Safety Instructions

_,WARNING

The water heater with draft hood installed must be

properly vented to a chimney which terminates out- doors. Never operate the water heater unless it is vented to the outdoors and has adequate air supply to avoid risks of improper operation, explosion or asphyxiation.

AWARNING

Minimum clearances between the water heater and combustible and noncombustible construction are 1'p at the sides and rear, 4" at the front, and 6" from the vent pipe. Clearance from the top of the jacket is 18" on most models. Note that a lesser dimension may be allowed on some models. Refer to the label on the

water heater adjacent to the gas control valve for all clearances.

AWARNING

Flood damage to a water heater may not be readily visible or immediately detectible. However, over a period of time a flooded water heater will create dangerous conditions which can cause DEATH, SERI-

OUS BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Contact the Maytag dealer from whom the appli- ance was purchased or call Maytag Customer Service

at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer to replace a flooded water heater, Do not attempt to repair the unit! It must be replaced!

AWARNING

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 explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these con- ditions, we recommend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dish- washer or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound similar 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.

_WARNING

INSULATING JACKETS; When installing an external water heater insulation jacket on a gas water heater:

DO NOT cover the temperature-pressure relief valve.

DO NOT put insulation over any part of the top of the gas water heater.

DO NOT put insulation over the gas control valve or

gas control valve/burner cover, or any access areas to the burner.

DO NOT let insulation around the gas water heater to get within 8 inches of the floor (air must get to the burner).

DO NOT cover or remove operating instructions, and safety related warning labels and materials

affixed to the water heater.

Failure to heed this will result in the possibility of a fire or explosion.

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 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 hard- ware store. Such a drain pan must be not greater than 1½ inches deep, have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches greater than the water heater dimensions and must be piped to an ade-

quate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Under no circumstances is the manufactur-

er to be held liable for any water damage in con- nection with this water heater.
