are needed for all electrical supplies connected to the washer,
in accordance with item 5.3 in standard EN 60204-1.
Inlet Conductors and Power Supply Protection
Inlet conductors of the washer connection to the electrical
network must have copper cores. The cross section of the inlet
conductors depends on the voltage and the unit heating type,
i.e. total electrical input. Circuit breakers or fuses in the laundry
switchboard keep the inlet cable from short-circuiting and
overloading.
See “Technical Specications” for the corresponding current.
■A separate grounding wire is recommended if codes permit.
It is recommended that a qualied electrician determine
the grounding path is adequate.

Water Supply Requirements
Water supply requirements are as follows:
■Valved hot and cold water supply with a water pressure
between 14.5 and 116 PSI (100–800 kPa). Water pressure
between 43 and 73 PSI (300–500 kPa) is recommended.
■A hot water heater or boiler supplying an adequate
amount of water between 120–160°F (49–80°C). The water
temperature within the washer is controlled to a maximum
temperature that is set in the program. The amount of hot
water required to wash a load of laundry is dependent on
many factors, including the hot and cold water temperature
and the wash program selected. Average amounts of hot
water required to wash one load of laundry are shown in
the table below.
1. Main switch
2. Strain relief
3. Sag of inlet cable
Connection to Washer
These washers were designed for direct wiring into the power
supply. The washer must be electrically grounded in accordance
with all local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition,
or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Direct Wire Installation:
Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire)
and be:
■Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable
(with grounding wire), in a exible metallic conduit, to avoid
conductor breakage due to vibration. All current-carrying
wires must be insulated.
■Copper wire of appropriate gauge for amperage requirement
(see “Manufacturer’s Recommended Minimal Conductor
Section”). Stranded wire is recommended. Do not use
aluminum wire.
Equipotential bonding:
In addition to an equipment-grounding conductor that must
be run with the circuit conductor and be connected to the
equipment grounding terminal, all washers or appliances in the
vicinity must be permanently interconnected with a connector.
The external connection points serve for this purpose. See
illustration below.
The cross-sectional area of the conductor must be at least
electrically equivalent to the cross-sectional area of the copper
conductor.

Water, Drain, and Venting Connections
Water Hardness
Determine the water hardness level in water supply. Good wash
results are dependent on water hardness. In areas that have
medium and very hard water levels, a water softener may be
required. Contact your water or soap distributor for determining
the proper soap and detergents to be used with your hardness
levels for the best wash results.
Water Supply Connections
Washers have 2 water inlets. For connection dimensions,
see “Dimensions and Technical Specications.”
1. Always use the exible hoses delivered with the washer.
Do not use a xed connection to the water supply.
2. Keep proper water pressure within range. See “Dimensions
and Technical Specications.”
3. Connect all water inlets to a water supply. Contact your dealer
if there is no hot water supply available.
4. 1" (25 mm) or 1.5" (38 mm) Inlet valves for hot and cold water
use inlet pressure hoses with gaskets. Mount shut-off valves
to the water supply pipes for cleaning lters and performing
maintenance.
5. To connect the washer to the water inlet shut-off valves,
use the provided exible hoses.
Steam Connections
Washer with steam heating is equipped with an outer thread
in the back of the washer for connection with the washer steam
line. See “Dimensions and Technical Specications” for more
details.
IMPORTANT:
■Install a steam supply disconnecting device near each
washer.
■Inlet value of steam pressure must be within range. Any
other pressure may result in washer not functioning properly.
■To avoid possible injuries, shut off the main steam inlet and
let the parts cool down after connection.
■ Insert a lter with permeability up to 300 micrometers in
front of every steam valve. Dirt particles larger than 300
micrometers can damage the steam valve and cause
leakage.
■Attach steam lter to the washer at the connection point.
The supply piping must be clean without dirt and rust
particles. Impurities in the supply line can cause steam
valves to fail.
■Do not twist the lter gasket when connecting the pipes.
To shut off the assembly, clamp the lter at the side of the
connecting pipe.
Drain Connections
MFS80, MFS100, and MFS125 washers are equipped with
two 3" (75 mm) diameter drain pipes. MFS180, MFS230, and
MFS275 washers are equipped with two 4" (100 mm) diameter
drain pipes. See “Dimensions and Technical Specications” for
location. Both pipes must be connected to the waste sump.
The sump must be positioned lower than the drain, because the
washer uses gravity to discharge water. Use the provided drain
hose to connect drain pipes to sump. Secure with a clamp and
properly cover sump. The capacity of discharged water for each
washer model is 300.00 dm3/min and 80.00 gal/min for the 3"
drain. For the 4" drains, the capacity of discharged water for
each washer model is 540.00 dm3/min and 142.00 gal/min.
Recycled Water Drain Connection (some models)
Attach connecting hoses to the discharging valve located on
the right side (from rear view). The hoses go to your recycling
tank located below the drainage valve. The tank must be large
enough for the total weight and volume of water and made up of
materials which withstand 176°F (80°C) and the effects of laundry
soap. The quantity of water will vary by washer size and cycle.
Venting
IMPORTANT: To maintain proper venting, do not cover the
washer vent.
Although not recommended, it is possible to connect vent to the
laundry central exhaust ducts. Venting materials must withstand
a temperature of 176°F (80°C). Always use exible vent material
if a connection is made. The central vent for multiple washers
must be dimensioned for the total cross section of all vents and
washers. Calibrate washer’s “zero” level after vent has been
attached.
9
Page 10
Electrical Connection
Check the data plate to determine electrical requirements.
Before making the electrical connection, make sure the voltage
and frequency listed on the data plate matches your electrical
network. Each washer must be on an individual branch circuit. To
ensure uninterrupted electrical current, a residual current device
(RCD) and a circuit breaker must be installed in the building’s
electrical system for each washer. The proper connection is
described in the illustration on the right.
IMPORTANT:
■If the washer is not equipped with a main switch, supply
disconnecting devices need to be installed in accordance
with EN 60204-1 standard 5.3.
■Make sure the supply voltage is always within the limits
specied in “Technical Specications.” If the electrical
installation requires long distances to travel, it may be
necessary to use larger cables to reduce the voltage drop.

Residual Current Device (RCD)
In some countries an RCD is known as an “earth leakage trip,”
“Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter” (GFCI), “Appliance Leakage
Current Interrupter” (ALCI), or “earth (ground) leakage current
breaker.”
Specications:
■Tripping current: 100mA (if locally not available/allowed use
a 30mA trip current, preferably selective type with small time
delay set).
■ Install a maximum of two (2) washers on each RCD
(for 30mA, only one (1) washer)
■ Type B. There are components inside the washer which use
DC-voltages, making a “Type B” RCD necessary.
NOTE: Type B performs better than Type A, and Type A is
better than Type AC.
When locally allowed, an RCD must always be installed. In some
electrical network earthing systems (IT, TN-C,…), an RCD might
not be allowed (see also IEC 60364).
The washer control circuits are mostly supplied by a separating
transformer. Therefore, the RCD may not detect faults in the
control circuits (but the fuse(s) of the separating transformer will).
Supply Protection Device
A supply protection device keeps the washer and wiring from
experiencing overloads and short circuits. As a supply protection
device, you can use either glow-wire fuses or automatic circuit
breakers. See “Technical Specications” for the rating of the
nominal current and other specications of the supply protection
device. This table species that protection must be the “slow”
type, curve D for circuit breakers. Although not recommended,
if you cannot use a “slow” type, select the protection device with
one (1) step higher nominal current rating to avoid disconnecting
during start-up.
Supply Cable
The supply cable is not delivered with the washer.
Specications:
■Use conductors with copper cores.
■Stranded conductors (exible wiring) are strongly
recommended to avoid conductor breaking due to vibration.
■The cross section depends on the used supply protection
device. See “Manufacturer’s Recommended Minimal
Conductor Section” in “Electrical Requirements” for the
minimal cross section.
■The cable should be as short as possible, directly across
from the supply protection device to the washer without
branching off.
■Do not use a plug or extension cords; the washer is intended
to be permanently connected to the electrical network.
Connection:
■Insert the cable through the hole on the rear panel.
Use a strain relief to secure the supply cable.
■Strip the conductor ends according to “Adaptation of
Conductor Ends of Supply Cable” illustration on the right.
■The protective conductor must be longer to ensure it
is the last one disconnected if the cable is pulled out
unintentionally.
■With stranded conductors, it is recommended to use
“wire-end tubes” with an insulated sleeve (6) for L1/U,
(L2/V), (L3/W), (N) conductors. Make sure there cannot be
unintentional contact, since the supply cable stays under
voltage even when the main switch is off.
■Crimp a ring terminal (eyelet) to the protective conductor for
good connection to the PE terminal.
■Connect the supply cable conductors to the terminals
(main switch [1]) marked with L1/U, (L2/V), (L3/W), (N),
and the terminal (copper screw) marked with PE.
See “Main Power Inlet Connection” illustration below.
■Provide a sag in the cable, in front of the cable strain relief.
This will stop condensed water from entering the washer.
See “Main Power Inlet Connection” illustration below.

Washer Earth Connection and Equipotential Bonding
3
35
Independent of the supply cable, the washer must be connected
to the laundry earth system with a separate conductor. The
protective conductor, which enables this connection, is not
included with the washer. If there are other washers/appliances
with exposed conductive parts which can be touched
simultaneously, make equipotential bonding between all of these
appliances. The external terminal for this purpose is located
on the rear panel of the washer frame (see illustration below,
position 3). The minimum protective conductor’s cross section
depends on the supply cable cross section and can be found
in “Manufacturer’s Recommended Minimal Conductor Section”
in “Electrical Requirements.” However, to keep a supply cable
section of a minimum 4 mm2 from malfunction , it is recommended
to select a larger conductor section, for example 6 mm2.

Connecting Liquid Soap Supply Systems
All models come with a liquid soap connection.
Always use liquid soap pumps that have a ow rate high enough
to bring the desired quantity into the washer in less than 30
seconds.
IMPORTANT: Start pumping immediately after the water valves
are open. The incoming water dilutes the liquid soap and brings it
into the tub assembly.
IMPORTANT: Only qualied technicians should perform the
installation. Secure the location of the wiring and hoses properly
to keep them from being pinched, damaged, or rubbed.
Before you start to use liquid soap, check with your liquid soap
supplier to ensure the liquid soap will not cause damage and
is inert to HD-PE and PVC material. The manufacturer is not
responsible for damage caused by the liquid soap.
The washer has connections for external dosing
of liquid soaps. A plastic hose connection is
located on the rear of the washer to connect
the liquid soap hoses. The connection has
six (6) nipples that come closed at the factory.
You must drill a 0.315"/8 mm hole in the small
nipple for each liquid soap connection used (5
maximum). A ½"/12 mm nipple is also located
on the plastic hose connection. Use this nipple
ONLY for pumping in diluted soap. If you need
to use the large nipple, you must drill a 0.45"/
11.5 mm hole into it.
NOTE: Gently remove the drill particles so
that they cannot clog up the hoses and openings.
IMPORTANT:
■Make sure hose connections and clamps are
tight.
■If one of the nipples is open, close and
secure the opening with an appropriate
cover.

Electrical Connection
The power supply of the liquid soap pump system must be
connected to an external electrical source. Only qualied
technicians can make the electrical connection according to local
codes. Instructions for the correct connection can be found on
the wiring diagram located in a plastic bag inside the cabinet.
Do not connect the liquid soap pump system in the washer.
Electronic Controller with MC5 and Graphic Display
For electrical connection of supply control signals, a plastic box
is located on the rear of the washer (see illustration below,
position 1). There is also a terminal box with LED signalization
of activation of the respective pump (position 2).
A label for electrical connections is located on the back side
of the terminal box cover (see illustration below). Detailed
information on connecting signals can also be found on the
electric schematic of the washer. Signals for the supply pump
control are 24V AC. Maximum current for control circuits of
pumps must be limited to 10mA. Insert the cable for connection
of pump control signals through the plastic cable strain relief
(position 3). After connection of conductors to the respective
positions of the connector “P” (screw clamps), attach the cable
by tightening the cable strain relief and replace the cover on the
box. For details about liquid soap supply system programming,
see the programming manual.

The Vibration Switch is a critical component of the washer that
avoids washer damage during extraction with an unbalanced
load. Vibration Switch adjustment must be performed during
installation and checked annually, and should only be done by a
qualied technician.
Models MFS80, MFS100, and MFS125: The Vibration Switch is
on an assembly bolted to the bottom of the mounting plate (4).
The switch controlling element is inserted into the rubber bushing
(3) located in the limiter (2). The limiter is bolted to the drum front
face (1). The switch attached to the mounting plate is a part
of the washer frame, which is attached to the limiter with the
bushing. The bushing is the part of the assembly that vibrates.
Models MFS180, MFS230, and MFS275: The vibration switch
has a exible controlling element. The element is attached to
a holder (6) by nuts (5). The entire assembly is bolted to the
washer frame (3). The switch controlling element is inserted into
the limiters (2), which are bolted to the drum front face (1). The
limiters are the part of the assembly that vibrate.
For all models, the bushing adjusts the sensitivity of the vibration
switch by controlling the unbalance level of the wash load in the
drum.

Verifying the Vibration Switch Function
Belt Inspection and Adjustment
1. Open the control panel cover.
2. Start the extraction mode.
3. After reaching maximum RPM, switch over the vibration
switch by moving the exible control element manually.
The extraction cycle should stop. If extraction does not
stop, the vibration switch requires adjustment or is defective.
Belt Inspection, Adjustment,
and Replacement
On a new washer or after a belt replacement, make an inspection
of the belt tightness:
1. After the rst 24 hours of operation;
2. After the rst 80 hours of operation; and,
3. Every 6 months or 100 hours of operation, whichever
comes rst.
1. Turn off power to washer at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
2. The belts are accessible after the rear or side cover has been
removed. Check the belts to make sure they are neither too
tight or too loose. Change the belts if they are worn out or
damaged. Always change a complete set of the belts for one
transmission with the same type of belts being removed.
3. Be sure that the belt pulleys are aligned by laying a straight
edge along the pulley faces. If all points are touching the
straight edge, the pulleys are aligned.
4. Checking the belt tension requires a straight edge and a belt
tension gauge. Place the straight edge from the drum pulley
to the motor pulley. Belt tension is correct for Model MFS80
when a 12.1 lb (5.5 kg) force applied to the midpoint of the
belt between the two pulleys deects the belt 4/5" (20 mm).
Belt tension is correct for Models MFS100 and MFS125
when a 15.4 lb (7 kg) force applied to the midpoint of the
belt between the two pulleys deects the belt 4/5" (20 mm).
Belt tension is correct for Model MFS180 when a 2.6 lb
(1.2 kg) force applied to the midpoint of the belt between
the two pulleys deects the belt 1/2" (12.3 mm). Belt tension
is correct for Models MFS230 and MFS275 when a 4.9 lb
(2.2 kg) force applied to the midpoint of the belt between
the two pulleys deects the belt 0.35" (9 mm). To adjust the
belt, rst loosen the locking nut and loosen or tighten the belt
as necessary. Retighten the locking nut when adjusted and
recheck.
5. Replace rear panel of washer. Turn on power at circuit breaker
or fuse box.

Belt Replacement
Tightening Moments
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, do not use a pry bar to force the
belts over the pulley grooves.
1. Loosen the pulley bolts on the rear wall of the drum.
2. Loosen the adjusting screw.
3. When replacing belts, replace them with a complete set.
Make sure the new belts are the same type as the old ones.
4. Replace the pulleys if they are damaged.
5. After replacing the belts, check pulley alignment, belt
tightness, bolts, and nuts.
6. Keep the belts and pulleys clean and free of oil, lubricants,
water, etc.
Pulley Alignment:
For reliable operation and long belt life, the pulley must be
properly aligned. Inspect the alignment by placing a ruler on the
pulley faces. If all points (A, B, C, and D) are touching the ruler,
the pulley is aligned.

Lubrication
2
Grease bearings and seals with a grease gun slowly, not faster
than 5 strokes per minute. This avoids seal deformation and
leakage. Do not operate the grease gun faster, even if the
grease contains air gaps. Too much lubrication can cause the
same damage as too little.
Always make sure the grease gun is in perfect condition. Also,
if you change lubricants, make sure the new one is compatible
with the old one; failure to do so can lead to bearing failure.
For example, lithium lubricants are compatible with calcareous
lubricants but not with sodium ones. NOTE: Do not mix
petroleum lubricants with silicone lubricants.
■Lubricant: Use a multipurpose lithium lubricant containing
high-pressure additives with NLGI 2 consistency, such as
SKF-LGEP 2 or ESSO-BEACON EP 2.
■Lubricators: Main bearings and seals are located on the
rear cabinet. Press the lubricant in slowly and let the drum
rotate with the same speed as during washing.
■Quantity of Lubricant: 2 cm
every 200 working hours, whichever comes rst.
1. Rubber seal lubricator
2. Front-bearing lubricator
3. Rear-bearing lubricator

Once every 6 months or when needed, grease spring
suspension eyes (see illustration in “Spring Unit”), guide rods
(3), the door handle sleeve (see the illustration in “Thrust of
Door Seal” [2]), and the sleeves in the door brackets (2).
The motor bearings are maintenance-free (do not lubricate).
Pneumatic Lubricator (Models MFS180/230/275 only)
Fill the lubricaor pot with approximately 23 cm3 of oil. It is
recommended to use non-detergent oil without aggressive
additives and with viscosity of VG32 (ISO 3448), for example,
oil for pneumatic devices or hydraulic oil.

Water and Steam Filters
WARNING
The washer is equipped with lters on water and steam inlets
(models with steam heating) (Models MFS180/230/275 only have
a lter for steam). Filters should be cleaned occasionally to avoid
longer water lling times. Cleaning frequency depends on the
quantity of foreign particles in the water line.
Cleaning the Filter:
1. Turn off the water (steam) inlet.
2. Unscrew the lter plug and remove the lter sieve (2).
3. Clean the sieve with running water or with compressed air.
4. Put the sieve (2) and gasket (3) back on the lter body (1) and
If there is a water leakage around the door, the door position may
have shifted and is out of position or the door seal thrust may
need adjustment. In some cases the door seal needs to be
replaced.
Method 1: Adjusting on the Side of the Door Handle
1. Unscrew the bolt (1) securing the door handle sleeve (2).
2. Unscrew the handle sleeve (2) from the door carrier beam (3)
by a whole turn so that the groove in the sleeve thread (2)
appears below the handle bolt (1).
3. To make the sleeve (2) turn easier, insert a cylindrical object
(such as a bolt) into the semicircle cuts (4) between the sleeve
(2) and the handle pin (5). When the handle is turned, the
sleeve (2) will also move.
4. After the door thrust has been adjusted, tighten up the handle
bolt (1) to the groove in the sleeve (2) thread.
Method 2: Adjusting on the Side of the Door Hinge
WARNING
If Method 1 fails to adjust the door seal thrust, follow these steps:
1. Loosen the two bolts (6) securing the top door hinge (7).
2. Remove the shim washer (8).
3. Tighten the two bolts (6) securing the top hinge.
4. Tighten the two bolts (6) securing the bottom hinge.
