This document provides installation instructions and operational guidelines for a Maytag Commercial Washer, specifically model MAT20MNBKW. It is designed for both owners and authorized service personnel, ensuring safe and efficient use and maintenance of the appliance.
The Maytag Commercial Washer is a heavy-duty appliance designed for commercial laundry environments, such as staff kitchens, offices, farmhouses, hotels, motels, bed and breakfast establishments, and communal laundrettes. Its primary function is to efficiently wash various types of laundry, accommodating a maximum load size of 7.7 kg. The washer is engineered to handle different fabric types and soil levels, offering a range of wash cycles to suit diverse needs. It operates with both hot and cold water inputs and requires a proper drain system for wastewater disposal. The appliance is built to withstand the rigors of frequent commercial use, emphasizing durability and reliable performance.
The washer is designed for straightforward operation, though proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and to minimize noise and vibration. Users should be aware of the typical full load sizes to avoid overloading, which can impact wash quality and machine longevity. The manual provides detailed loading suggestions for various load types, including mixed loads, heavy work clothes, permanent press, and knits, ensuring efficient use of the 7.7 kg capacity.
For safety, users are warned against washing items with any type of oil, as this can lead to fire or explosion. It is also recommended to avoid washing fiberglass items in coin-operated washers to prevent residue buildup. Children should be supervised when near the washer, and they should not be allowed to play with or inside the appliance. Before discarding the washer, the door or lid should be removed to prevent accidental entrapment.
The washer requires a water heater set to 49°C (120°F) for optimal performance. Water pressure between 138–690 kPa (20–100 psi) is necessary, and a pressure reduction valve should be used if inlet pressure exceeds 690 kPa (100 psi) to protect the mixing valve. The appliance must be plugged into an earthed electrical outlet, and extension cords or portable outlet devices should not be used.
The installation process, detailed for authorized service personnel, includes several steps that impact usage. Proper leveling of the washer is essential to reduce excessive noise and vibration during operation. The drain hose must be correctly routed and secured to prevent water leakage and ensure efficient drainage. The manual specifies requirements for various drain systems, including floor drains, wall standpipes, floor standpipes, and laundry tubs, with minimum height and capacity requirements to ensure proper siphon break and prevent backflow.
Connecting the inlet hoses correctly to both hot and cold water faucets is also critical. New hoses supplied with the washer should always be used, and old hoses should never be reused. The couplings must be tightened securely, but not overtightened, to prevent damage to the valves and ensure leak-free connections. Before the first use, it is recommended to run water through the faucets and inlet hoses to clear any particles that could clog the inlet valve screens. A test cycle with half the recommended detergent for a medium-size load should be run to clean the washer and verify proper operation.
The manual emphasizes several maintenance aspects, primarily through proper installation and regular checks. For instance, the inlet hoses should be replaced after five years of use to reduce the risk of failure, and their installation/replacement dates should be recorded. Periodic inspection of hoses for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks is advised, with immediate replacement if any issues are found.
The washer's design incorporates features that facilitate maintenance by authorized service personnel. The installation instructions detail how to access and secure various components, such as the drain hose and leveling feet, which might require adjustment over time. The importance of removing shipping materials, including the shipping base and packing tray, is highlighted, with a recommendation to keep these materials in case the washer needs to be moved later.
For any assistance or service needs, owners are directed to contact their authorized Maytag Commercial Laundry distributor or an authorized service company. The model and serial numbers, found on the serial-rating plate, are necessary for obtaining service. The manual also provides contact information for written correspondence with the Maytag Commercial Laundry Service Department.
Regarding disposal, the appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). This indicates that the product should not be treated as household waste but should be handed over to an applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. This ensures proper disposal to avoid potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, aligning with local environmental regulations.
The warranty information outlines a five-year limited warranty covering factory-specified replacement parts for defects in materials or workmanship, provided the appliance is installed, maintained, and operated according to instructions. This warranty does not cover labor costs or damages resulting from improper installation, misuse, or unauthorized repairs, underscoring the importance of professional installation and adherence to guidelines for longevity and performance.
