Location Requirements; Drain System - Maytag MHN30PDBGW Installation Instructions Manual

Location Requirements

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.
A grounded 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 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.
