Washers should be installed on a level concrete floor 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 

floor. 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 fitting) 

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”).

washer.

 

■

A solid concrete floor or slab capable of withstanding the 

weight and vibration produced by the washer. The maximum

from walking during extraction cycles.

open completely.
