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. 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.
3. Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
4. 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.
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. 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.

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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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).
12. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
13. Always follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the textile manufacturer.
14. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

19. 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.
20. DANGER: Before inspecting or servicing
machine, power supply must be turned OFF. The
servicer needs to wait for at least 3 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.
21. 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.
22. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug,
not the cord. Replace worn power cords and/or
loose plugs. If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special cord or assembly
available from the service agent.

External Supplies
For proper communication between the washerextractor and an external chemical supply system, it is
important for the low-voltage signal power to be
connected properly. The included wiring diagram
(F8133502) 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 washerextractor is to use the 300mA power of the washerextractor’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 highvoltage machine supply connections or source be used
for the communication wiring.

Basically, wash-cycle signals are provided to the
external chemical supply equipment and a “wait for
the next step” signal can be received from the supply
equipment. Communication wiring connections,
which include a single row of identified terminal
blocks, can be found under a service panel at the upper
back of the machine.
1. Use the Internal 24VAC 300 Control
Transformer (Recommended by Alliance
Laundry Systems)
There are 3 terminals necessary for this
connection option. Terminal “24VAC COM” is
used to connect 1 side of the internal control
transformer to the external dispenser input
signals common. The second terminal is used to
connect the other side of the control transformer
to the washer-extractor output signals common
through a red jumper wire between “24VAC” and
“RELAY COM”. Do not use the transformer
terminals if an external power supply is used.

2. Use an External AC Power Source (Not
Provided by Alliance Laundry Systems)
NOTE: Power for external supplies must not be
derived from the high-voltage main power
connection point.
The external power must supply power of
240VAC or less and be protected at 3 Amps or
less. Remove the red jumper wire installed by the
factory between “24VAC” and “RELAY COM”.
Connect 1 side of the external power to the
“RELAY COM” and the other to the external
dispenser input signals common.
Do not attempt to increase fuse rating or
alter wiring of external chemical supply
terminal strip in such as way that may
conflict with the suggested methods
provided on the Optional External Supply
Wiring Diagram.
