Safety Instructions

AWARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service

or maintenance can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Refer to this manu al for assistance consuit your local utility or call Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer for further information.

AWARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is turned "OFF". Failure to do this could result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

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

eople are more likely to be permanently injured by ot 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 using 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.

AWARNING

INSULATING JACKETS: When installing an external water heater insulation jacket on an electric water heater:

•DO NOT cover the temperature-pressure relief

valve.

• DO NOT put insulation over the access covers or

any access areas.

• DO NOT cover or remove operating instructions, and safety related warning labels and materials affixed to the water heater.

AWARNING

Do not use this appliance if any part of it has been under water. An electrical short or malfunction could occur. The water heater should be replaced.

AWARNING

At the time of manufacture this water heater was pro vided with a combination temperature-pressures relief valve certified by a nationally recognizeci testing labora tory that maintains periodic inspection of production of

listed equipment or materials, as meeting the require

ments for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff

Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, and the latest

edition of ANSI Z21.22 and the code requirements of ASME. If replaced, the valve must meet the require

ments of local codes, but not less than a combination

temperature and pressure relief valve certified as meet

ing the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of list ed equipment or materials. The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure

not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater (150 Ibs./sq. in.) and a discharge capacity not less than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate. (Electric heaters watts divided by 1000 x 3415 equal BTU/Hr. rate.) Your local jurisdictional authority, while mandating the

use of a temperature-pressure relief valve complying with ANSI Z21.22 and ASME, may require a valve model different from the one furnished with the water heater. Compliance with such local requirements must be satis fied by the installer or end user of the water heater with a locally prescribed temperature-pressure relief valve installed in the designated opening in the water heater in place of the factory furnished valve.

For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve

must not be removed from it's designated opening or plugged. The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designated for the relief valve. Position the valve downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only with in 6 inches above, or at any distance below the struc tural floor. Be certain that no contact 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, or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve. 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" air gap is provid ed. 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 suit able means, the water flow may cause property damме. The Discharge Pipe;

• Must not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or have any reducing couplings or other restrictions.

• Must not be plugged or blocked.

• Must be of material listed for hot water distribution.

• Must be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the temperature-pressure relief valve, and the discharge pipe.

• Must terminate at an adequate drain.

• Must not have any valve between the relief valve and tank.

Installation Instructions

Removing the Old Water Heater

^^Turn “OFF" electrical supply to the water heater. a.

Turn “OFF” the water supply to the

water heater at the water shutofif valve or water meter.

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.

If you have copper piping to the water heater, the two copper water pipes can be cut with a hacksaw approxi

mately four inches away from where they connect to the water heater. This will avoid cutting off the pipes

too short. Additional cuts can be made later if neces sary. Disconnect the temperature-pressure relief valve drain line. When the water heater is drained, discon

nect the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain

valve. The water heater is now completely disconnect

ed and ready to be removed.

b. 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 remain ing to the water heater. These pieces should be saved since they may be needed when reconnecting the new water heater. Disconnect the temperature-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.

AWARNING

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.

Check again to make sure the electrical supply is turned “OFF” to the water heater. Then disconnect the electri cal supply connection from the water heater junction box.

A CAUTION

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.

Instructions for Installation (cont'd)

Locating The New Water Heater

You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, because the placement is a very important con

sideration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not intended for outdoor installation.

Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water

heater in a new location, the following critical points must be observed.

1. The location selected should be indoors as close to and as

centralized with the water piping system as possible. This water heater, as well as all water heaters, will eventually leak. Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where water flow will cause damage.

A CAUTION

WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of water 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 diam eter of at least IV« inches greater than the water heater diameter and must be piped to an adequate drain. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer or

Maytag to be held liable for any water damage in

connection with this water heater.

A CAUTION

INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES: The water

heater must be located and/or protected so it is not

subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

2. The location selection must provide adequate clearances for

servicing and proper operation of the water heater.

VACUUM RELIEF REQUIRED BY SOME CODES

Typical Installation

CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS. CONSULT THE LOCAL UTILITY COMPANY TO EXAM INE INSTALLATION FOR PROPRIETY AND SAFETY.

^ A WARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are

Instructions for Operation

Temperature Regulation Programming the Thermostat

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

eople are more likely to be permanently injured by ot 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

recautions. In addition to using the lowest possi le temperature setting that satisfies your hot

water needs, a means such 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 manufacturers instructions for installation of

the valves.

AWARNING

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 bath

tub or shower.

Before programming the settings on the thermostat, read

the "Temperature Regulation” section again.

This new programmable thermostat technology makes it pos

sible for you to enjoy all the benefits of hot water whenever you need it and save the cost of heating water when you don’t need it.

Simple and easy to use, the programmable control has three

basic modes of operation:

1. Manual mode - a set and forget operation.

2. Vacation mode - for those occasions when the residence

is unoccupied and there is no need for hot water.

3. Programmable mode - can be programmed for up to 24

hour a day, 7 days a week with 4 set periods a day.

Override is an optional setting that allows for temperature adjustments during a given time period. This setting reverts

back to the previous mode of operation upon completion of

the designated override time period.

Option menu is a mode to change the factory setting for the time clock (12 hr. clock or 24 hr. militaiy), temperature scale (°F to °C), default heating setpoint, vacation setpoint and maximum heating setpoint.

Temperature Conditions

VERY LOW — The thermostat minimum setback tempera

ture is 60°F.

HOT- A thermostat setting of 120°F will supply hot

water at the most economical temperatures.

VERYHOT- The thermostat maximum temperature is

160°F. It is recommended that the tempera

ture be set lower whenever possible.

NOTE: Water temperature range of 120°-140°F recom mended by most dishwasher manufacturers.

DATE AND TIME SETTING:

Your new programmable control comes complete with a day of the week and digital clock display. These settings are changed using the day and time keys on the control pad. To adjust day

and/or time, depress the appropriate key button. The day of the

week scrolls left to right on the display as the “DAY” button is

depressed. The time setting can be adjusted by scrolling for

ward or backward using the + and - of the “TIME” button. The clock is based on a 24-hour rolling display with AM and

PM appearing below the hour and minute characters.

CONSTANT TEMPERATURE DISPLAY:

The constant display screen shows the water temperature “WATER TEMP” inside the tank. It is continually on dis play until interrupted by a reprogram procedure, but reappears

after 20 seconds of inactivity.

MODE CHANCE

To change the mode-of-operation depress the “MODE” but ton at the bottom of the control. The mode display will change by scrolling from top to bottom with the Auto mode appearing on the top of the column, followed by the Manual mode in the middle and finally the Vacation mode at the bottom. Continue to change between mode settings by depressing the “MODE” button until the desired setting is displayed.

MANUAI. MODE

The most basic operation of the Intelligent water heater ther mostat is the Manual Mode. With this mode the thermostat is set at a desired temperature and the water heater operates to maintain that temperature. The Intelligent Maytag water heater utilizes a special sensing device in the control system that allows for temperature accuracy to be maintained at plus or minus 1°F.

VACATION MOOR

Vacation mode is used whenever the residency is unoccupied for a considerable length of time (2-days or longer) and hot water is not needed. By selecting the Vacation Mode the water heater

will maintain a reduced setting of 80 degrees untU a new opera

tion mode is selected.

PROGRAMMAR! F. MODE

The Auto mode selection permits the water heater to be pro grammed for four periods a day, 24-hours a day and 7-days a week. To begin programming, depress the “MODE” button until the AUTO selection appears in the display. To activate

the Program Mode depress the “PROGRAM” button at the top of panel. The programming mode should appear as the next display.

The first period to program is Monday “Morn” - this period is

designated as “Mom”. By depressing the + or - of the “TIME”

button, the owner can choose the target time for the water to be

at a specific temperature. The heating elements will be activated 15 minutes before the target time to heat the water to the desired temperature. For example, if 6:00 AM is the time the

occupant desires 130°F water for bathing, the time on the pro grammed display would be set for 6:00 AM. The next selection to program is the desired water temperature to have for morning activities. In this example the temperature would be set to 130°F by depressing either the up ( A ) arrow or the down ( ▼ ) arrow, located next to the display panel, until the target temperature is displayed.

Program Display

PROGRAM BUTTON

The second period to program is Monday “Day” - the method of setting the time and temperature are the same for all four selected periods of the day. The second period designated can be set to a reduced temperaUire (70°F or lower) due to the lack of need for hot water, assuming no one is at home during the day. If everyone leaves at 9:30 AM, this time can be entered into the program and the heating elements would not activate until the temperature in the tank dropped to 70°F.

The third period to program is Monday “Eve” ~ this period is

designated “Eve would usually begin when people arrive home from their daily activities. The temperature for this period can be adjusted to a normal hot water setting considering evening demand like washing dishes or clothes. For example if 125°F is the chosen temperature to have at 5:30 PM then these settings would be entered into the program.

The fourth period to program is Monday “Nite” - this period

is designated “Nite” and is usually the beginning of decreased hot water needs as the residents retire for the night. In the example the temperature would be set for 70°F or lower with the begin time set at 11:00 PM.

Program Copy - The first day of programming has now been completed. If each succeeding day of the workweek requires the same desired settings as those just programmed for Monday, these settings can be copied to the remaining four days of the

week by depressing and holding the “PROGRAM” button for

several seconds. In this manner the first day’s settings are repeated to аД four remaining weekdays.

Weekend programming - the weekend programming can be

set different than the weekday settings, if desired. Saturday and

Sunday can be separately programmed by advancing the pro gram selection to the day marked “SA” and/or “SU”. The steps described above for programming the four periods per day can be repeated for the weekend only using different rimes and tem peratures to provide desired water temperatures when needed on the weekend.

NOTE: These instructions are written for element cleaning

and element replacement for the lower element. If it is nec essary to clean or replace the upper element, dien repeat

these instructions.

To remove the element from your tank in order to clean or

replace it;

1. Before beginning turn “OFF” the electric power supply to the water heater.

A WARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Before removing

any access panels or servicing the water heater,

make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is turned "OFF". Failure to do this could result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

3. 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.

A WARNING

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.

4. Remove the two screws securing the access panel, and remove panel.

2. Turn off the water supply to the water heater at the water shutoff valve or water meter.

5. Remove the flap of insulation to expose the opening.

6. Upper Element Only - Lift out the tab as shown to uncUp the terminal cover from the high hmit. The terminal cover can now be removed from the high limit.

7. Disconnect the two wires on the element and unscrew the

old element from the tank.

10. A new gasket should be used in all cases to prevent a pos sible water leak. (See Element Gasket in the Repair Parts Chart). Place the new element gasket on the thread side

of the cleaned or new element and screw into tank, secur ing tighdy using an element wrench.

11. 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.

12. 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.

8. Clean the area around the element opening. Remove any sediment from or around the element opening and inside the tank.

9. If you are cleaning the element you have removed, do so by scraping or soaking in vinegar or a de-liming solution.

A WARNING

Replacement elements must (1) be the same volt age and (2) no greater wattage than listed on the model rating plate affixed to the water heater.

13. 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.

A CAUTION

Never use this water heater unless it is completely

full of water. To prevent damage to the tank and

heating element, the tank must be filled with water.

Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning "ON" power.

14. Check element for water leaks. If leakage occurs, tighten element or repeat steps 2 and 3, remove element and reposition gasket. Then repeat steps 11 through 15.

Service

Before calling for repair service, read the “Start Up Conditions” and “Operational Conditions” found in the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual. If a condition persists or you are uncertain about the opera tion of the water heater, let a qualified person check it out.

Call Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899.

Page 32

Troubleshooting

Start Up Conditions

THERMAL EXPANSION

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 heat ed, 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 the water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, the valve will relieve the excess pressure. The temper

ature-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 expan sion in the water system. Expansion tanks are available for ordering through the Maytag Customer Service. Contact the

local water supplier and/or call Maytag Customer Service at

1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer for assistance in controlling these situations,

STRANGE SOUNDS

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. Call Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer for further information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit #66001068 and this Chlorination Treatment.

If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement and chlo rination treatment, we can only suggest that continuous chlorina tion and filtering conditioning equipment be considered to elimi nate the water problem.

Do not remove die anode leaving die tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.

"AIR"\H HOT WATER FAUCETS

A WARNING

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 explo sive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances which are connect ed to the not water system are used (such as a dish washer or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is pre sent, there will probably be an unusual sound simi lar 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.

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.

Operational Conditions

SMELLY WATER

In each glasslincd 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 thè result of four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop:

a. a concentration of sulfate in the supply water. b. little or no dissolved oxygen in the water. c. a sulfate reducing bacteria within the water heater. (This

harmless bacteria is non-toxic to humans.)

d. an excess of active hydrogen in the tank This is caused by

the corrosion protective action of the anode.

RUMBLING NOISE

In some water areas, scale or mineral deposits will build up on your heating elements. This buildup will cause a rumbling

noise. Follow “Element Cleaning/Replacement” instructions

to clean and replace the elements.

HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM

The water heater has a high limit shut off system with a reset button located above the upper element.

Follow the resetting instructions which refer to the high limit behind the access panel.

Page 33

Troubleshooting (cont'd)

Operational Conditions (cont'd)

HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM

1. Before beginning, turn “OFF” electrical power supply to

the water heater.

AWARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Before removing

any access panels or servicing the water heater,

make sure the eiectrical supply to the water heater is turned "OFF". Failure to do this could result in DEATH, SERiOUS BODiLY INJURY. OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

2. Remove the two screws securing the upper access panel and remove panel.

NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER

1. In a new installation, the water heater may not be proper ly connected. Make sure the cold water supply valve is

open. Review and check piping installation. Make sure that the cold water line is connected to the cold water inlet to the water heater and the hot water line to the hot

water outlet on the water heater,

2. Make sure the electrical supply to your water heater is “ON”.

3. Check for loose or blown fuses in your water heater cir cuit. Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not han dle their rated load and should be replaced,

4. Make certain the disconnect switch, if used, is in the “ON” position.

5. Check to see the electric service to your house has not been intermpted. If this is the case, contact the electric company.

3. Remove the flap of insulation to expose the opening.

4. Reset the high limit by pushing in the red button marked “RESET”.

RESET BUTTON

5. Press the insulation back in place so that it completely cov

ers the high hmit and element.

6. Replace the upper access panel.

7. Turn “ON” electric power to the water heater.

A CAUTION

If the high limit must be reset again, cail Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an autho rized servicer to find out why the high limit turned "OFF" the electric power.

6. Is the programmable thermostat set to the desired tem perature? See “Temperature Regulation” section.

7. If you had experienced very hot water and now no hot water, the problem may be due to the high temperature shut off system. See “High Temperature Shut Off

System” in the “Troubleshooting” section,

8. During very cold weather, the incoming water will also be colder and it will require a longer time to become heated,

9. The hot water usage may exceed the capacity of the water heater. If so, wait for water heater to recover after abnor mal demand. Also examine pipes and faucets for possible water leaks.

10. If you can not determine the problem, then call the Maytag Service Department.

WATER IS TOO HOT

Adjust the thermostat to a lower setting. See the “Temperature Regulation” section on page 23.

Page 34

Troubleshooting (cont'd)

Operational Conditions (cont'd)

THERMOSTAT DIAGNOSTICS

The programmable thermostat will use the upper and lower temperature sensors (thermistors) to determine when either the upper or lower heating element is not functioning. It can also detect a faulty temperature sensor. The thermostat will use the service icon and its associated codes to indicate the specific failure condition and will also save the last failure condition.

To display the last failure, depress and hold the up ( A) arrow

or the down ( '^ ) arrow button for 4 seconds while in the nor mal run mode. Be Carefiil; depressing the “ERASE” button

while the last failure is displayed will erase the stored failure.

1. No Water/Dry Fire Warning - If the sensors indicate a

rise in temperature greater than 50°F in the first minute after power-up, the control will display a “NO WATER” icon indicating that there is no water in the tank. This will

immediately shut off power to both elements.

A CAUTION

This will not discontinue power from the water

heater.

4. Upper Element Failure - Tests after 90 minutes of contin

uous upper element heating without an increase in upper

water temperature. The thermostat turns off the upper ele

ment and tries for 30 minutes to raise the temperature of the upper sensor using the lower element. If the upper tem perature sensor rises using the lower element, the upper ele ment will again be tried. After 30 minutes, if the upper ele ment does not raise the upper water temperature on the second attempt, then an upper element failure will be indi cated by displaying the

“U” and “E”. The lower element will only be used to heat

the water until the upper element has been replaced.

5. Lower Element Failure - After 120 minutes of continuous

lower element heating virithout an increase in lower water temperature, lower element failure will be indicated by dis playing the “SERVICE” icon and the letters “L” and “E”. Replace the lower heating clement.

6. High Limit Device Failure - If a lower element failure

occurs when the upper element has also failed, the thermo stat will determine that the high limit device has failed. High limit device failure will be indicated by displaying the “SERVICE” icon and the letter “C”. Replace the high limit device.

“SERVICE” icon and the letters

2. Upper Temperature Sensor Failure - If the upper sensor is either open or shorted, the “SERVICE” icon and the let ters “U” and “S” wiU be displayed. The thermostat will then use only the lower heating element and lower temper ature sensor to control the water temperature until the upper sensor has been replaced.

3. Lower Temperature Sensor Failure - If the lower sensor is

either open or shorted, the “SERVICE” icon and the let ters “L” and “S” will be displayed. The thermostat will then use only the upper heating element and upper temperature sensor to control the water temperature until the lower sen sor has been replaced.

7. Re-Check - The system will run a failure event sequence

three (3) times before it assumes a final service code.

Leakage Checkpoints

Use this guide to check a “Leaking” water heater. Many sus

pected “Leakers” are not leaking tanks. Often the source of

the water can be found and corrected.

If you are not thoroughly familiar with electric codes, the

water heater, and safety practices, contact your local utility or

call Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer to check the water heater.

Condensation may he seen on pipes in humid weath er or pipe connections may be leaking.

The primary anode rod may be leaking. Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure

relief valve may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in your area.

The temperature-pressure relief valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.

The elements may be leaking at the tank fitting.

A WARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is turned "OFF", Failure to do this could result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODI LY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

A CAUTION

Read this manual first, then before checking the water heater make sure the electric supply hasoeen turned "OFF", and never turn the electric supply

"ON" before the tank is completely full of water.

ACAUTION

Never use this water heater unless it is completely

full of water. To prevent damage to the tank and

heating element, the tank must be filled with water.

The water must flow from the hot water faucet

before turning "ON" power.

Turn electrical power "OFF”, remove access panels

and fold back insulation. If leaking around elements, follow proper draining instructions and remove ele

ment. Reposition or replace gasket on element. Place

element into opening and tighten securely. Then fol

low “Filling the Water Heater” instructions in the

“Instmctions for Installation” section,

CFJ Water from drain valve may be due to the valve being

opened slightly.

" The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.

* Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may

be from condensation, loose connections or the tem

perature-pressure 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,

*NOTE: To check where threaded pordon enters

tank, insert cotton swab between jacket opening

and fitting. If cotton is wet, follow “Draining”

instructions in the “Service and Madntenance” sec tion and then remove fitting. Put pipe dwe or teflon tape on the threads and replace. Then follow

“Filling the Water Heater” instructions in the
