Safety Information

Safe Operating Environment

Safe operation requires an appropriate operating environment for both the operator and the machine. If questions regarding safety arise, contact the manufacturer immediately.

Environmental Conditions

Ambient Temperature. Water in the machine will freeze at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or below.

Temperatures above 104°F (40°C) will result in more frequent motor overheating and, in some cases, malfunction or premature damage to solid state devices that are used in some models. Special cooling devices may be necessary.

Water pressure switches are affected by increases and decreases in temperature. Every 25°F (10°C) change in temperature will have a 1% effect on the water level.

Humidity. Relative humidity above 90% may cause the machine’s electronics or motors to malfunction or may trip the ground fault interrupter. Corrosion problems may occur on some metal components in the machine.

If the relative humidity is below 30%, belts and rubber hoses may eventually develop dry rot. This condition can result in hose leaks, which may cause safety hazards external to the machine in conjunction with adjacent electrical equipment.

Ventilation. The need for make-up air openings for such laundry room accessories as dryers, ironers, water heaters, etc., must be evaluated periodically. Louvers, screens, or other separating devices may reduce the available air opening significantly.

Radio Frequency Emissions. A filter is available for machines in installations where floor space is shared with equipment sensitive to radio frequency emissions.

Elevation. If the machine is to be operated at elevations of over 3280 feet (1000 m) above sea level, pay special attention to water levels and electronic settings (particularly temperature) or desired results may not be achieved.

Chemicals. Keep stainless steel surfaces free of chemical residues.

DANGER

Do not place volatile or flammable fluids in any machine. Do not clean the machine with volatile or flammable fluids such as acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel reducers, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, benzene, naptha, etc. Doing so could result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the machine.

SW002

Water Damage. Do not spray the machine with water. Short circuiting and serious damage may result. Repair immediately all seepage due to worn or damaged gaskets, etc.

Machine Location

Foundation. The concrete floor must be of sufficient strength and thickness to handle the floor loads generated by the high extract speeds of the machine.

Service/Maintenance Space. Provide sufficient space to allow comfortable performance of service procedures and routine preventive maintenance.

Consult installation instructions for specific details.

CAUTION

Replace all panels that are removed to perform service and maintenance procedures. Do not operate the machine with missing guards or with broken or missing parts. Do not bypass any safety devices.
