Draining

The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures. Also periodic draining and cleaning of sediment from the tank may be necessary.

1.Before beginning 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.

2. CLOSE the cold water inlet valve to the water heater.

WARNING

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pres- sure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any property damage or bodily injury. The water may be extremely hot.

If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.

Failure to install and maintain a new properly listed tempera- ture-pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any claim which might result from excessive temperature or pressure.

WARNING

If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps or discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion. Your water heater may have a check valve installed in the water line or a water meter with a check valve. Call Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer. Do not plug the temperature- pressure relief valve.

3.OPEN a nearby hot water faucet and leave open to allow for draining.

4.Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate to an ade- quate drain or outdoors.

5.OPEN the water heater drain valve to allow for tank draining.

NOTE: If the water heater is going to be shut down and drained for an extended period, the drain valve should be left open with hose connected allowing water to termi- nate to an adequate drain.

6.Close the drain valve.

7.Follow “Filling the Water Heater” instructions in the “Instructions for Installation” section.

8.Turn “ON” power to the water heater.

CAUTION

Never use this water heater unless it is completely full water. To prevent damage to the tank and heat- ing element, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON” power.
