temperatu_ setting.

ature, call Mayt'ag Customer Service (1-800-788-8899) for an

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 coldincoming 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 ralsinq the

temperature differential between the cut-on of the

thermostat and the cold water temperature will

usually eliminate the problem.
