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

Safety Information
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.
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.
This manual is designed as a guide for the installation
of a washer-extractor equipped with DirectDrive.

87. Press Enter to continue.
NOTE: To obtain same extract performance in
different sized machines, extract speeds are
commonly expressed in “G’s”. For example, a very
large machine spinning at 500 RPM will remove
more water than a small machine spinning at the
same RPM. However, if a large machine spins at 80
G’s it will perform the same as a small machine
spinning at 80 G’s. For this reason it is convenient
to program extracts in G’s so when programs are
transferred to machines of different sizes, the same
extract results will be obtained.
NOTE: All washer-extractors rotate counter
clockwise in extract step.
NOTE: When SmartSpin is selected in extract step,
the machine uses a process to determine the
amount that the cylinder is out of balance. The
maximum safe spin speed for that load is
calculated, allowing the machine to spin as high as
300 G’s. This ground breaking feature is a powerful
tool for processing textiles like towels or sheets that
need to be as dry as possible. More water is
removed at higher extract speeds so they spend less
time in dryer.
88. Display shows “dX”.
NOTE: If “no SPin” was selected in Step 89, “d0”
will be added and programming will proceed to
“dt XXX”.
89. Use Temperature button to select from “d1”

Table 8
Alarm codes are used to alert operator to problems
with machine’s performance. However, because
alarms do not indicate safety problems, they do not
interrupt operation of machine. When an alarm occurs,
control will flash code on Program Number/Alarm
display (refer to Figure 2) to get operator’s attention.
Operator should make note of this code and report it to
a technician so issue can be resolved. Note that all
alarm codes are composed of the letter “A” followed
by a code reference number.
Fault codes indicate safety issues, which may cause
operator injury or property loss. Thus, when an alarm
occurs, control will lock out machine’s operation until
power has been cycled and a technician corrects
problem. Note that all fault codes are composed of
letter “F” followed by a code reference number.

Programming Tips
•Avoid using spins after wash program segments.
This can cause suspended soil to be redeposited
in fabric before it can be rinsed out.
•For optimum agitation, program wash speed at
0.8 G’s (ex. 42 RPM in 60 pound, 38 RPM in 80/
100 pound) for machine. This will give best drop
in cylinder and best soil removal.
•Use SmartSpin in programs for processing cotton
and other sturdy goods that can take higher
extract forces. This will reduce drying time and
energy consumption.
•High spin speeds (> 80 G’s) can set wrinkles in
goods made of Visa and some other synthetic
materials.
•For processing non-porous rubber mats, try a
long “JoLt” drain period instead of a final
extract. Jolt routine alternates short spin and
tumble segments and will effectively remove
water from non-porous goods because they are
continuously rearranged, freeing water trapped in
pockets.
