WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE

ONLY: This water heater is equipped for one type
voltage only. Check the rating plate near the bot-
tom access panel for the correct voltage. DO NOT

use this water heater with any voltage other than

doubts consult your electric company.

ACAUTION

WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of[
the water heater must be accomplished in such a )

manner that if the tank or any connections should I
leak, the flow of water will not cause damage to the [

structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install I
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 1'/, inches greater than the water

heater diameter and must be piped to an adequate

drain. Under no circumstances isthe manufacturer to

The Convertible Lower

Element

The Upper Element, is a conventional 3800 watt element
which only operates at its rated wattage on 240 volts.
(See rating plate on water heater).

The Lower Element of the water heater can be converted
from operation at 3800 watts to 5500 watts on a 240 volt

system.

Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions. If
after reading these instructions in this manual, if you do not
understand any portion, call Maytag Customer Service at

1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer.

AWARNING

Before making the conversion to 5500 watts, check

the (1) power supply...must be 240 volts, (2)
wiring...10 gauge AWG @ Type TW, 60oC or equiva-

lent, and (3) Circuit breakers or fusing...capable of
30 amp loading. Also, the installation must conform

with this manual, local codes and electric utility

rules. Failure to comply can result in DEATH, SERI-
OUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTYDAMAGE.

NOTE: Whether or not the dement conversion is made the
model rating plate must be marked. Using ahard point ink

pen, check the appropriate block within the model rating
plate, which is located adjacent to the lower access panel.
