- 50 HZ AND 60 HZ

A washer must be used on the voltage and
frequency it was designed for. It should be
operated on an individual branch circuit and
fused by no less than a 15 amp fuse or circuit
breaker for 120 volt units or 10 amp fuse or
circuit breaker on 220-240 volt units. Export
models may require the addition of a plug on
the power cord. It is the responsibility
of the
installer to assure that this has been done
properly. Check the data plate to be sure of
voltage and line frequency requirements.

EXPORT-specific
grounding instructions must
be determined due to variation of electrical
services.
WATER
Water pressure of 30 to 120 p.s.i, is required to
correctly fill the washer to the proper levels.
Pressures of less than 30 p.s.i, may cause a
failure to the water valve. The valve might not
shut off completely.

DRAIN FACILITY

FLOORING

Recommended
height of standpipe is 36".
The standpipe must be large enough to accept
a 1-1/2 inch outside diameter drain hose.

For best performance,
the washer must be
installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood
floors may need to be reinforced to minimize
vibration and/or unbalanced load situations.

Without the 36" high elevation,
water may
run out of the washer prematurely.
A
possible sign that the drain hose has not been
elevated to proper height is if the washer fills
and drains at the same time.
The drain hose is attached

at the factory.

A drain that will permit 23 gallons per minute
flow is required to evacuate the washer. The
standpipe should have a 1-1/2 inch minimum
internal diameter to prevent siphoning.
Tight connections between the drain hose and
the drain (standpipe, etc.) are not recommended
since they violate most plumbing codes. In
most cases where a tight connection is
demanded, an antisiphon valve should be
placed in the drain hose to prevent water from
siphoning from the washer or facility during
agitation. If required, an antisiphon valve
(Part No. 12001586) is available from your
dealer or store.
Refer to the drain height drawing to determine
if special provisions must be taken for the drain
hose and pump:

Between the floor and 3 feet, the routing of
the drain hose is critical. Be sure that at

If installing on carpeting, be sure there is
adequate clearance between carpet and
moving parts beneath the washer.

LOCATION

CONSIDERATIONS

It is recommended

the washer

never be

installed in areas where water may freeze,
since the washer will always maintain some
water in the water valve, pump and hose
areas. This can cause damage to belts, pump,
hoses and other components.
Operating
temperature
should be above 60°F.

COLD WEATHER

STORAGE

The following precautions should be taken if a
washer is to be stored where it would be
subject

to freezing

conditions.

least some portion of the hose reaches a
height of 3 feet before running to the drain.

1. Turn off the water supply,
inlet hoses.

Between

2. Select a fill cycle and energize the water
valve by selecting a warm water setting.
A few seconds of fill is sufficient.

3 feet and 5 feet is the recom-

mended drain height.

©

Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are also
contributing factors in vibration and/or
tendency for a washer to move slightly during
spin cycle. Never install washer on a platform
or weak supported structure.

For drain heights greater than 5 feet, a
high-volume pump (Part No. 12001587)
may improve draining performance,
especially if the unit provides a customized
cycle with a slow spin speed (refer to the
User's Guide).

If the drain hose needs to be extended

to

reach the drain facility, an accessory kit must
be obtained (Part No. 12001585).
If a highvolume pump is purchased, the extension kit is
included. Contact your authorized Maytag
dealer for further assistance.

3. Disconnect

from electrical

and remove the

supply.

4. Lower the drain hose to floor level and tip
the washer on its back to allow water to
drain from the pump and drain hose.
5. Return washer to upright position.
6. 30 day detergent dispenser should be
completely emptied (on models so
equipped).

NOTE:

If the washer

• Untape and raise the washer lid. Remove the
styrofoam tub block, remove the items shipped
in the spin basket, then replace the tub block.
Save the literature for future reference. Close

hose in the drain facility (standpipe, laundry

in the drain hose from factory testing. The
height of the drain facility is important.
Refer
to the "DRAIN FACILITY" section to determine
if special provisions are needed. NOTE: Do
not remove the hose retainer from the drain
hose. If the hose is twisted after it has been
placed in the drain, adjust the end of the hose
to remove the twist. To remove the twist, turn
the short end of the hose while holding the
base of the hose stationary.
