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.

W691
WARNING
Electrical Installation Requirements
IMPORTANT: Electrical ratings are subject to
change. Refer to serial decal for electrical ratings
information specific to your machine.
The AC inverter drive requires a clean power supply
free from voltage spikes and surges. Use a voltage
monitor to check incoming power.
If input voltage measures above 230V for a 200V
drive or above 460V for a 400V drive, ask the power
company to lower the voltage. As an alternative, a
step-down transformer kit is available from the
distributor. Voltages above 240 and 480 require
additional measures. Contact a qualifiied electrical
maintenance person for assistance.
Electrical connections are made at the rear of the
machine. The machine must be connected to the
proper electrical supply shown on the identification
plate attached to the side of the control module.
IMPORTANT: Alliance Laundry Systems
warranty does not cover components that fail as a
result of improper input voltage.
Do not use a phase adder on any variablespeed machine.
SW037
CAUTION
Failure to provide this equipment with a
proper proven earth ground may result in
a severe shock hazard and may increase
EMI emissions.
W708
WARNING
The AC drive provides thermal overload protection for
the drive motor. However, a separate circuit breaker or
electrical supply disconnecting device must be
installed for complete electrical overload protection.
This prevents damage to the AC drive by
disconnecting all legs if one should be lost
accidentally.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use fuses in place of a
circuit breaker.
The machine should be connected to an individual
branch circuit not shared with lighting or other
equipment.
The connection should be shielded in a liquid-tight or
approved flexible conduit with proper conductors of
correct size installed in accordance with the National
electric Code or with applicable codes. The connection
must be made by a qualified electrician using the
wiring diagram provided with the machine or
according to accepted European standards for
machines labeled with the CE mark.
Use wire sizes indicated in Table 15 for runs up to
50 feet (15.24 meters). Use next larger size for runs of
50 to 100 feet (15.24 to 30.48 meters). Use 2 sizes
larger for runs greater than 100 feet (30.48 meters).
For personal safety and for proper operation, the
machine must be grounded in accordance with local
codes. If such codes are not available, grounding must
conform with the National Electric Code, article
205-95 or accepted European standards for machines
labeled with the CE mark. The ground connection
must be made to a proven earth ground, not to conduit
or water pipes.
Circuit Breakers
The machines are to be connected to individual
common trip circuit breakers. Use only UL 489 rated
circuit breakers. Fuses are not to be used in any
installations. (Fuses may fail separately causing a
single-phase voltage condition.) A single-phase
condition will cause the other lines to have a
considerable change in current draw suddenly, which
may cause the inverter to fail. Do not install more than
one machine per breaker and do not install any other
equipment on the breaker supplying the machine. If
there is a “stinger” leg (also known as high leg, red
leg, etc.) it must be connected to L3 of the terminal
block of the machine. A line reactor is highly
recommended.
Grounding
All equipment should be grounded with a proven earth
ground. Do not use water pipes or electrical conduit as
an earth ground path. All grounding and wiring must
conform to local and national electrical codes.
Wire Size
Wire size must meet or exceed all codes for breaker
size.
Use either SO type cord or flex conduit with stranded
copper conductors of prescribed size for power supply
between machine and wall. Because this machine
vibrates in normal operation, hard conduit may
become loose and cause wire abrasion and solid
conductor wires may break during normal operation
on vibrating machines.
NOTE: Wire-size based on: NFPA 70 (NEC), Table 310.16, 75°C Column. No more than three current carrying
conductors per raceway. Use copper conductors only. Use circuit breakers only. Do not use fuses. Suggested breaker
size based on NFPA 70, Section 240.6. Contact local authority having jurisdiction for additional information. Local
electrical codes supersede all suggestions of this table. Follow all local electrical codes. Local is defined as place of
machine installation.
After electrical service feeder has been installed and
electrical service voltage verified by a volt meter,
follow this procedure to connect service to the
equipment.
1. Remove screw securing electrical service
connection panel and remove panel from
machine.
2. Install an appropriate strain relief or conduit

1. Verify door lock system works properly. Do this
by checking if machine starts a cycle with
loading door open or loading door can be opened
while machine is in operation.
2. Verify machine does not move or vibrate
excessively. Do this by loading machine with a
small load of laundry (about half capacity) and
running a program with a high-speed extract. The
machine should be reasonably quiet and still
during the extract.
The PS40’s fault codes indicate
potentially hazardous operating
conditions. If a Fault occurs the machine
should be shut off and locked out until a
service technician can repair the machine.

are present.
•Do not allow salty or acidic solutions to
evaporate and dry on stainless steel. Wipe clean
of any residues.
•Rub in direction of polish lines or “grain” of
stainless steel to avoid scratch marks when using
abrasive cleaners. Use stainless steel wool or
soft, non-metal bristle brushes. Do not use
ordinary steel wool or steel brushes.
•Remove discoloration or heat tint from
overheating by scouring with a powder or by
employing special chemical solutions.
•Do not leave sanitizers or sterilizing solutions on
stainless steel equipment for prolonged periods
of time.
•When an external chemical supply is used,
ensure no siphoning of chemicals occurs when
machine is not in use. Highly concentrated
chemicals can cause severe damage to stainless
steel and other components with machine.
Damage of this kind is not covered by
manufacturer’s warranty. Locate pump below
machine’s injection point to prevent siphoning of
