Drain Facility; Location Considerations; Alcove Or Closet Installation - Maytag Neptune MAH8700AW Install Manual

To Avoid The Possibility Of Water Damage:
• Have Water Faucets Easily Accessible
• Turn Off Faucets When Washer Is Not In Use.

DRAIN FACILITY

Recommended height of the standpipe is 18". The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip
to the standpipe. Standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The
drain hose is attached at the factory.
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 surfaces
are contributing factors in vibration and/or tendency for a washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install the washer on a platform or weakly 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°F.
