Operational Safety

•The MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System is under pressure during use and precautions must be taken.

•This device is designed to operate on a 120VAC/15 Amp/ 60Hz line. Do not modify the plug on the power cord. If the plug does not fit the electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

•To avoid System damage: Ensure that a Stainless Steel Prefilter or Carbon Prefilter is in place during operation of the System. In the absence of an Internal Prefilter, abrasive damage to the System may occur. A damaged System may permit contaminated water to enter the household distribution system causing illness. Irreversible and premature fouling of the System may also occur resulting in System replacement at the owner’s expense.

Service and Maintenance Safety

•To avoid electric shock: Disconnect the AC power from the MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System before servicing the controller; do not remove the controller cover while System is in use. Only MAYTAG Services Qualified Service Technicians should attempt to service the controller.

•Important: The MAYTAG Whole Home Water Filtration System must be kept in a wetted condition. Once installed or during service and maintenance activities, do not allow the System to sit completely drained for extended periods (greater than 12 hours). Failure to do so may damage the System and cause contaminated water to enter the household.
