information's. Read and respect also the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS"
The washer is a rigid-mount model, it MUST be securely fixed mounted to a foundation to work properly and in
a safe way.
Note: It is strongly recommended that the MFR80 and 60 machines be mounted onto a not elevated concrete
base only. We also recommend it for the MFR40 and 60.
CAUTION: - Putting machines on an elevation or riser creates a higher distance to reach the soap dispenser.
- Never put a riser on raised foundation.
- The washer needs to installed always level or very slightly tipped with front higher, for sure
not opposite. Therefore the foundation surface has to be made with these conditions.
NEVER install the washer on an upper floor or over a basement without a load support designed by a
structural engineer. It is required the installation be on a concrete foundation. Metal-reinforced wood
floors and all not concrete foundations are NOT allowed due to a potential for excessive vibrations
and fire.
Improper installation will void the warranty. Maytag is not responsible for damage or injury caused by
improper installation.
