Safety Information  
Precautionary statements (DANGER,”  
Important Safety Instructions  
WARNING,and CAUTION), followed by  
specific instructions, are found in this manual and on  
machine decals. These 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:  
DANGER  
W023E  
DANGER indicates the presence of a  
hazard that will cause severe personal  
injury, death, or substantial property  
damage if the danger is ignored.  
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.  
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

injury, death, or substantial property  
damage if the warning is ignored.  
flammable or explosive substances as they give  
off vapors that could ignite or explode.  
4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or  
other flammable or explosive substances to the  
wash water. These substances give off vapors that  
could ignite or explode.  
CAUTION  
5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be  
produced in a hot water system that has not been

IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not  
been used for such a period, before using a  
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,  
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water  
flow from each for several minutes. This will  
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is  
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame  
during this time.  
CAUTION indicates the presence of a  
hazard that will or can cause minor  
personal injury or property damage if the  
caution is ignored.  
Additional precautionary statements (IMPORTANT”  
and NOTE) are followed by specific instructions.  
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used  
to inform the reader of specific procedures where  
minor machine damage will occur if the procedure  
is not followed.  
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.  
Close supervision of children is necessary when  
the washer is used near children. This is a safety  
rule for all appliances.  
NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate  
installation, operation, maintenance or servicing  
information that is important but not hazard  
related.  
7. Before the washer is removed from service or  
discarded, remove the door to the washing  
compartment.  
8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is  
moving.

Installation  
A base designed to elevate the UW50 to a comfortable  
and more accessible height for loading and unloading  
laundry may be used. Care must be exercised in the  
design of such a base due to the force exerted by the  
machine during extract (222 Gs).  
Machine Foundation  
The machine must be secured to a foundation or floor  
of adequate construction. Detail must be stressed with  
all foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation,  
eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration. The  
machine must be anchored to a smooth level surface so  
that the entire base of the machine is supported and  
rests on the mounting surface. Do not support the  
machine on only four points. Anchor bolts must be a  
minimum of 3/4 inch diameter, grade 2. Refer to  
Mechanical Installation.  
Static and dynamic loads on the floor or foundation are  
shown in Table 2. This table can be used as a reference  
when designing floors and foundations.  
NOTE: Machine must be installed on concrete floor  
that is a minimum of 12 inches thick. Do not mount  
on wooden floors. Do not install above ground floor.  
Floor must be solid.

approximately 5 feet square and excavate to a depth of  
36 inches from top of existing floor. Slope the edges of  
the hole outwards so that the hole is pyramid shaped.  
Excavate under existing floor 5 inches beyond the

Make sure that the bolt threads extend 2 inches above  
the floor level.  
After the foundation for the machine has been  
prepared and the concrete has cured, proceed as  
follows:  
1. Place the machine adjacent to the foundation. Do  
not attempt to move the machine by pushing on  
the sides. Always use a pry bar or other device at  
the bottom of the machine. Remove the wood  
skid.

Installation  
Drain Connection  
Providing an adequate drain arrangement and capacity  
is essential. Ideally, the machine should dump through  
a 3 inch pipe directly into a sump or floor drain.  
11.63 in.  
(295 mm)  
Connection to a drain must be vented to prevent an air-  
lock or siphon effect and must be flexible. Increasing  
drain hose length, installing elbows or causing bends  
will decrease drain flow rate which might harm washer  
performance. If the drain arrangement is inadequate,  
the machine will not extract properly nor will it  
discharge all the water. If proper drain line size is not  
available or practical, a surge tank of adequate design  
would be required.

Installation  
Each of the hoses should have a screen filter installed  
to keep rust and other foreign particles out of the  
solenoid valves. These connections should be supplied  
by a hot and a cold water line at least 3/4 inch size for  
each. Installation of additional washers will require  
proportionately larger water lines. Refer to Table 3.  
Suitable air cushions should be installed in supply  
lines to prevent hammering.If the water pressure is  
above 60 psi, flexible copper tubing should be used in  
place of the rubber hoses.  
Water Connection  
Separate hot and cold plumbing lines (3/4 inch pipe or  
larger) with individual shut-off valves must be  
provided. Hot water should be a minimum of 160°F.  
Best performance will be realized if water is provided  
at a pressure of 30-85 psi. Although the machine will  
function properly at a lower pressure, excessive fill  
times will occur.  
Use flexible hoses or equivalent flexible lines. The  
hoses should hang in a large loop. Do not allow to  
kink.

Maintenance  
5. Salty or acidic solutions should not be allowed to  
evaporate and dry on stainless steel. They may  
cause corrosion. Wash off the solution after  
using.  
Care and Maintenance of Stainless  
Steel  
The following points on the care and maintenance of  
stainless steel surfaces should be observed in order to  
maintain the natural beauty and prolong its service  
life.  
6. Permanent direct contact with other materials,  
such as wood or carbon steel, should be avoided.  
7. Sanitizers or sterilizing solutions should not be  
left in stainless steel equipment for prolonged  
periods of time. These solutions often contain  
chlorine which may cause pitting corrosion. The  
stainless should be cleaned and rinsed thoroughly  
after using.  
1. Cleanliness is of utmost importance. Common  
deposits of dirt and grease can be quickly  
removed with a detergent and water solution.  
Whenever possible, the metal should be  
thoroughly rinsed and dried after washing.  
Periodic cleaning will maintain the bright surface  
appearance and help prevent corrosion.  
8. Rust appearing on stainless steel sometimes leads  
to the belief that the stainless is rusting. The  
source of the rust may actually be some iron or  
steel part not made of stainless, such as a nail or  
screw. One remedy is to paint all carbon steel  
parts with a heavy protective coating. Stainless  
steel fasteners should be employed whenever  
possible.  
2. Deposits that adhere to the surface of the  
stainless steel should be removed especially from  
crevices and corners. When using abrasive  
cleaners, always rub in the direction of the polish  
lines or grainof the stainless steel to avoid  
scratch marks showing. Never use ordinary steel  
wool or steel brushes on stainless steel. Iron  
particles from steel wool and brushes made of  
carbon steel may become imbedded in the  
surface, causing rust. Use stainless steel wool or  
soft non-metal bristle brushes.  
CAUTION  
Follow the manufacturers advice  
whenever cleaning agents or other  
chemicals are used, inside or outside the  
machine. Some cleaners may be
