WASHER MAINTENANCE

Daily

IMPORTANT: The door lock should be checked daily to ensure proper operation. Also check that all safety and/or instruction stickers are on the machine. Any missing or illegible safety and/or instruction stickers should be replaced immediately.

Beginning of the Day

1. Verify that insulation is intact on all external wires and that all connections are secure. If bare wire is evident, call a service technician.
2. Check the door interlock before starting the operation:
   
   • a. Attempt to start the machine with the door open. The machine should not start with the door open.
   • b. Close the door and start the machine. Attempt to open the door while the cycle is in progress. The door should not open.

IMPORTANT: If the door lock and interlock are not functioning properly, take the machine out of service and contact a service technician.

End of the Day

1. Clean the AC drive box fan. Blow the fins clean by using compressed air at a pressure of 60-90 psi. The Fins may also be vacuumed clean. Use care to avoid damaging the cooling fan or other components.
2. Clean the machine’s top, front and side panels with mild detergent. Thoroughly rinse and dry all surfaces after cleaning them.
3. Remove all detergent residue from the soap dispenser.
4. Clean the door gasket and remove all detergents and other products.
5. Shut off the main water, steam and power connections at the end of each day. Do not change the setting of the water inlet taps on boiler-fed machines once these have been installed.
6. Leave the loading door and soap dispenser cover open at the end of each day to allow moisture to evaporate.

Note: Unload the machine promptly after each completed cycle to prevent moisture buildup. Leave the loading door open after each completed cycle to allow moisture to evaporate.

Weekly

1. Check the machine for leaks:
   • a. Start an unloaded cycle to fill the machine.
   • b. Verify that the door and door gasket do not leak.
   • c. Verify that the drain valve is operating and that the drain system is free from obstruction. If water does not leak out during the first wash segment, the drain valve is closed and functioning properly.
