NOTICE TO: OWNERS, OPERATORS AND DEALERS OF WASCOMAT MACHINES
IMPROPER INSTALLATION AND INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE, POOR HOUSEKEEPING AND WILLFUL
NEGLECT OR BYPASSING OF SAFETY DEVICES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR INJURY.
TO ASSURE THE SAFETY OF CUSTOMERS AND/OR OPERATORS OF YOUR MACHINE, THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE CHECKS MUST BE PERFORMED ON A DAILY BASIS.
1. Prior to operation of the machine, check to make certain that all operating instructions and
warning signs are affixed to the machine and legible. (See the following page of this manual
for description and location of the signs.) Missing or illegible ones must be replaced immediately. Be sure you have spare signs and labels available at all times. These can be
obtained from your dealer or Wascomat.
2. Check the door safety interlock, as follows:
(a) OPEN THE DOOR of the machine and attempt to start in the normal manner:
For coin-operated models, select a program, insert the proper coins and press the
START button.
For manually operated models, select a cycle and press the START button.
THE MACHINE(S) SHOULD NOT START !
(b) CLOSE THE DOOR and press the START button. Now attempt to
open the door by turning the door handle. The door should remain locked!
If the machine can start with the door open, or can continue to operate with the
door unlocked, the door lock is no longer operating properly. The machine
must be placed out of order and the lock immediately replaced.
(See the door lock section of the manual.)
3. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO BYPASS OR REWIRE ANY OF
THE MACHINE SAFETY DEVICES AS THIS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
4. Be sure to keep the machine(s) in proper working order: Follow all maintenance and
safety procedures. Further information regarding machine safety, service and parts can be
obtained from your dealer or from Wascomat through its Teletech Service Hotline - (516)
371-0700.
All requests for assistance must include the model, serial number and electrical characteristics as
they appear on the machine identification plate at the top rear of the washer. Insert this information
in the space provided on the previous page of this manual. You can also find the serial number on
a sticker on the inside of the door.

INOPERATIVE! DO NOT OPEN MACHINE DOOR UNTIL DRUM HAS STOPPED ROTATING!
