Safety
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 (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 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.
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 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.
Water Damage
. Do not spray the machine with
water. Short circuiting and serious damage may
result. Repair immediately all seepage due to
worn or damaged gaskets, etc.
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.
