Safety Information

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.

DANGER

DANGER indicates the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the danger is ignored.

WARNING

WARNING indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow these basic precautions:

W023

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the washer.

3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, drycleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if the caution is ignored.

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.

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. 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 is a safety rule for all appliances.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is moving.

F232137

Page 7

Safety Information

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

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. Use washer only for its intended purpose, washing textiles.

14. Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in the machine. This could result in serious damage to the basket.

15. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

16. Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required.

17. To reduce the risk of fire, textiles which have traces of any flammable substances such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer. These flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

18. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

21. 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.

22. 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.

23. 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).

24. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the textile manufacturer.

25. Never operate the washer with any guards and/or panels removed.

26. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or broken parts.

27. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.

28. 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.

Maintenance

Weekly

1. For variable-speed models only, clean the AC drive box filter(s) weekly or more frequently as needed:

NOTE: If fan filter service indicator light is on, fan filter must be cleaned immediately to prevent possible damage. Thermostat automatically resets after drive compartment cools down. LED will then extinguish after cycle run.

NOTE: If filter indicator is ignored, repeated resets might shorten life of drive. Clean filter regularly to avoid indicator prompt.

a. Open the top cover.

b. Grasp the filter handle and pull straight up to

remove filter.

c. Wash the filter with warm water and allow

filter to air-dry. As an alternative, the filter may be vacuumed clean.

IMPORTANT: The control module cover and fan filter must be in place for the fan to properly cool the AC inverter drive. Failure to observe this warning will void the warranty and could lead to expensive AC inverter drive repair.

Monthly

NOTE: Disconnect power to the machine at its source before performing the monthly maintenance procedures.

1. Use the following procedures to determine if V-belt(s) require replacement or adjustment. Call a qualified service technician in either case.

a. Check V-belt(s) for uneven wear and frayed

edges.

d. For variable-speed models only, verify that

V-belts are properly tensioned by applying a set force to the belt and measuring the deflection to determine the belt tension. Refer to Tab l e 7 for the acceptable belt tension ranges. Belt tension measurements should be taken as close to the center of the belt span as possible. Refer to Figure 11.

NOTE: Hoses and other natural rubber parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the temperature and constant high pressure they are subjected to.

2. Check all hoses for any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing signs of deterioration listed above should be replaced immediately.

NOTE: All hoses should be replaced every five years.

b. Pump the grease gun slowly, permitting only

the following number of strokes:

● Bearing grease fitting, two strokes

● Seal grease fitting, one stroke

NOTE: Do not pump the grease gun until grease comes out of the bearing housing. This can result in overlubrication, causing damage to bearings and seals.

a. Turn water off and allow valve to cool, if

necessary.

b. Unscrew inlet hose and remove filter screen.

c. Clean with soapy water and reinstall. Replace

if worn or damaged.

7. Tighten motor mounting bolt locknuts and bearing bolt locknuts, if necessary.

8. Use compressed air to clean lint from motor.

9. Clean interior of machine, both basket and shell, by wiping with a water-soaked sponge or cloth.

10. Use compressed air to ensure that all electrical components are free of moisture and dust.

11. Verify the insulation is intact on all external wires and that all connections are secure. If bare wire is evident, call a service technician.

Quarterly

NOTE: Disconnect power to the machine at its source before performing the quarterly maintenance procedures.

1. Tighten door hinges and fasteners, if necessary.

2. Using a Teflon-based spray lube, lubricate the door lock by applying the spray to the door lock pin while turning the door handle.

3. Tighten anchor bolts, if necessary.

4. Verify that the drain motor shield is in place and secure.

5. Check all painted surfaces for exposed metal. (Matching paint is available from the manufacturer.)

● If bare metal is showing, paint with primer or

solvent-based paint.

● If rust appears, remove it with sandpaper or by

chemical means and paint with primer or solvent-based paint.

12. For variable-speed models only, clean AC drive

cooling fan blades monthly (more often if required by the condition of the air).

a. Open the top cover and remove the control

module cover.

b. Gently wipe the fan blades clean with a dry

cloth.

Care of Stainless Steel

● Remove dirt and grease with detergent and water.

Thoroughly rinse and dry after washing.

● Avoid contact with dissimilar metals to prevent

galvanic corrosion when salty or acidic solutions are present.

● Do not allow salty or acidic solutions to

evaporate and dry on stainless steel. Wipe clean of any residues.

● Rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”

of the 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.

● If the stainless steel appears to be rusting, the

source of the rust may actually be an iron or steel part not made of stainless steel, such as a nail or screw. Tip: Paint all carbon steel parts with a heavy protective coating. Stainless steel fasteners should be used whenever possible.

● Remove discoloration or heat tint from

overheating by scouring with a powder or by employing special chemical solutions.

● Do not leave 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 the washer-extractor is not in use. Highly concentrated chemicals can cause severe damage to stainless steel and other components with the machine. Damage of this kind is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Locate the pump below the washer-extractor’s injection point to prevent siphoning of chemicals into the machine.
