Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “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.

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.

NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate

installation, operation, maintenance or servicing

information that is important but not hazard

related.

Important Safety Instructions

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

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-

cleaning solvents, or other 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.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS

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.

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.

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.

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 machine will

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.

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 machine’s electronics or motors to

malfunction or may trip ground fault interrupter.

Corrosion problems may occur on some metal

components in machine.

If 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 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 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 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.

NEVER insert hands or objects into

basket until it has completely stopped.

Doing so could result in serious injury.

SW012

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.

SW039

WARNING

Safety Information

F8112201

•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.

Machine Location

•Foundation. The concrete floor must be of

sufficient strength and thickness to handle floor

loads generated by high extract speeds of

machine.

•Service/Maintenance Space. Provide sufficient

space to allow comfortable performance of

service procedures and routine preventive

maintenance.

Consult installation instructions for specific details.

Input and Output Services

•Wat er Pressure. Best performance will be

realized if water is provided at a pressure of 30 –

85 psi (2 – 5.7 bar). Although machine will

function properly at lower pressure, increased fill

times will occur. Water pressure higher than 100

psi (6.7 bar) may result in damage to machine

plumbing. Component failure(s) and personal

injury could result.

•Steam Heat (Optional) Pressure. Best

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.

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.

•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.

•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.

Always disconnect power and water supplies before a

service technician performs any service procedure.

Where applicable, steam and/or compressed air

supplies should also be disconnected before service is

performed.

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

DANGER

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.

SW019

CAUTION

Ensure that a ground wire from a proven

earth ground is connected to the ground

lug near the input power block on this

machine. Without proper grounding,

personal injury from electric shock could

occur and machine malfunctions may be

evident.

SW008

WARNING

Safety Information

F8112201

DirectDrive

Machines equipped with DirectDrive require special

attention with regard to operating environment.

•An especially dusty or linty environment will

require more frequent cleaning of AC inverter

drive cooling fan filter and of AC inverter drive

itself.

•Power line fluctuations from sources such as

uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can

adversely affect machines equipped with AC

inverter drive. Proper suppression devices should

be utilized on incoming power to machine to

avoid problems.

•A clean power supply free from voltage spikes

and surges is absolutely essential for machines

equipped with AC inverter drive. Inconsistencies

(peaks and valleys) in power supply can cause

AC inverter drive to generate nuisance errors.

If voltage is above 230 Volt for 200 Volt

installation or 460 Volt for 400 Volt installation,

ask power company to correct. As an alternative,

a step-down transformer kit is available from

distributor. If voltage is above 240 Volt for 200

Volt installation or 480 Volt for 400 Volt

installations, a buckboost transformer is required.

•Sufficient space to perform service procedures

and routine preventive maintenance is especially

important for machines equipped with AC

inverter drive.
