MIXING VALVE USAGE

FIGURE 8.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated
to a temperature which will satisfy 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.
