, the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water in quantities should circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may cause property damage.
The Discharge Pipe:
• Shall not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or have any reducing couplings or other restrictions.
• Shall not be plugged or blocked.
• Shall be of material listed for hot water distribution.
• Shall be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the temperature-pressure relief valve, and the discharge pipe.
• Shall terminate at an adequate drain.
• Shall not have any valve between the relief valve and tank.
FIGURE 17.
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage because the water may be extremely hot.
If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.
Filling the Water Heater
Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water. W ater must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON” gas to the water heater.
To fill the water heater with water:
• Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to
the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of the water heater.

• Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.
NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open when the water heater is in use.
proper venting for your water heater from the vent tables in the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFP A 54.
• To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run until a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out of the water heater and the piping.
• Check all water piping and connections for leaks. Repair as needed.
Venting
VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is operated thermally or otherwise must be removed if its use inhibits proper drafting of the water heater.
Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters having thermal efficiency in excess of 80% may produce a relatively low flue gas temperature. Such temperatures may not be high enough to properly open thermally operated vent dampers. This would cause spillage of the flue gases and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Vent dampers must bear evidence of certification as complying with the current edition of the American National Standard ANSI Z21.68 (ANSI Z21.66 & 67, respectively, cover electrically and mechanically actuated vent dampers). Before installation of any vent damper, consult your Mayt ag Customer Service Center
at 1-800-788-8899 or the local gas supplier for further
information.
Periodically check the venting system for signs of obstruction or deterioration and replace if needed.
The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed. The water heater with draft hood installed must be connected
to a chimney or listed vent pipe system, which terminates to the outdoors. Never operate the water heater unless it is vented to the outdoors and has adequate air supply to avoid risks of improper operation, explosion or asphyxiation.
• For proper draft hood attachment, the draft hood legs may be angled slightly inward.
• Place the draft hood legs in the receiving holes on the top of the water heater. The legs will snap in the holes to give a tight fit. Secure two legs to top with sheet metal screws.
• Place the vent pipe over the draft hood. With the vent pipe in position, drill a small hole through both the vent pipe and draft hood. Secure them together with a sheet metal screw, see Figure 18.
Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present serious health risk or asphyxiation.
For replacement heater installations where using pre-existing venting, venting must be inspected for obstructions and if deterioration is present venting must be replaced.
To insure proper venting of this gas-fired water heater, the correct vent pipe diameter must be utilized. Any additions or deletions of other gas appliances on a common vent with this water heater may adversely affect the operation of the water heater. Consult your Maytag Service Center
8899
or gas supplier if any such changes are planned.
For proper venting in certain installations, a larger diameter vent pipe may be necessary. Consult your Maytag Customer Service Center or gas supplier to aid you in determining the
at 1-800-788-
FIGURE 18.
The vent pipe from the water heater must be no less than the diameter of the draft hood outlet on the water heater and must slope upward at least 1/4 inch per linear foot (21 mm per meter), see Figure 19.
FIGURE 19.
All vent gases must be completely vented to the outdoors of the structure (dwelling). Install only the draft hood provided with the new water heater and no other draft hood.
Vent pipes must be secured at each joint with sheet metal screws.
16
There must be a minimum of 6 inches (153 mm) clearance between single wall vent pipe and any combustible material. Fill and seal any clearance between single wall vent pipe and combustible material with mortar mix, cement, or other noncombustible substance. For other than single wall, follow vent pipe manufacturer’s clearance specifications. To insure a tight fit of the vent pipe in a brick chimney, seal around the vent pipe with mortar mix cement.
plate is for the purpose of input adjustment. valve is subjected to pressures exceeding 1/2 pound per square inch (3.5kPa), the damage to the gas control valve could result in a fire or explosion from leaking gas.
If the main gas line Shut-off serving all gas appliances is used, also turn “OFF” the gas at each appliance. Leave all gas appliances shut “OFF” until the water heater installation is complete.
A gas line of sufficient size must be run to the water heater. Consult the current edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and your gas supplier concerning pipe size.
There must be:
• A readily accessible manual shut off valve in the gas supply line serving the water heater, and
• A drip leg (sediment trap) ahead of the gas control valve to help prevent dirt and foreign materials from entering the gas control valve.
• A flexible gas connector or a ground joint union between the shut off valve and control valve to permit servicing of the unit.
Be sure to check all the gas piping for leaks before lighting the water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not a match or open flame. Rinse off soapy solution and wipe dry.
If the gas control
Failure to have required clearances between vent piping and combustible material will result in a fire hazard.
Be sure vent pipe is properly connected to prevent escape of dangerous flue gases which could cause deadly asphyxiation.
Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach and process chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive.
Gas Piping
The minimum inlet gas pressure shown on the rating plate is that which will permit firing at the rated input.
Water heaters covered in this manual have been tested and approved for installation at elevations up to 7,700 feet (2,347 m) above sea level. For installation above 7,700 feet
(2,347 m), the water heater’s Btu input should be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level which requires replacement of the burner orifice in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54. Contact Maytag Customer Service Center at
1-800-788-8899 or your local gas supplier or call for further information.
Make sure the gas supplied is the same type listed on the model rating plate. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed
14 inch water column (2.6kPa) for natural and propane gas (L.P.) gas. The minimum inlet gas pressure listed on the rating
Failure to replace the standard orifice with the proper high altitude orifice when installed at elevations above 7,700 feet (2,347 m) could result in improper and inefficient operation of the appliance, producing carbon monoxide gas in excess of the safe limits. This could result in serious injury or death.
Contact Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 or your local gas supplier for any specific changes which may be required in your area.
17
Use pipe joint compound or teflon tape marked as being resistant to the action of petroleum (Propane [L.P.]) gases.
The appliance and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation.
The appliance and its individual Shut-off valve shall be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 pound per square inch (3.5 kPa). It shall be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual Shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 pound per square inch (3.5 kPa).
Contaminants in the gas lines may cause improper operation of the gas control valve that may result in fire or explosion. Before attaching the gas line be sure that all gas pipe is clean on the inside. To trap any dirt or foreign material in the gas supply line, a drip leg (sometimes called a sediment trap) must be incorporated in the piping. The drip leg must be readily accessible. Install in accordance with the Gas Piping section. Refer to the latest edition of th
ANSI Z223.1/NFP A 54.
A sediment trap shall be installed as close to the inlet of the water heater as practical at the time of water heater installation. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nipple in the bottom outlet or other device recognized as an effective sediment trap. If a tee fitting is used, it shall be installed in conformance with one of the methods of installation, shown in Figures 20 and 21.
e National Fuel Gas Code,
Connecting the gas piping to the gas control valve of the water heater can be accomplished by either of the two methods, shown in Figures 20 and 21.
Sediment Traps
• Contaminants in gas lines can cause fire or explosion.
• Clean all gas piping before installation.
• Install drip leg in accordance with NFP A 54.

Temperature Regulation
Valves for reducing the point-of-use temperature by mixing cold and hot water are available. See Figure 8. Also available are inexpensive devices that attach to faucets to limit hot water temperatures. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority.
NOTE: A water temperature range of 120°F-140°F (49°C-60°C) is recommended by most dishwasher manufacturers.
The thermostat of this water heater has been factory set at its lowest position (PILOT LIGHTING). It is adjustable and must be reset to the desired temperature setting to reduce the risk of scald injury. The mark (
) indicative of approximately 120°F (49°C) is preferred starting point. Some states have a requirement for a lower setting.
HOT WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. W ater heated to a temperature that will satisfy space heating, 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 specific hot water temperature at the tap, then you must take special precautions. Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a child or handicapped person unattended in a bathtub or shower.
It is recommended that lower water temperatures be used to avoid the risk of scalding. It is further recommended, in all cases, that the water temperature be set for the lowest temperature that satisfies your hot water needs. This will also provide the most energy efficient operation of the water heater.
Figure 23 shows the approximate water temperatures produced at various thermostat settings. Short repeated heating cycles caused by small hot water uses can cause temperatures at the point of use to exceed the thermostat setting by up to 30°F (17°C). If you experience this type of use you should consider using lower temperature settings to reduce scald hazards.
Turn the water temperature dial clockwise ( the temperature, or counterclockwise (
) to decrease
) to increase the
temperature. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn
off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.

At least once a year a visual inspection should be made of the venting system. You should look for:
• Obstructions which could cause improper venting. The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed.
• Damage or deterioration which could cause improper venting or leakage of combustion products.
• Rusted flakes around top of water heater.
Be sure the vent piping is properly connected to prevent escape of dangerous flue gasses which could cause deadly asphyxiation.
Obstructions and deteriorated vent systems may present serious health risk or asphyxiation.
Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach and process chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive.
If after inspection of the vent system you found sooting or deterioration, something is wrong. Call Maytag Customer

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year.
When checking the temperature-pressure relief valve operation, make sure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) that the water discharge will not cause any property damage, as the water may be extremely hot, see Figure 25.
INSTALLED IN SUIT ABLE AREA: To insure sufficient ventilation and combustion air supply, proper clearances from the water heater must be maintained. See Facts to Consider About the Location section. Combustible materials such as clothing, cleaning materials, or flammable liquids, etc. must not be placed against or adjacent to the water heater which can cause a fire.
Anode Rod Inspection
The anode rod is used to protect the tank from corrosion. Most hot water tanks are equipped with an anode rod. The submerged rod sacrifices itself to protect the tank. Instead of corroding the tank, water ions attack and eat away the anode rod. This does not affect the water’s taste or color. The rod must be maintained to keep the tank in operating condition.
Anode deterioration depends on water conductivity, not necessarily water condition. A corroded or pitted anode rod indicates high water conductivity and should be checked and/ or replaced more often than an anode rod that appears to be intact. Replacement of a depleted anode rod can extend the life of your water heater. Inspection should be conducted by a
FIGURE 25.
If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.
If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps or discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion. You may have a check valve installed in the water line or a water meter with a check valve. Consult Maytag
Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for further information. Do not plug the temperature-pressure relief valve.
Draining
The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures. Also periodic draining and cleaning of sediment from the tank may be necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Start Up Conditions
Draft Hood Operation
Check draft hood operation by performing a worst case depressurization of the building. With all doors and windows closed, and with all air handling equipment and exhaust fans operating, such as furnaces, clothes dryers, range hoods and bathroom fans, a match flame should still be drawn into the draft hood of the water heater with its burner firing. If the flame is not drawn toward the draft hood, shut off the water heater and make necessary air supply changes to correct.
Condensation
Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, some condensate will form while the burner is on. A water heater may appear to be leaking when in fact the water is condensation. This usually happens when:
• A new water heater is filled with cold water for the first time.
• Burning gas produces water vapor In water heaters,

• Large amounts of hot water are used in a short time and the refill water in the tank is very cold.
Moisture from the products of combustion condense on the cooler tank surfaces and form drops of water which may fall onto the burner or other hot surfaces to produce a “sizzling” or “frying” noise.
Excessive condensation can cause pilot outage due to water running down the flue tube onto the main burner and putting out the pilot.
Because of the suddenness and amount of water, condensation water may be diagnosed as a “tank leak”. After the water in the tank warms up (about 1-2 hours), the condition should disappear.
Do not assume the water heater is leaking until there has been enough time for the water in the tank to warm up.
An undersized water heater will cause more condensation. The water heater must be sized properly to meet the family’s demands for hot water including dishwashers, washing machines and shower heads.
23
Excessive condensation may be noticed during the winter and early spring months when incoming water temperatures are at their lowest.
Good venting is essential for a gas fired water heater to operate properly as well as to carry away products of combustion and water vapor.
Smoke / Odor
It is not uncommon to experience a small amount of smoke and odor during the initial start-up. This is due to burning off of oil from metal parts, and will disappear in a short while.
Operational Conditions
Smelly Odor
In each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod
(see parts section) for corrosion protection of the tank. Certain water conditions will cause a reaction between this rod and the water. The most common complaint associated with the anode rod is one of a “rotten egg smell”. This odor is derived from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is the result of four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop:
• a concentration of sulfate in the supply water.
Thermal Expansion
Water supply system may, because of such events as high line pressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, back flow preventers, etc., to control these types of problems. When these devices are not equipped with an internal by-pass, and no other measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be closed. As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water.
The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and increases the pressure of the water system. If the relieving point of water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, the valve will relief the excess pressure. The
temperature-pressure relief valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion. This is an unacceptable
condition and must be corrected.
• little or no dissolved oxygen in the water.
• a sulfate reducing bacteria within the water heater. (This harmless bacteria is non-toxic to humans.)
• an excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by the corrosion protective action of the anode.
Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water heater models by replacing the anode(s) with one of less active material, and then chlorinating the water heater tank and all hot water lines. Contact Maytag Customer Service at
1-800-788-8899 for further information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit and this Chlorination Treatment.
If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement and chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that chlorination or aeration of the water supply 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
It is recommended that any devices installed which could create a closed system have a by-pass and/or the system have an expansion tank or device to relieve the pressure built by thermal expansion in the water system. Thermal expansion tanks are available for ordering through the Maytag Customer Service Center (1-800-788-8899). Contact the local plumbing inspector , water supplier and/or call Maytag Customer Service at
1-800-788-8899 for assistance in controlling these situations.
Strange Sounds
Possible noises due to expansion and contraction of some metal parts during periods of heat-up and cool-down do not represent harmful or dangerous conditions.
Condensation causes sizzling and popping within the burner area during heating and cooling periods and should be considered normal. See Condensation section.
HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet, located farthest away, be opened for several minutes before any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen 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.
24
High Temperature Shut Off System
This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas Shut-off system. This system works when high water temperatures are present. Turn “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. Call Maytag
Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer.
Leakage Checkpoints
H. Combustion products contain water vapor which can
condense on the cooler surfaces of the tank. Droplets form and drip onto the burner or run on the floor. This is common at the time of start-up after installation and when incoming water is cold.
I. Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from
condensation, loose connections, or the relief valve. DO NOT replace the water heater until a full inspection of all possible water sources is made and necessary corrective steps taken.
Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage should also be checked.
* To check where threaded portion enters tank, insert cotton
swab between jacket opening and fitting. If cotton is wet, follow “Draining” instructions in the Periodic Maintenance section and then remove fitting. Put pipe dope or teflon tape on the threads and replace. Then follow Filling the Water Heater instructions in the Installing the New Water Heater section.
Read this manual first. Then before checking the water heater make sure the gas supply has been turned “OFF”, and never turn the gas “ON” before the tank is completely full of water.
Never use this water heater unless it is completely filled with water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON” gas to the water heater, see Figure 28.
A. Water at the draft hood is water vapor which has condensed
out of the combustion products. This is caused by a problem in the vent. Call Maytag Customer Service at
1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer.
B. *Condensation may be seen on pipes in humid weather or
pipe connections may be leaking. C. *The anode rod fitting may be leaking. D. Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure relief
valve may be due to thermal expansion or high water
pressure in your area. E. *The temperature-pressure relief valve may be leaking at
the tank fitting. F. Water from a drain valve may be due to the valve being
slightly opened. G. *The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.
