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.
Important Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Install the washer according the
INSTALLATION instructions. Refer to the
EARTHING (grounding) instructions in the
INSTALLATION manual for the proper earthing
(grounding) of the washer. All connections for
water, drain, electrical power and earthing
(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.
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.
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.

Safety Information
7. 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.
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.
17. Do not operate the machine without the water
reuse plug or water reuse system in place, if
applicable.
18. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.
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 10 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.
23. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
14. 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.
15. Be aware that hot water is used to flush the
supply dispenser. Avoid opening the dispenser lid
while the machine is running.
16. Do not attach anything to the supply dispenser’s
nozzles, if applicable. The air gap must be
maintained.
24. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this

CAPACITY MODELS
To prevent damage during transportation, the machine
has been equipped with four red transport brackets
(refer to Figure 9 for 12 lb. (60 l), 14 lb. (65 l), 18 lb.
(75 l), 25 lb. (100 l), 30 lb. (135 l) and 35 lb. (165 l)
capacity models; refer to Figure 10 for 55 lb. (235 l)
and 75 lb. (305 l) capacity models [depending on
model number]) to eliminate every possible movement
of the tub.
After the machine has been placed level, take off the
service panels and the back panel to remove these
transport brackets.
For 12 lb. (60 l), 14 lb. (65 l), 18 lb. (75 l), 25 lb.
(100 l), 30 lb. (135 l) and 35 lb. (165 l) capacity
models, remove the panel braces. Refer to Figure 9.
A drain system of adequate capacity is essential to
machine performance.
The water should empty through a vented pipe directly
into a sump or floor drain.
Figure 11 shows drain line and drain trough
configurations.
A flexible connection must be made to a vented or air
gap drain system to prevent an air lock and siphoning.
If proper drain size is not available or practical, a surge
tank is required. A surge tank along with with a sump
pump should be used when gravity drainage is not
possible.
IMPORTANT: Machine must be installed in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Before any deviation from specified installation
procedures is attempted, the customer or installer
should contact the distributor.
Increasing the drain hose length, installing elbows, or
causing bends will impair machine performance.
Refer to Tab l e 9 for capacity-specific drain
information.
NOTE: Installation of additional machines will
require proportionately larger drain connections.
Refer to Tab l e 10 .

3Drain Pipe
41-Inch Minimum Waste Line Air Gap
To connect water service to machine with rubber
hoses, use the following procedure:
1. Before installing hoses, flush the water system
for at least two minutes.
2. Check filters in the machine’s inlet hoses for
proper fit and cleanliness before connecting.
3. Hang the hoses in a large loop, do not allow them
to kink.
If additional hose length is needed, flexible hoses with
screen filters are required. Each hose should have a
screen filter installed to keep rust and other foreign
particles out of the water inlet valves.
Pressure of 30-85 psi (2-5.7 bar) provides best
performance. Although the machine will function at
lower pressures, increased fill times will occur with
some loss of supply flushing.
Suitable air cushions (risers) should be installed in
supply lines to prevent “hammering.”
Before starting wiring or inspection,
power must be switched OFF. Check to
make sure that the operation panel
indicator is OFF. Any person who is
involved in wiring or inspection shall wait
for at least 10 minutes after the power
supply has been switched OFF and check
that there are no residual voltage using a
tester or the like. The capacitor of the
inverter or the EMC filter is charged with
high voltage for some time after power is
OFF and it is dangerous.

Electrical Installation
IMPORTANT: Electrical ratings are subject to
change. Refer to serial decal for electrical ratings
information specific to your machine.
IMPORTANT: Alliance Laundry Systems
warranty does not cover compounds that fail as a
result of improper input voltage.
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 other 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 CEapproved equipment.
Use wire sizes indicated in Tab le 12 for runs up to
50 feet.
Use next larger size for runs of 50 to 100 feet. Use two
sizes larger for runs greater than 100 feet.
The AC inverter drive requires a clean power supply
free from voltage spikes and surges. A voltage monitor
should be used to check incoming power. The
customer’s local power company may provide such a
monitor.
If input voltage measures above 240V for a 220V
drive or above 415V 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.
The AC drive provides overload protection for the
drive motor. However, a separate single or three phase
circuit breaker must be installed for complete
electrical overload protection. This prevents damage
to the motor by disconnecting all legs if one should be
lost accidentally. Check the data plate on the back of
the machine or consult Tab l e 12 for circuit breaker
requirements.
For personal safety and proper operation, the machine
must be grounded in accordance with state and local
codes. If such codes are not available, grounding must
conform with the National Electric Code, article 250
(current edition). The ground connection must be
made to a proven earth ground, not to conduit or water
pipes.
Connect 200-240V single phase (1AC) to the
connectors “N” and “L1”. The green/yellow
grounding clamp has to be the grounding wire “PE”.
