Locationrequirements; Drain System - Maytag MHN31PDAXW Installation Instructions Manual

LocationRequirements
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 120°F (49°C) water to the
washer.
[] A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m)
of where the power cord is attached to the back of the
washer. See "Electrical Requirements."
[] Hot and cold water taps located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of
the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of
20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).
[] A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) 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 400 Ibs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
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 it is not reversible.
[] Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
[] Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer
is recommended to reduce noise transfer.
[]
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
Washer Dimensions
A floor drain should be provided under the bulkhead.
Prefabricated bulkheads with electrical outlets, water inlet lines,
and drain facilities should be used only where local codes permit.
Drain System
The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system
(floor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the floor drain
system. Select the drain hose installation method you need.
See "Tools and Parts."
