MIXING VALVE USAGE
This appliance has been design certified as complying with
American National Standard/CSA Standard for water heaters
and is considered suitable for:
Water (Potable) Heating: All models are considered suitable
for water (potable) heating.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated
to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes
washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald
and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are
more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others.
These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/
mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home
fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state
law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap,
then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the
lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water
needs, a means such as a *Mixing Valve, shall be used at the
hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater.
Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware
stores. See Figure 8. Valves for reducing point of use temperature
by mixing cold and hot water are also available. Consult Maytag
Customer Service (1-800-788-8899). Follow mixing valve
manufacturer’s instructions for installation of the valves. Before
changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the
“Temperature Regulation” section in this manual, see Figures
22 and 23 on page 20.
