Step 6 STEAM VENT
: The machine is equipped with a collar for 6" duct work as shown on pages 26 and
27. This duct should be directly vented to the outside of the building. DO NOT vent into a wall, attic,
or any other concealed space of the building, and avoid horizontal runs of duct.
The factory recommends 6" plastic pipe or stainless steel duct for the vent. If stainless steel is used, the
duct work should be installed with reverse joints so that the condensate inside the vent can drain back
into the machine without leaking. All seams should also be sealed with silicone sealant.
Generally, the machine will ship with fractional hp inline fan option. This fan should be mounted and
siliconed directly into the two adapters sent with the fan, and the adapter into the flange on the top of
the machine before the ductwork is installed. The adapters are machined so that they can be turned to
fit both the inlet and outlet of the fan. The fan is powered from the control circuit. Wire is provided to
connect the fan to the two terminals marked "FAN".
The fan is designed to run at two different speeds. The lower speed is to remove excess steam from the
machine during the wash cycle, which is determined by the speed control located inside the panel. The
speed control should be set so that it just removes any steam coming from around the door when the
machine is running fully loaded. The higher speed is controlled by a timer and runs at the end of each
cycle and when the door to the machine is open.
Note: Consult the factory before connecting any fan not supplied with the machine
Step 7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
:
The
electrical
connection
to
the
machine
should
be
made
by
a
qualified
electrician.
All
steps
should
be
taken
to
insure
that
the
supply
voltage
to
the
machine
is
the
same
as
the
rated
voltage
of
the
machine.
Also
check
that
sufficient
amperage
is
supplied
to
the
machine
(see
page
6
or
page
7
for
ratings).
A main power shutoff, supplied by the customer, must be installed near the machine in a place easily
accessible by anyone operating or servicing the machine. The line from the main shutoff to the
machine should be watertight flex conduit. The factory strongly recommends that a few extra feet be
used to allow the machine to be moved if necessary. The wire used to supply the machine must be
heavy enough to carry the amperage load of the machine. The supply should be run into the back of the
machine at the bottom, between the rinse tank and the side of the machine, and through the back of the
control box.
The first connection should be the main ground to the grounding lug at the lower right hand corner of
the control panel. Next the hookup can be made to the main power block. On 230 VAC machines the
wild leg must be connected to the center terminal.
Once the hookup is complete the circuit breakers in the control box of the washer must be checked to
make sure they are in the "OFF" position. The main switch on the wall can then be turned on to power
the machine.
