Instructions for Installation (cont’d)

Selecting Thermostat Location

1.The programmable thermostat control module is shipped attached to the front of the water heater, located behind the hinged cover panel.

If this thermostat location is acceptable to the homeowner, proceed directly to the “Installation Checklist” on page 22 and then to “Temperature Regulation” on page 23.

2.The thermostat control module can also be installed next to the home’s heating or heating/cooling thermostat, or in another convenient location remote from the water heater.

3.The remote location should be about 5 feet above the floor on any wall with good air circulation at average room tem- perature.

6.Probe for any obstruction in the partition. In a clear area drill a 1⁄2″ hole through the wall at the selected location.

7.Through this hole in the wall, drop a light chain or short chain attached to a strong cord. Snag the cord with a hooked wire from the basement. (In a home with no basement, drop the cord from ceiling and snag it at the thermostat hole location.)

8.Attach one end of the wiring harness to the cord. Pull the cable through the hole in the wall so that 6 inches of cable protrudes. Other end of cable is to be routed back to the junc- tion box on top of the water heater (Step 21). Before proceed- ing, turn “OFF” the electric power supply to the water heater.

WARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is turned “OFF”. Failure to do this could result in

DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

THERMOSTAT REMOVAL

9.Holding fingers along the top and thumb on bottom, between the thermostat and wall plate, gently remove thermostat from the wall plate. The thermostat will be installed at the selected remote location in Steps 32 and 33.

ROUTING WIRE HARNESS TO LOCATION

4.A wiring harness kit for up to 50 feet of wiring is available (see Repair Parts list) from your Maytag Dealer.

5.Before drilling a hole in the wall at the selected location, take

up floor moulding (quarter round or other) and drill a small guide hole for sighting. From the basement, drill a 3⁄4″ hole in

partition floor next to guide hole (in homes with no base- ment, drill a 1⁄2″ hole through ceiling above the partition).
