Location Requirements; Drain System - Maytag MHN33PD Installation Instructions Manual

Location Requirements

NOTE: This washer is intended to be used in public areas.
Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a
basement, laundry room, or recessed area. See "Drain System."
Companion appliance location requirements should also be
considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
A water heater set to deliver 49°C (120°F) water to the
■
washer.
An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.8 m (6 ft.) of
■
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
Hot and cold water taps located within 1.2 m (4 ft.)
■
of the hot and cold water fill valves and water pressure
of 137.9–689.6 kPa (20–100 psi).
A level floor with a maximum slope of 25 mm (1") under entire
■
washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces, such as
carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total
■
weight (water and load) of 180 kg (400 lbs).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage
in low temperatures.
Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to allow the washer
■
door to be fully opened.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
■
installation and servicing. The door opens more than 90°
and is not reversible.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
■
floor moldings.
Additional spacing of 25 mm (1") on all sides of the washer
■
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
