Maytag Commercial Washer Installation Instructions

Washer Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

DANGER: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid.
• Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation instructions for grounding instructions.
• WARNING: Do not wash water-resistant or water-repellant type clothing. Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in an abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could result in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance damage.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk." Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or recessed area. See "Drain System." Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered.

IMPORTANT:

Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need:

• A water heater set to 120°F (49°C).
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of power cord on back of washer. See "Electrical Requirements."
• Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of hot and cold water fill valves on washer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa). A pressure reduction valve should be used in the supply line where inlet pressure entering the building exceeds 100 psi (690 kPa) to avoid damage to the washer mixing valve.
• Single washer installations require 12" (300 mm) minimum risers to provide an air cushion and avoid noise and damage to valves.
• A level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer. Installing on carpet is not recommended.
• Floor must support washer's total weight (with water and load) of 315 lbs (143 kgs).

Minimum installation spacing: For recessed or closet installations, the diagram shows minimum allowable spaces. Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. If a closet door is installed, minimum air openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors are acceptable. Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
