To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer,
follow these basic precautions:
W023
•Read all instructions before using the washer.
•Install the washer according the INSTALLATION instructions. Refer to the GROUNDING instructions in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and
grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. It is recommended that the
machine be installed by qualified technicians.
•Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather.
•To prevent fire and explosion, keep the area around machine
free from flammable and combustible products. Do not add
the following substances or textiles containing traces of the
following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene,
waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners, or other flammable or explosive substances. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch fire by
itself.
•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.
•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.
•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 appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
•DO NOT reach and/or climb into the tub or onto the washer,
ESPECIALLY if the wash drum is moving. This is an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will cause severe personal injury or death.
•Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts
removed or broken. DO NOT bypass any safety devices or
tamper with the controls.
•Use washer only for its intended purpose, washing textiles.
Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in the machine. This could result in serious damage to the basket or
tub.
•Use only low-sudsing, no-foaming types of commercial detergent. Be aware that hazardous chemicals may be present.
Wear hand and eye protection when adding detergents and
chemicals. 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].
•Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
•Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the textile manufacturer.
•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. Do not attempt to open the door until the washer has
drained and all moving parts have stopped.
•Be aware that hot water is used to flush the supply dispenser.
Avoid opening the dispenser lid while the machine is running.
•Do not attach anything to the supply dispenser’s nozzles, if
applicable. The air gap must be maintained.
•Do not operate the machine without the water reuse plug or
water reuse system in place, if applicable.
•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.
•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.
•DANGER: Before inspecting or servicing machine, power
supply must be turned OFF. The servicer needs to wait for at
least 5 minutes after turning the power OFF and needs to
check for residual voltage with a voltage meter. The inverter
capacitor or EMC filter remains charged with high voltage for
some time after powering OFF. This is an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will cause severe personal
injury or death.
•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. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical, power and water supplies before attempting any service.
•Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or by
unplugging the machine. Replace worn power cords.
•Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
•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.

External Supplies
For proper communication between the machine and an external
chemical supply system, it is important for the low-voltage signal
power to be connected properly. The included wiring diagram
shows several different options for safe and correct wiring of this
interface.
The preferred method for connecting the wiring from the external
chemical supply system to the machine is to use the 300mA power of the machine’s 24VAC control transformer, which is intended strictly for this purpose. Other voltage and current options
are available, but require some wiring changes and must be provided with an external power source. Under no circumstances
should the high-voltage machine supply connections or source be
used for the communication wiring.
