WASHER SAFETY

IMPORTANT:

■ This washer must be directly wired to the electrical system

and may not be attached with a plug.

■ The circuit must be a dedicated circuit and may not be

combined with any lighting circuit.

■ Adequate grounding is essential to washer operation.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools and Parts

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Tools needed:

These washers must be installed by professional installers. The installer should have a full compliment of standard SAE and metric hand tools as well as other specialized tools as required.

Additional materials required:

Additional materials required vary with the type of installation. The customer is responsible for supplying additional hardware and adapters as necessary.

Parts supplied:

Remove parts bag from washer drum. Check that all parts were included. The number of parts supplied varies with model.

■ Molded rubber drain hose and band clamp

■ Rubber washers for the hoses (4 or 6)

■ Water supply hoses (2 or 3)

Optional Equipment

The following optional equipment is available for these washers.

Steam Heater Kit

Steam heating kits is available for Model MFS55 only. To add a steam kit to your washer, order the kit specied in the table below:

Model Steam Kit Number

MFS55PNA W10308483

Location Requirements

Washers should be installed on a level concrete oor on the ground level of a building; they can also be installed on an elevated concrete pad up to 12" (300 mm) above the surrounding oor. Consult a structural engineer to approve other locations. The models MFS18 and MFS25 washers can also be mounted on an elevated metal base up to 12" (300 mm) high.

Proper installation is your responsibility. The installation must meet all governing codes and ordinances.

You will need:

■ The washer should be located in a building and not directly

exposed to the weather. The temperature of the building should be 40–95°F (5–35°C) during operation.

■ A hot water heater set between 120–160°F (49–80°C).

■ Valved hot and cold water supply (3/4" male NPT tting)

within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the washer with a water pressure between 43 and 73 PSI (0.3–0.5 MPa).

■ A dedicated, GFCI-equipped circuit for each washer (see

“Electrical Requirements”).

■ Adequate sanitary sewer drainage located behind each

washer.

■ A solid concrete oor or slab capable of withstanding the

weight and vibration produced by the washer. The maximum slope of the oor is 1" (25 mm) under the washer. A rough concrete surface is preferable to a smooth or covered surface when the washer is not secured, to keep the washer from walking during extraction cycles.

Minimum Installation Clearances:

The location must be large enough to allow the washer door to open completely.

■ There should be adequate access behind and above the

washer for maintenance and service.

Installation on an elevated base

NOTES:

■ Models MFS35 and MFS55 are mountable on either a metal

base or an elevated cement slab; however, they must be adequately secured.

■ Minimum clearances should be maintained when installing

washers in an elevated position.

Fixed Installation on Concrete Floor or Elevated Concrete Pad (all models)

All washer models can be installed on an elevated cement slab. The base must be able to withstand both the load and vibration of the washer. The washer must be secured with anchor bolts (See “Installation Instructions”). Install the 4 anchors before nal installation of the washer.

Freestanding Installation on Elevated Concrete Pad (Models MFS18 and MFS25 only)

Models MFS18 and MFS25 can be installed on an elevated concrete pad without bolts by installing a metal channel at the front of the concrete pad to secure the front washer mounting feet. Specications of the metal channel are shown in the gure below. The channel must be rmly secured with anchors or self-tapping cement screws.
