WATER IS TOO HOT

1. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too high. See the "Temperature Adjustment" section.

NOTE: A period of time is necessary after an adjustment has been made for the water temperature to reach the new temperature setting.

2.If lower temperature settings will not lower the water temper-

ature, call Maytag Customer Service (1-800-788-8899) for an authorized servicer.

AWARNING

Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water temperature in certain situations may be hotter than the thermostat setting.

Short, frequent draws of hot water - especially with very cold incoming water - can shock the thermo- stat into brief operation resulting in hotter and hot- ter layers of water closer to the top of the tank.

Changes in hot water usage patterns or raisinq the temperature differential between the cut-on of the

thermostat and the cold water temperature will usually eliminate the problem.
