precautions are intended for the personal safety of the
operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the
machine.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons when
using your washer, follow these basic
precautions:
W023
DANGER
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
DANGER indicates the presence of a
hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the danger is ignored.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-

Environmental Conditions
SW012
• Ambient Temperature. Water in machine will
To ensure the safety of machine operators, the
following maintenance checks must be performed
daily:
freeze at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) 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.
1. Prior to operating machine, verify that all
warning signs are present and legible. Missing or
illegible signs must be replaced immediately.

the water level.
2. Check door interlock before starting operation of
machine:
a. Attempt to start machine with door open.
Machine should not start with door open.
• Humidity. Relative humidity above 90% may
cause machine’s electronics or motors to
malfunction or may trip ground fault interrupter.
Corrosion problems may occur on some metal
components in machine.
b. Close door without locking it and attempt to
start machine. Machine should not start with
door unlocked.
c. Close and lock door and start a cycle. Attempt
to open door while cycle is in progress. Door
should not open.
If relative humidity is below 30%, belts and
rubber hoses may eventually develop dry rot.

may cause safety hazards external to machine in
conjunction with adjacent electrical equipment.
If door lock and interlock are not functioning
properly, call a service technician.
3. Do not attempt to operate machine if any of the
following conditions are present:
• 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 available air opening
significantly.
a. Door does not remain securely locked during
entire cycle.
b. Excessively high water level is evident.
c. Machine is not connected to a properly
grounded circuit.
• Radio Frequency Emissions. A filter is available
for machines in installations where floor space is
shared with equipment sensitive to radio
frequency emissions.
Do not bypass any safety devices in machine.
• Elevation. If 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

performance will be realized if steam is provided
at a pressure of 30 – 80 psi (2 – 5.4 bar). Steam
pressure higher than 125 psi (8.5 bar) may result
in damage to steam components and may cause
personal injury.
SW002
• Water Damage. Do not spray machine with
water. Short circuiting and serious damage may
result. Repair immediately all seepage due to
worn or damaged gaskets, etc.
For machines equipped with optional steam heat,
install piping in accordance with approved
commercial steam practices. Failure to install
supplied steam filter may void warranty.
Machine Location
• Foundation. The concrete floor must be of
sufficient strength and thickness to handle floor
loads generated by high extract speeds of
machine.
• Drainage System. Provide drain lines or troughs
large enough to accommodate total number of
gallons that could be released if all machines on
site drained at same time from highest attainable
level. If troughs are used, they should be covered
to support light foot traffic.
• Service/Maintenance Space. Provide sufficient
space to allow comfortable performance of
service procedures and routine preventive
maintenance.
• Power. For personal safety and for proper
operation, machine must be grounded in
accordance with state and local codes. Ground
connection must be to a proven earth ground, not
to conduit or water pipes. Do not use fuses in
place of circuit breaker. An easy-access cutoff
switch should also be provided.

manufacturer’s warranty. Locate pump below
washer-extractor’s injection point to prevent
siphoning of chemicals into machine.
• Rub in direction of polish lines or “grain” of
stainless steel to avoid scratch marks when using
abrasive cleaners. Use stainless steel wool or soft,
non-metal bristle brushes. Do not use ordinary
steel wool or steel brushes.
• If stainless steel appears to be rusting the source
of the rust may actually be an iron or steel part
not made of stainless steel, such as a nail or
screw. Tip: Paint all carbon steel parts with a
heavy protective coating. Stainless steel fasteners
should be used whenever possible.
• Remove discoloration or heat tint from
overheating by scouring with a powder or by
employing special chemical solutions.
