Operator Safety
To ensure the safety of machine operators, the
following maintenance checks must be performed
daily:
1. Prior to operating the machine, verify that all
warning signs are present and legible. Missing or
illegible signs must be replaced immediately.
Make certain that spares are available.
2. Check door interlock before starting operation of
the machine:
a. Attempt to start the machine with the door
open. The machine should not start with the
door open.
b. Close the door without locking it and attempt
to start the machine. The machine should not
start with the door unlocked.
c. Close and lock the door and start a cycle.
Attempt to open the door while the cycle is in
progress. The door should not open.
If the door lock and interlock are not functioning
properly, call a service technician.
3. Do not attempt to operate the machine if any of
the following conditions are present:
a. The door does not remain securely locked
during the entire cycle.
b. Excessively high water level is evident.
c. Machine is not connected to a properly
grounded circuit.
Do not bypass any safety devices in the machine.
Safe Operating Environment
Safe operation requires an appropriate operating
environment for both the operator and the machine. If
questions regarding safety arise, contact the factory
immediately.
Environmental Conditions
●
Ambient Temperature
.
Water in the machine
will freeze at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or
below.
Temperatures above 120°F (50°C) will result in
more frequent motor overheating and, in some
cases, malfunction or premature damage to solid
state devices that are used in some models.
Special cooling devices may be necessary.
Water pressure switches are affected by increases
and decreases in temperature. Every 25°F (10°C)
change in temperature will have a 1% effect on
the water level.
●
Humidity
. Relative humidity above 90% may
cause the machine’s electronics or motors to
malfunction or may trip the ground fault
interrupter. Corrosion problems may occur on
some metal components in the machine.
If the relative humidity is below 30%, belts and
rubber hoses may eventually develop dry rot.
This condition can result in hose leaks, which
may cause safety hazards external to the machine
in conjunction with adjacent electrical
equipment.
●
Ventilation
. The need for make-up air openings
for such laundry room accessories as dryers,
ironers, water heaters, etc., must be evaluated
periodically. Louvers, screens, or other
separating devices may reduce the available air
opening significantly.
●
Radio Frequency Emissions
.
A filter is
available for machines in installations where
floor space is shared with equipment sensitive to
radio frequency emissions.
●
Elevation
.
If the machine is to be operated at
elevations of over 3,280 feet (1,000 meters)
above sea level, pay special attention to water
levels and electronic settings (particularly
temperature) or desired results may not be
achieved.
●
Chemicals
. Keep stainless steel surfaces free of
chemical residues.
NEVER insert hands or objects into basket
until it has completely stopped. Doing so
could result in serious injury.
SW012
WARNING
Never operate the machine with a
bypassed or disconnected out-of-balance
switch. Operating the machine with severe
out-of-balance loads could result in
personal injury and serious equipment
damage.
