Maytag MFS 25-35 manual Water Consumption, Steam Connection, Water Drain Connection

HOT WATER

When the machine is provided with a hot water inlet, we advise connecting this inlet to a hot water supply that is set to 70°C / 158°F. The hot water supply needs to be large enough to provide the required hot water for the washers.

WATER CONNECTION

Most machines are made with 2 or 3 water inlets. One is always marked with „soft water“. If more inlets are present, they are marked with „Hot water“ or „Hard water“. For connection dimensions see fig. 3.1. Always use the flexible hose delivered with the machine, if not present, contact your dealer. In each case do not use a fixed connection to the water supply.

For the proper function of the machine, it is necessary to keep the water pressure within the limits stated in the technical data. It is also necessary to connect all available water inlets to a water supply. If a hard water supply is not present, connect it with soft water. If no hot water supply is present, contact your dealer for the proper required action.

The machine is equipped with 3/4" inlet valves. First let the water flow from the tap into the drain before connecting the machine to the water system. This is for cleaning the pipes from dirt. Otherwise the filters could be stopped up.

Open the taps and check the connection points at the taps and at the inlets of the machine for tightness. If water is leaking, correct the position of the seal and tighten the screw coupling.

WATER CONSUMPTION

The water consumption depends on the programmed values in the timer. These values are shown in the program manual. For a prewash and wash the low water level (LL) is used. The high water level (HL) is used for rinsing. The programmed units correspond to an average amount of water. You can calculate the total water consumption in one washing program by counting up the amount of water by each washing step.

An example is shown for a system with cold and warm water supply for a machine with capacity of 10kg / 22lb. A system without warm water supply you can count with the total amounts.

Program (60°C / 140F) Light soiled linen

Consumption	Cold water	Warm water	Total
	(liter / gal)	(liter / gal)	(liter / gal)
1. Wash 60°C	15 / 3.96	16 / 4.22	31	/ 8.18
2. Rinse (3x)	46 / 12.15	-	138	/ 36.45
TOTAL	61 / 16.11	16 / 4.22	169	/ 44.64

Tab 4.6.B. Water consumption

The values received from this calculation is only an estimation of the real water consumption. The deviation depends on many circumstances. In the wash cycle for example there will be taken a mix of warm water and cold water. The mix of the water depends on the temperature of both. The total amount of water consumed depends also on the loading of the drum with linen and the turning of the drum.

STEAM CONNECTION

! 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.

Machines with steam heating have a device for a steam connecting, see fig. 3.1, pos.12) with diameter 1/2“ in rear left part. Use inlet steam pressure hoses, adapted to the valves with seal. The condition for proper function of inlet valves is the pressure between (0,1 - 0,3 MPa / 14,5 - 44 PSI - applicable for steam pressure low), (0,3-0,8 MPa / 44-116 PSI - applicable for steam pressure high).

WATER DRAIN CONNECTION

The machine is equipped with a drain valve of 76 mm (3“) diameter. The drain is situated on the rear

of the machine. The drain has to be connected to the waste channel. You can use the elbow, which is a part of the delivery. Secure the elbow with a clamp.

THE WASTE CHANNEL 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.
