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 .
machine will freeze at temperatures of
32° F 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

Water in the
periodically. Louvers, screens, or other
separating devices may reduce the
available air opening significantly.
•
Radio Frequency Emissions .
available for machines in installations
where floor space is shared with
equipment sensitive to radio frequency
emissions.
•
. If the machine is to be operated
Elevation
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.
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.
•
Water Damage
with water. Short circuiting and serious
damage may result. Repair immediately
all seepage due to worn or damaged
gaskets, etc.
