Operator Safety

WARNING

NEVER insert hands or objects into basket until it has completely stopped. Doing so could result in serious injury.

SW012

To ensure the safety of machine operators, the following maintenance checks must be performed daily:

1.Prior to operating the machine, verify that all warning signs are present and legible. Missing or illegible signs must be replaced immediately. Make certain that spares are available.

2.Check door interlock before starting operation of the machine:

a.Attempt to start the machine with the door open. The machine should not start with the door open.

b.Close the door without locking it and attempt to start the machine. The machine should not start with the door unlocked.

c.Close and lock the door and start a cycle. Attempt to open the door while the cycle is in progress. The door should not open.

If the door lock and interlock are not functioning properly, call a service technician.

3.Do not attempt to operate the machine if any of the following conditions are present:

a.The door does not remain securely locked during the entire cycle.

b.Excessively high water level is evident.

c.Machine is not connected to a properly grounded circuit.

Do not bypass any safety devices in the machine.

WARNING

Never operate the machine with a bypassed or disconnected balance system. Operating the machine with severe out-of-balance loads could result in personal injury and serious equipment damage.

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 factory immediately.

Environmental Conditions

●Ambient Temperature. Water in the machine will freeze at temperatures of

32° F or below.

Temperatures above 120° F (50° 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.

●Elevation. If the machine is to be operated at elevations of over 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) 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.
