Maytag MAH4000AWQ NEPTUNE Installation Instructions Manual page 4

FLOORING
For best performance the washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood
" floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and / or unbalanced load situations.
Carpeting and soft tile surfacbs are contributing factors in vibration and / or tendency for a
washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never install the washer on a platfot'm or
weak supported structure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommended the washer never be installed in areas where water may freeze since the
washer will always maintain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. This can
cause damage to belts, pump, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be
above 60 degrees F.
