Safety Information

Explanation of Safety Messages

Throughout this manual and on machine decals, you will find precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING,” and “CAUTION”) followed by specific instructions. These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the machine.

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will cause severe personal injury or death.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could cause severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may cause minor or moderate personal injury or property damage.

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

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.

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. 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.

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

9002062 (EN)

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

3

Installation/Operation Supplement

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

15. 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.

16. 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.

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

18. 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.

19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

20. 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.

21. 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.

22. 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).

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

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

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

26. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.

27. 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.

Machine Foundation

Thoroughness of detail must be stressed with all foundation work to ensure a stable unit installation, eliminating possibilities of excessive vibration during extract.

CAUTION

Ensure that the machine is installed on a level floor of sufficient strength and that the recommended clearances for inspection and maintenance are provided. Never allow the inspection and maintenance space to be blocked.

W488

The washer-extractor must be placed on a smooth level surface so that the entire base of the machine is supported and rests on the mounting surface.

The standard installation does not require anchoring unless mandated by state or local codes.

Kinetic energy of the cylinder and dynamic loads on the floor or foundation are shown in Tab l e 2.

Tab l e 2 can be used as a reference when designing floors and foundations.

1 Base Frame 2 Bolt 3 Washer 4 Anchor Bolt/Plug

After the concrete has cured and the anchors are installed, proceed as follows:

1. Place the washer-extractor adjacent to the foundation. Do not attempt to move it by pushing on the sides. Always insert a pry bar or other device under the bottom of the frame of the washer-extractor to move it.

3

2. Place the washer-extractor carefully over the anchors.

3. Put bolts through the machine in the anchors and fasten them. The diameter of the bolt must be minimum 1/2-13 or 12 mm.To level machine, fill the spaces between the machine base and floor with machinery grout. Grout completely under all frame members. Remove front and rear panels to gain access to all frame members. Force grout under the machine base until all voids are filled.

4. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the machine to settle into the wet grout.

CFS485N

5. Position washers and locknuts on machinery anchor bolts and fingertighten to machine base.

6. After the grout is completely dry, tighten the locknuts by even increments – one after the other – until all are tightened evenly and the machine is fastened securely to the floor.
