CAUTION If wiring from your fuse box or circuit breaker box was aluminum for your old water heater, replace it with copper wire. If you wish to reuse the existing aluminum wire, have the connection at the water heater made by a competent electrician. Call Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer.
