Maytag MFS 50-125 Washer User Manual


 
18 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL PUBLICATION DATE 03/02 504 766
Inlet valves 1“ (machine 22 kg / 50 lbs capacity: 3/4“) for cold and hot water are delivered with the machine.
For these valves use inlet pressure hoses with gaskets. Mount shut - off valves 1“ (machine 22 kg / 50 lbs
capacity: 3/4“) to the water supply pipes, it will make the maintenance and cleaning of filters delivered with
a machine easy.
For connection of the machine to water inlet shut-off valves we recommend to use enclosed flexible hoses
(960mm / 38“ long) with couplings 1“ (machine 22 kg / 50 lbs capacity.: 3/4“).
If you connect the water inlet without using flexible hoses, install connections to the connecting points; this
will make possible to dismantle valves / filters in case of failure.
WATER DRAIN CONNECTION
The washer is equipped with 2 drain pipes (machine 22 kg / 50 lbs : only 1) of 75 mm (3“) diameter, located
in the machine rear wall. These must be connected to the waste sump.
The waste sump must be located lower than the drain pipes because the water discharges from the
machines by gravity. Do not reduce the diameter of the machine drain pipes.
To connect the machine drainage to a waste sump, you can use the elbow 75 mm /3“ which is a part of the
delivery. Secure the elbow with a clamp. Cover the waste sump with a proper cover.

STEAM CONNECTION
The washing machine with a steam heating is equipped with an outer thread G 3/4“ in the machine rear part
for connecting to the laundry steam line. For dimensions of connection points see fig.3.5. The value of inlet
steam pressure must correspond to the range stated in chapter „2. Technical specification“. Any other
pressure values can cause an improper or insufficient function of the machine.
WARNING !
STOP THE MAIN STEAM INLET AND LET THE PARTS COOL DOWN AFTER THE CONNECTION TO
AVOID POSSIBLE INJURIES.
WARNING !
BEFORE EVERY STEAM VALVE IT IS NECESSARY TO INSERT THE FILTER WITH PERMEABILITY
UP TO 300 MICROMETERS. POSSIBLE DIRT BIGGER THAN 300 MICROMETERS MIGHT DAMAGE
THE STEAM VALVE AND CAUSE ITS LEAKAGE.
Attach the steam filter which is a part of the delivery to the machine connecting point. The supply piping
must be clean without dirt particles and rust residues. Impurities in supply line may cause failures of steam
valves.
WHEN CONNECTING THE PIPES DO NOT TWIST THE FILTER GASKET. THE ASSEMBLY SHUT BE
MADE BY CLAMPING THE FILTER AT THE SIDE OF CONNECTING PIPE.
To enable a possible dismantling of the steam valve, equipped the attaching point with a connector.
VENTING
WARNING !
WATCH FOR A STEAM ESCAPE FROM THE MACHINE VENTING (FIG. 3.5, POS. 3 AND 16),
DANGER !
DO NOT COVER THE MACHINE VENTING; IT SERVES AS A STEAM OUTLET, MACHINE VENTING
AND ALLOWS A PROPER MEASURING OF THE LEVEL!
You can connect the machine venting pipe to the laundry central duct for exhausting the steam out of the
building. For placing of connection points see fig.3.5. The piping material must withstand a temperature of
80°C / 176°F. You can attach a rubber elbow delivered with machine by using of a clamp (tape). The central
duct for multiple venting must be dimensioned for the total cross section of venting pipes of all machines.
A calibration of the machine's „zero“ level must be made after the duct attachment.
