Safety
F232048
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.
•
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 electronic
settings (particularly temperature)
or desired results may not
be achieved.
•
Chemicals
. Keep stainless steel
surfaces free of chemical residues.
•
Water Damage
.
Do not spray the
machine with water. Short circuiting
and serious damage may result.
Repair immediately all seepage due
to worn or damaged gaskets, etc.
Machine Location
•
Foundation
. The concrete floor must
be of sufficient strength and
thickness to handle the floor loads
generated by the high extract speeds
of the machine.
•
Service/Maintenance Space
. Provide
sufficient space to allow comfortable
performance of service procedures
and routine preventive maintenance.
Do not place volatile or flammable fluids
in any machine. Do not clean the machine
with volatile or flammable fluids such as
acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel reducers,
carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, benzene,
naptha, etc. Doing so could result in serious
personal injury and/or damage to
the machine.
