PRINTED IN THE U. S. A 1004 1 www. maytagwaterheaters. com PART NO. 196300-001 66001855 INSTALLATION, ALLATION SAFE INSTALLATION, USE AND SERVICE Your safety and the safety of others is extremely important in the installation, use and servicing of this water heater. Many safety-related messages and instructions have been provided in this manual and on your own water heater to warn you and others of a potential injury hazard. Read and obey all safety messages and instructions throughout this manual. [. . . ] To insure a tight fit of the vent pipe in a brick chimney, seal around the vent pipe with mortar mix cement. Make sure the gas supplied is the same type listed on the model rating plate. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed 14 inch water column (2. 6kPa) for natural and propane (L. P. ) gas. If the gas control valve is subjected to pressures exceeding 1/2 pound per square inch (3. 5kPa), the damage to the gas control valve could result in a fire or explosion from leaking gas. If the main gas line Shut-off serving all gas appliances is used, also turn "OFF" the gas at each appliance. Leave all gas appliances shut "OFF" until the water heater installation is complete. A gas line of sufficient size must be run to the water heater. Consult the current edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54 and your gas supplier concerning pipe size. There must be: · A readily accessible manual shut off valve in the gas supply line serving the water heater, and · A drip leg (sediment trap) ahead of the gas control valve to help prevent dirt and foreign materials from entering the gas control valve. · A flexible gas connector or a ground joint union between the shut off valve and control valve to permit servicing of the unit. Be sure to check all the gas piping for leaks before lighting the water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not a match or open flame. The minimum inlet gas pressure shown on the rating plate is that which will permit firing at the rated input. Failure to have required clearances between vent piping and combustible material will result in a fire hazard. Be sure vent pipe is properly connected to prevent escape of dangerous flue gases which could cause deadly asphyxiation. Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach and process chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive. Gas Piping Standard Models are for installation up to 2, 000 feet (610 m) above sea level. High Altitude models are for installation from 2, 000 feet (610 m) to 4, 500 feet (1, 370 m) above sea level. If a standard model is installed above 2, 000 feet (610 m) or high altitude model is installed above 4, 500 feet (1, 370 m), the input rating should be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1000 feet (305 m) above sea level which requires replacement of the burner orifice in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54. Contact Maytag Customer Service Center at 1-800-788-8899 or your local gas supplier or call for further information. 17 Failure to replace the standard orifice with a high altitude orifice when installed at elevations above 2, 000 feet (610 m) or above 4, 500 feet (1, 370 m) for high altitude model could result in improper and inefficient operation of the appliance, producing carbon monoxide gas in excess of safe limits, which could result in serious injury or death. Contact Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 or your local gas supplier for any specific changes which may be required in your area. Contaminants in the gas lines may cause improper operation of the gas control valve that may result in fire or explosion. Before attaching the gas line be sure that all gas pipe is clean on the inside. To trap any dirt or foreign material in the gas supply line, a drip leg (sometimes called a sediment trap) must be incorporated in the piping. The drip leg must be readily accessible.
