Safety Instructions

AWARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause death, serious bodily injury, or property damage. Refer to this manual for assistance consult your local gas utility or call

Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899for an authorized servicer for further information.

&WARNING

WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE TYPE GAS ONLY: This water heater is equipped for one type gas only. Check the model rating plate near the gas control valve for the correct gas. DO NOT USE THIS

WATER HEATER WITH ANY GAS OTHER THAN THE ONE SHOWN ON THE MODEL RATING PLATE. Failure to use the correct gas can cause problems which can result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROP-

ERTY DAMAGE. If you have any questions or doubts consult your gas supplier or local utility,

AWARNING

INSTALLATIONS IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQ- UIDS (VAPORS) ARE LIKELYTO BE PRESENTOR STORED (GARAGES, STORAGE, AND UTILITY AREAS, ETC):

I Flammable liquids (such as gasoline, solvents, propane (LP) or butane, etc.), all of which emit flammable

vapors, may be improperly stored or used in such areas. The gas water heater pilot light or main burner can ignite such vapors, The resulting flashback and fire can cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area, as well as property damage,

If installation in such areas is your only option, then the installation must be accomplished in a way that the pilot flame and main burner flame are elevated from the floor at least 18 inches, While this may reduce

the chances of flammable vapors from a floor spill being ignited, gasoline and other flammable sub- stances should never be stored or used in the same

room or area containing a gas water heater or other open flame or spark producing appliance,

NOTE: Flammable vapors may be drawn by air currents from other areas of the structure to the appliance,

AWARNING

If this water heater will be used in beauty shops, barber shops, cleaning establishments, or self-serv- ice 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. Refer to the

"Locating The New Water Heater" section of this manual and also the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54 for specifics provided concerning air required,

AWARNING

A fire can start if combustible materials such as clothing, cleaning materials, or flammable liquids

are paced against or next to the water heater.

AWARNING

At the time of manufacture this water heater was pro- vided with a combination temperature-pressures relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing labo- ratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, and the latest edition of ANSI Z21.22 and the code require-

remquiremnts ofentsASMEof. localIf replcodes,aced, butthe notvalvelessthanmust meeta combithe- nation temperature and pressure relief valve certified as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and

Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 by a nationally recognized test- ing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials.

The valve must be marked with a maximum set pres- sure 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 sat- isfied 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 rehef valve must not be removed from it'sdesignated 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 within 6 inches above, or at any distance below the structural floor. Be certain that no contact is

made with any live electrical part. The discharge open- ing must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances.Excessivelength, 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 provic[- 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 suitable means, the water flow may cause property damage.

The Discharge Pipe:

Must notbe 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.

 

of both the temperature-pressure relief valve, and

 

Must be installed so as to allow complete

drainage

 

 

the discharge pipe.

 

 

Must terminate at an adequate drain.

 

 

Must not have any valve between the relief valve
