WATER IS TOO HOT
1. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too high. See the
"Temperature Adjustment" section.
NOTE: A period of time is necessary after an adjustment
has been made for the water temperature to reach the new
temperature setting.
2. If lower temperature settings will not lower the water temper-
ature, call Maytag Customer Service (1-800-788-8899) for an
authorized servicer.
AWARNING
Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater,
the water temperature in certain situations may be
hotter than the thermostat setting.
Short, frequent draws of hot water - especially with
very cold incoming water - can shock the thermo-
stat into brief operation resulting in hotter and hot-
ter layers of water closer to the top of the tank.
Changes in hot water usage patterns or raisinq the
temperature differential between the cut-on of the
thermostat and the cold water temperature will
usually eliminate the problem.
