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 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.
Water Damage
. Do not spray the machine 
with water. Short circuiting and serious 
damage may result. Repair immediately all 
seepage due to faulty gaskets, etc.
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.
