WARNING

Maintenance
Instructions
WARNING
REV/O-OFF/FOR switch should be O-OFF
and machine unplugged before perform-
ing any maintenance.
Always wear safety glasses and other
appropriate protective equipment when
performing any maintenance.

Cleaning

It is good practice to use a towel to wipe dirt
and debris from the sheath as the cable as-
sembly is pulled from the drain and fed back
into the drum. This will help to keep the drum
clean and reduce the likelihood of the cable
assembly sticking in the drum. If needed,
cable assembly can be pulled from the ma-
chine and the housing opened for flushing/
cleaning.
Clean the machine as needed with hot soapy
water and/or mild disinfectants. Drain the ma-
chine as needed by opening the front cover
(See "Cable Assembly Replacement" step 2).
