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.

F232227

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. 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.

Introduction

The “A” electronic control is composed of the electronic control unit and the output board with wiring harness. Only an authorized person should service components inside the machine. TURN OFF POWER, open lid and remove any cover present.

Electronic Control Unit

This portion of the control contains the “intelligence” – the micro-controller and the miscellaneous components on the printed circuit (PC) board. The board has a metal cover, which MUST be in place at all times during machine operation. Operation of the machine without this cover installed will void the warranty.

The control unit monitors and responds to input, gives information about the status of the washer and monitors and responds to inputs from the user interface (keypad). The control provides signals to the control output unit, which in turn operates the components that control the machine functions. This is located behind the machine control panel.

Control Output Fuse Board

This portion of the control contains the power supply for the control unit, and also the switching devices which power the components in the machine, all of which are on the output PC board. The switching devices are controlled by the control unit, and are solid state.

Harnessing

Wiring harnesses are modular – harnesses common to various configurations are similar, while those specific to a certain configuration can be added. There are harnesses for inputs to the control unit, for outputs from the control power/output unit to the machine components, and for the main incoming power to the control power/output unit.

Delivery Inspection

Upon delivery, visually inspect crate, protective cover, and unit for any visible shipping damage. If the crate, protective cover, or unit is damaged or signs of possible damage are evident, have the carrier note the condition on the shipping papers before the shipping receipt is signed, or advise the carrier of the condition as soon as it is discovered.

Remove the crate and protective cover as soon after delivery as possible. If any damage is discovered upon removal of the crate and/or protective cover, advise the carrier and file a written claim immediately.
