Operating instructions

NOTICE TO: OWNERS, OPERATORS AND DEALERS OF WASCOMAT MACHINES

IMPROPER INSTALLATION AND INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE, POOR HOUSEKEEPING AND WILLFUL

NEGLECT OR BYPASSING OF SAFETY DEVICES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR INJURY.

TO ASSURE THE SAFETY OF CUSTOMERS AND/OR OPERATORS OF YOUR MACHINE, THE FOLLO-

WING MAINTENANCE CHECKS MUST BE PERFORMED ON A DAILY BASIS.

1. Prior to operation of the machine, check to make certain that all operating instructions and

warning signs are affixed to the machine and legible. (See the following page of this manual

for description and location of the signs.) Missing or illegible ones must be replaced imme-

diately. Be sure you have spare signs and labels available at all times. These can be obtai-

ned from your dealer or Wascomat.

2. Check the door safety interlock, as follows:

(a) OPEN THE DOOR of the machine and attempt to start in the normal manner:

For coin-operated models, insert the proper coins to start the machine.

For manually operated models, place the ON-OFF switch in the ON position and

press the Start switch.

For FL and EX models, insert a program card, turn the starter knob to the Start

position and place the ON-OFF switch in the ON position.

For HI-TEK microprocessor models, turn the key switch to the RUN position, choose

a program and press the START button.

For SELECTA 28 models, select a wash program and press the Start button.

THE MACHINE(S) SHOULD NOT START !

(b) CLOSE THE DOOR to start machine operation and, while it is operating, attempt to

open the door without exerting extreme force on the door handle. The door should

remain locked!

If the machine can start with the door open, or can continue to operate with the door

unlocked, the door interlock is no longer operating properly. The machine must be

placed out of order and the interlock immediately replaced.

(See the door interlock section of the manual.)

3. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO BYPASS OR REWIRE ANY OF

THE MACHINE SAFETY DEVICES AS THIS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

4. Be sure to keep the machine(s) in proper working order: Follow all maintenance and

safety procedures. Further information regarding machine safety, service and parts can be

obtained from your dealer or from Wascomat through its Teletech Service Telephone - 516/

371-0700.

All requests for assistance must include the model, serial number and electrical characteristics as

they appear on the machine identification plate. Insert this information in the space provided on the

previous page of this manual.
