Safety Information

Explanation of Safety Messages

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.

DANGER indicates the presence of a

hazard that will cause severe personal

injury, death, or substantial property

damage if the danger is ignored.

DANGER

WARNING indicates the presence of a

hazard that can cause severe personal

injury, death, or substantial property

damage if the warning is ignored.

WARNING

CAUTION indicates the presence of a

hazard that will or can cause minor

personal injury or property damage if the

caution is ignored.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons when

using your washer, follow these basic

precautions:

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or

attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in the user-maintenance

instructions or in published user-repair

instructions that the user understands and has the

skills to carry out.

12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO

NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to

connect the washer to the electrical power source.

13. Use washer only for its intended purpose,

washing textiles.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical

supply before attempting any service. Disconnect

the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

15. Install the washer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All

connections for water, drain, electrical power and

grounding must comply with local codes and be

made by licensed personnel when required.

16. To reduce the risk of fire, textiles which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,

flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything

containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and

cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.

These flammable substances may cause the

fabric to catch on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

18. Keep washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage safety features.

If this occurs, have washer checked by a qualified

service person.

19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT

bypass the loading door switch by permitting the

washer to operate with the loading door open.

22. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning

aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce

the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep

them out of the reach of children at all times

(preferably in a locked cabinet).

23. Always follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the textile manufacturer.

24. Never operate the washer with any guards

and/or panels removed.

25. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or

broken parts.

26. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.

27. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this

washer according to the manufacturer’s

instructions may result in conditions which can

produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNINGS and IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this

manual are not meant to cover all possible

conditions and situations that may occur. Common

sense, caution and care must be exercised when

installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.

Any problems or conditions not understood should be

reported to the dealer, distributor, service agent or the

manufacturer.

Introduction

The “A” electronic control is composed of the

electronic control unit and the output board with

wiring harness. Only an authorized person should

service components inside the machine. TURN OFF

POWER, open lid and remove any cover present.

Electronic Control Unit

This portion of the control contains the “intelligence” –

the micro-controller and the miscellaneous components

on the printed circuit (PC) board. The board has a

metal cover, which MUST be in place at all times

during machine operation. Operation of the machine

without this cover installed will void the warranty.

The control unit monitors and responds to input, gives

information about the status of the washer and

monitors and responds to inputs from the user

interface (keypad). The control provides signals to the

control output unit, which in turn operates the

components that control the machine functions. This is

located behind the machine control panel.

Control Output Fuse Board

This portion of the control contains the power supply

for the control unit, and also the switching devices

which power the components in the machine, all of

which are on the output PC board. The switching

devices are controlled by the control unit, and are solid

state.

Harnessing

Wiring harnesses are modular – harnesses common to

various configurations are similar, while those specific

to a certain configuration can be added. There are

harnesses for inputs to the control unit, for outputs

from the control power/output unit to the machine

components, and for the main incoming power to the

control power/output unit.

Delivery Inspection

Upon delivery, visually inspect crate, protective cover,

and unit for any visible shipping damage. If the crate,

protective cover, or unit is damaged or signs of

possible damage are evident, have the carrier note the

condition on the shipping papers before the shipping

receipt is signed, or advise the carrier of the condition

as soon as it is discovered.

Remove the crate and protective cover as soon after

delivery as possible. If any damage is discovered upon

removal of the crate and/or protective cover, advise the

carrier and file a written claim immediately.
