Operator Safety
To ensure the safety of machine operators, the
following maintenance checks must be performed
daily:
1. Prior to operating 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
machine:
a. Attempt to start machine with door open.
Machine should not start with door open.
b. Close door without locking it and attempt to
start machine. Machine should not start with
door unlocked.
c. Close and lock door and start a cycle. Attempt
to open door while cycle is in progress. Door
should not open.
If door lock and interlock are not functioning
properly, call a service technician.
3. Do not attempt to operate machine if any of the
following conditions are present:
a. Door does not remain securely locked during
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 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
manufacturer immediately.
Environmental Conditions
• Ambient Temperature. Water in 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 machine’s electronics or motors to
malfunction or may trip ground fault interrupter.
Corrosion problems may occur on some metal
components in machine.
• If 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 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 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 machine is to be operated at
elevations of over 3280 feet (1000 m) 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.

WARNING
Never operate the machine with a
bypassed or disconnected balance
system. Operating the machine with
severe out-of-balance loads could result
in personal injury and serious equipment
damage.
